Summary

Adopting a computer vision AI platform involves choosing between three main options: Cloud API, On-Premises, and Software Development Kit (SDK), each offering distinct benefits to businesses. Cloud APIs allow for the use of curated data sets from AI providers, offering improved model accuracy and requiring no maintenance, while ensuring data protection. On-Premises solutions keep data within a private network, providing greater control for large companies with sensitive information, although they lack the collective learning advantage of cloud-based solutions. SDKs enable app development for edge devices, processing data locally without needing an internet connection, which is beneficial in remote areas, but they typically offer reduced functionality compared to Cloud API or On-Premises options. Each of these methods allows users to harness the capabilities of computer vision, whether through internet connectivity, cloud access, or mobile devices.
