AI-102 Implement computer vision solutions Practice Question
You are developing a mobile app that allows users to take a photo of a product and get information about it. The app must identify the product from the image. Which Azure AI service should you use?
⚠ Common exam trap
Many exam-takers confuse image classification with object detection, thinking that identifying a product requires bounding boxes, when in fact classification alone suffices for determining the product type without needing its location in the image.
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Azure AI Custom Vision with image classification
Azure AI Custom Vision with image classification is specifically designed to identify and categorize products or objects within an image based on trained labels. This service allows you to upload images of products, train a model to recognize them, and then use the model to classify new product photos, making it ideal for a product identification app.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Azure AI Vision OCR
Why it's wrong here
OCR extracts text from images, not product identification.
- ✗
Azure AI Face API
Why it's wrong here
Azure AI Face API detects and analyses human faces — facial recognition, verification and emotion — so it cannot identify a product from a photo. It is tempting because it is a vision service that accepts images, and it would be the right choice for scenarios such as face-based authentication or detecting people in footage.
- ✓
Azure AI Custom Vision with image classification
Why this is correct
Custom Vision image classification trains a model on your own labelled product images, returning the predicted product class for a photo. This satisfies identifying a specific product, which a pre-trained general service cannot do without custom training.
- ✗
Azure AI Custom Vision with object detection
Why it's wrong here
Object detection returns bounding boxes and class labels for multiple objects, not a single product identity for lookup. It is tempting because Custom Vision trains on your own images, but that suits detecting where items sit in a photo, not recognising one product to retrieve its details.
