AI-102 Question 131
Single answerYou are designing an AI solution to analyze images for a retail application. The application needs to identify whether a product is present in an image and also locate the product's exact position within the image. Which type of model should you choose for this requirement?
- A
Image classification
- B
Object detection
- C
Semantic segmentation
- D
Text recognition
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Object detection is the appropriate model for this scenario because it not only identifies the presence of objects (e.g., products) but also pinpoints their location in the image using bounding boxes. This aligns with the requirement to determine both the presence and position of the product in the image. Image classification only identifies the presence, while other options are either too specific or unrelated to the task.
- A. Incorrect.
Image classification can identify the presence of a product in an image but cannot determine its exact position. This does not meet the requirements of the scenario.
- B. Correct.
Object detection can identify the product in the image and also locate its position by providing bounding boxes. This is the correct choice for the given scenario.
- C. Incorrect.
Semantic segmentation can determine the class of each pixel in the image, which is more granular than necessary for this use case. It is not the most efficient choice here.
- D. Incorrect.
Text recognition is used to detect and extract text from images. It is not relevant to the requirement of identifying and locating objects like products.
