Overview
CLOUDSIGHT
CLOUDSIGHT IS AN AWARD-WINNING, GLOBAL
LEADER IN IMAGE CAPTIONING AND
UNDERSTANDING. IT IS A LOS ANGELES-BASED
TECH COMPANY, STARTED IN 2012 BY DOMINIK
MAZUR AND BRADFORD FOLKENS. THEY HAVE
RECEIVED VARIOUS AWARDS – ‘AMERICAN
FOUNDATION FOR BLINDNESS ACCESS AWARD’;
‘APPLEVIZ IOS HALL OF FAME’ & MANY MORE.
THE AIM OF THE COMPANY IS TO DELIVER THE
MOST SUPERIOR AND STATE-OF-THE-ART
SOLUTION TO PEOPLE AND COMPANIES ALL
AROUND THE WORLD.

USP
BEFORE CLOUDSIGHT’S S PRESENCE IN AI, SIRI HAD LAUNCHED VOICE RECOGNITION,
WHICH HELPED US IN DRIVING MEANING FROM OUR SPEECH THAT WAS CONSIDERED
GROUNDBREAKING IN CONSUMER TECHNOLOGY, BUT THERE WAS NO FOCUS ON VISUAL
UNDERSTANDING- OUR AI WAS BLIND. BUT WITH THE RELEASE OF ON-DEVICE COMPUTER
VISION, CLOUDSIGHT SEEKS TO CHANGE THE FACE OF IMAGE RECOGNITION FOREVER.
THEY DEVELOPED AN API THAT EMPLOYS DEEP LEARNING, A TECHNOLOGY THAT
SIMULATES THE HUMAN BRAIN, 'LEARNING' FROM ITS MISTAKES OVER TIME AND USES
THAT DATA TO RECOGNIZE IMAGES/VIDEOS AND RETURN AN ACCURATE AND WELL-
WORDED DESCRIPTION. SINCE OUR AI NOW LIVES ON THE PHONE INSTEAD OF THE CLOUD,
THE DOORS HAVE OPENED UP FOR EXTREMELY FAST RECOGNITION SPEEDS, REAL-TIME
STREAMING, AND FULL DATA PRIVACY. OVER 1.25 BILLION IMAGES HAVE BEEN UPLOADED
TO THE CLOUDSIGHT API.
IN THE PAST, USERS OF THE CLOUDSIGHT API HAVE COME TO EXPECT SPEEDS OF ABOUT 1
SECOND WHEN USING THE COMPUTER VISION-ONLY MODEL, AND 8 TO 12 SECONDS WHEN
USING A HUMAN IN THE LOOP. WITH THE ON-DEVICE MODEL, THE AVERAGE RESPONSE
TIME IS CURRENTLY ~250MS (1/4TH OF A SECOND), A SPEED SO FAST IT MIGHT EVEN GIVE
YOUR EYES A RUN FOR THEIR MONEY. THERE’S ALSO NO NEED FOR A WI-FI CONNECTION
OR CELL SERVICE TO RECOGNIZE IMAGES.
REAL-TIME STREAMING ESSENTIALLY MEANS YOU CAN SCAN YOUR PHONE AROUND, AND
WHENEVER YOU STOP ON AN OBJECT AND YOUR PHONE FOCUSES, THE TECHNOLOGY WILL
IMMEDIATELY RECOGNIZE THE OBJECT.
WITH THE ON-DEVICE MODEL, EVERYTHING IS HAPPENING ON YOUR PHONE ITSELF. IN
OTHER WORDS, THE IMAGE NEVER LEAVES YOUR PHONE, FULLY ELIMINATING ANY DATA
PRIVACY CONCERNS. WE HOPE THIS WILL LEAD USERS TO FEEL MORE COMFORTABLE
USING THE TECHNOLOGY.

 Impact
CLOUDSIGHT API WAS POWERED IN PRODUCTS LIKE
TAPTAPSEE, WHICH IS A MOBILE CAMERA
APPLICATION DESIGNED SPECIFICALLY FOR VISUALLY
IMPAIRED AND BLIND USERS, WHO CANUTILIZE THE
DEVICE’S CAMERA AND VOICEOVER FUNCTIONS TO
PHOTOGRAPH OBJECTS AND IT IDENTIFIES THE IMAGE
FOR THEM OUT LOUD. THIS IS BENEFICIAL FOR THEM
AS IT RECOGNIZES TWO- OR THREE-DIMENSIONAL
IMAGES KEPT AT ANY ANGLE.
CLOUDSIGHT’S BREAKTHROUGH IMAGE RECOGNITION
TECHNOLOGY IS NOW AVAILABLE IN YOUR PRIVATE
CLOUD, VIA A GOOGLE CLOUD VIRTUAL MACHINE
IMAGE. IF YOUR BUSINESS USES A PRIVATE CLOUD, OR
THERE ARE PRIVACY OR SECURITY REQUIREMENTS
THAT PREVENT ITS USE, THEN THIS OPTION IS THE
PERFECT SOLUTION.

The future it holds

CLOUDSIGHT HAS RECOGNIZED OVER 1 BILLION IMAGES. AND IS
SUCCESSFUL IN FORMING HUMAN-LIKE DESCRIPTIVE SENTENCES
BY CHOOSING EACH WORD IN THE PHRASE FROM A FLEXIBLE
VOCABULARY OF OVER 20,000 WORDS.
PEOPLE HAVE TREMENDOUS FLEXIBILITY TO CREATE FRIENDLY
AND INTELLIGENT APPS, ROBOTICS, TOYS, AND OTHER
PRODUCTS. THE IMAGE RECOGNITION MARKET IS ESTIMATED TO
GROW FROM USD 15.95 BILLION TO USD 38.92 BILLION BY THE
END OF 2021.
THUS, THIS PUBLIC IR API CAN BE USED WITH SLIGHT UP-
GRADATION FOR FUTURE USE SUCH AS CREATING CITY GUIDES,
POWERING SELF-DRIVING CARS, BOOST IN AUGMENTED REALITY
APPLICATION & GAMING, AUTOMATION IN DETECTING DEFECTS
DURING MANUFACTURING
