Automated recognition tools are the talk of the town lately. Many well known companies created their own tool that can analyze pictures and detect logos. Even we at Sagacify created our own automated recognition tool that helps companies detect logos in press articles.

A picture is worth a thousand words

The flood of images people see on a daily basis is overwhelming. To handle this massive load of information, AI has been proven a useful tool when it comes to recognizing and detecting a specific image as well as monitoring its performance in domain-specific media. Sagacify proudly contributed in the creation of the so-called image recognition tools alongside others, including giants such as Google and Amazon.

Especially for brands, this enormous image data should be identified, analyzed and exploited with the aim of protecting their image and marketing of themselves. If brands refuse to adapt, they can miss out on the opportunities this new valuable data pool has to offer.

Now, how does it actually work? By the use of AI in the form of neural network, the pixels of a vast amount of images are processed. More and more images are fed to the system so that it can learn to identify similar objects. This type of AI can be applied to a wide array of domains ranging from autonomous vehicles (recognizing stop signs or pedestrians) to comparing prices (what is the price in the other store?).
