Computer Vision & Azure Vision — AI-900 Practice Question
A representative Microsoft Azure AI Fundamentals (AI-900) exam question on Computer Vision & Azure Vision. Work through it below, then read why each option is right or wrong.
Short answer
The correct answer is B. Image Classification.
Image Classification assigns images to predefined categories (in this case, animal species) based on their visual content. This is exactly what's needed to identify which species appears in each photo. OCR (A) extracts text from images. Spatial Analysis (C) analyzes movement patterns in video. Face Detection (D) identifies human faces.
The Question
A wildlife conservation organization wants to automatically identify animal species in camera trap photos. Which Azure AI Vision capability should they use?
Why B is correct
Image Classification assigns images to predefined categories (in this case, animal species) based on their visual content. This is exactly what's needed to identify which species appears in each photo. OCR (A) extracts text from images. Spatial Analysis (C) analyzes movement patterns in video. Face Detection (D) identifies human faces.
Why the other options are wrong
Option A does not satisfy the requirement in the scenario. Review the explanation above: the correct choice (B) is the only one that fully meets every constraint stated in the question.
Option C does not satisfy the requirement in the scenario. Review the explanation above: the correct choice (B) is the only one that fully meets every constraint stated in the question.
Option D does not satisfy the requirement in the scenario. Review the explanation above: the correct choice (B) is the only one that fully meets every constraint stated in the question.
Key idea: Computer Vision & Azure Vision
Image Classification assigns images to predefined categories (in this case, animal species) based on their visual content. This is exactly what's needed to identify which species appears in each photo. OCR (A) extracts text from images. Spatial Analysis (C) analyzes movement patterns in video. Face Detection (D) identifies human faces. On the AI-900 exam, questions in the "Computer Vision on Azure" domain test whether you can map a scenario's constraints to the right choice. Read the requirement carefully, eliminate options that violate any single constraint, and pick the one that satisfies all of them with the least operational overhead.
