Watson Visual Recognition: How to find location of classified content


Is there a way to get Watson Visual Recognition to return the location of the classified content (car, tree, etc.) when using image classification? This capability exists in the face recognition service and would be invaluable in general image classification.

The current documentation for image classification has no information on this topic.


Solution

  • We recognize the value of object localization, however this function is not provided by the visual recognition service. One approach some users have taken, is to segment their image first and then submit the segments of interest to the service.
