Computer Vision
AI that interprets images and video — detection, classification, and recognition.
Computer vision is an AI discipline that trains models to extract meaning from images and video, covering tasks such as object detection, image classification, facial analysis, and text extraction (OCR). On AWS, Amazon Rekognition delivers these capabilities as a fully managed API requiring no model training — a key distinction from building a custom vision model in Amazon SageMaker. The AIF-C01 exam often tests matching a use case to the right service: Rekognition for pre-built tasks (content moderation, celebrity recognition, label detection), and SageMaker when a custom model trained on proprietary image data is required. Confusing managed inference with custom training is a common error.
