This would be great to run a security camera still feed through. It could completely eliminate false positives.

We still have a ways to go, to completely eliminating false positives, but these tools will help us get there. For example, you can recognize different types of objects now but we still need to figure out which are meaningful or not (like a person or animal vs a tree blowing in the wind). Even certain classes, some are benign while others or not, for example pedestrians walking by the front of my house versus a guy wearing ski mask fiddling with my window, they're both people, but their behavior is what separates them.

Even a confidence level would go a long way. If I get a notification that says "motion detected" I have to look at it, but if it said "motion detected, person with 75% confidence" that suddenly becomes much more valuable.

So, could you use this to solve the image recognition captcha's that ask you to select all images that contain [object]?

Maybe they will make you do a Captcha before you access the API?

LOL. The API requires you to first identify all of the objects in a different picture.

So then you bootstrap that using another api key :)

So they are launching all of these frameworks targeted to mobile but what's happening to Tensorflow Lite ? I'm beginning to think that these things that they are releasing are scaffolding for this . I really hope it's not going to be vaporware from google I/O
