The Cloud Vision API provides a set of features for analyzing images. Across these scenarios, we enable you to pay only for what you use with no upfront commitments. The API supports the following features:
| Feature Type | Description |
|---|---|
| LABEL_DETECTION | Add labels based on image content (see Label Detection Tutorial) |
| TEXT_DETECTION | Perform Optical Character Recognition (OCR) on text within the image |
| SAFE_SEARCH_DETECTION | Determine image safe search properties on the image |
| FACE_DETECTION | Detect faces within the image (see Face Detection Tutorial) |
| LANDMARK_DETECTION | Detect geographic landmarks within the image |
| LOGO_DETECTION | Detect company logos within the image |
| IMAGE_PROPERTIES | Compute a set of properties about the image (such as the image's dominant colors) |
Prices
Charges are incurred for each feature applied to an image. Each feature applied to an image is a billable unit. For example, if you apply Face Detection and Label Detection to the same image, each feature would be billed individually. In this case, the user is billed for 1 unit of Label Detection and 1 unit for Face Detection. Price is determined by number of units per month. Each feature has a price for 1000 units/month.
Price per 1000 units. Unit volumes are based on monthly usage.
