What is Landmark Detection API?

Landmark Detection API is a service that uses Computer Vision and Machine Learning algorithms to analyze the visual content of an image and detect known landmarks such as buildings, monuments, and natural features.

‍

This API can be integrated into various applications such as image search, image tagging, augmented reality, and image recognition systems.
