From ecommerce platforms encouraging customers to share product images to social media companies promoting user-generated videos and images, using user content for engagement is a powerful strategy. However, it can be challenging to ensure that this user-generated content is consistent with your policies and fosters […]

High-resolution imagery is very prevalent in today’s world, from satellite imagery to drones and DLSR cameras. From this imagery, we can capture damage due to natural disasters, anomalies in manufacturing equipment, or very small defects such as defects on printed circuit boards (PCBs) or semiconductors. Building anomaly detection models using high-resolution imagery can be challenging […]

Digital publishers are continuously looking for ways to streamline and automate their media workflows in order to generate and publish new content as rapidly as they can. Publishers can have repositories containing millions of images and in order to save money, they need to be able to reuse these images across articles. Finding the image that best matches an article in repositories of this scale can be a time-consuming, repetitive, manual task that can be automated. It also relies on the images in the repository being tagged correctly, which can also be automated (for a customer success story, refer to Aller Media Finds Success with KeyCore and AWS). In this post, we demonstrate how to use Amazon Rekognition, Amazon SageMaker JumpStart, and Amazon OpenSearch Service to solve this business problem.

Machine learning (ML) is transforming every industry, process, and business, but the path to success is not always straightforward. In this blog post, we demonstrate how Duke Energy, a Fortune 150 company headquartered in Charlotte, NC., collaborated with the AWS Machine Learning Solutions Lab (MLSL) to use computer vision to automate the inspection of wooden utility poles and help prevent power outages, property damage and even injuries.

Amazon Rekognition is a fully managed service that can perform CV tasks like object detection, video segment detection, content moderation, […]

Generative AI technology is improving rapidly, and it’s now possible to generate text and images based on text input. Stable Diffusion is a text-to-image model that empowers you to create photorealistic applications. You can easily generate images from text using Stable Diffusion models through Amazon SageMaker JumpStart. The following are examples of input texts and […]

Vision loss comes in various forms. For some, it’s from birth, for others, it’s a slow descent over time which comes with many expiration dates: The day you can’t see pictures, recognize yourself, or loved ones faces or even read your mail. In our previous blogpost Enable the Visually Impaired to Hear Documents using Amazon […]

In this post, we discuss a machine learning (ML) solution for complex image searches using Amazon Kendra and Amazon Rekognition. Specifically, we use the example of architecture diagrams for complex images due to their incorporation of numerous different visual icons and text. With the internet, searching and obtaining an image has never been easier. Most […]
