What is the primary function of the Google Cloud Vision API?

The primary function of the Google Cloud Vision API is to analyze images and extract information. This API provides powerful machine learning capabilities that enable developers to implement image analysis features in their applications. It can recognize objects, text, and faces within images, as well as identify landmarks, logos, and even categorize images based on their content. By converting visual data into usable information, developers can create richer and more interactive experiences in their applications.

The capabilities offered by the Vision API allow users to automate processes such as photo tagging, content moderation, and even compliance checks, making it a versatile tool in data management and analysis. The focus is squarely on interpreting and utilizing the visual information present in images, rather than storage, enhancement, or gallery creation, which are not the core functions of this API.
