NEW YORK, NY—(Marketwired – March 17, 2016) –
Â
Nuxeo, developers of the Nuxeo Platform, which enables organizations to manage complex digital content at massive scale, in today's fast–paced world of big data, cloud, and analytics, announced today an integration with the Google Cloud Vision API, a new service providing information and insights automatically detected within images. The plugin is now available to download directly from the Nuxeo Marketplace, which offers optional packages to easily add new features to the Nuxeo Platform.
Using this plugin, the Nuxeo Platform exposes a powerful set of configurable image analysis features that can be applied upon file import, within a given workflow/business process, and/or on demand after a specific user action. In addition to processing any image attached to content objects, the Nuxeo Platform also applies the capabilities to video, using images extracted from the video storyboard.
Image features detected by the Google Cloud Vision service are available for use with Nuxeo process automation and business logic, and can also be stored as metadata and tags on the content object, including:
Image labeling based on detection of common objects, landmarks and/or brand logos
Faces, if any, detected in the image, including simple sentiment recognition (e.g., “joy,” “sorrow”)
Text found within the image, extracted via OCR
Safe search detection of different types of inappropriate content
Other general image attributes, such as the dominant color
Additionally, the Nuxeo plugin enables developers to specify business logic for customized operations with the Google Cloud Vision service, such as invoking workflows based on the presence of automatically added image metadata.
“The Google Vision team has done exceptional work to develop this fast, reliable and incredibly valuable service,” said Eric Barroca, CEO at Nuxeo. “When the Google Cloud Vision API was placed in public beta last month, we recognized this was game–changing technology for media and digital asset management applications. We immediately went to work integrating this service into the Nuxeo Platform, and we're proud to be among the first content management vendors to do so.”
Barroca added, “We strongly believe our integration with Google Vision greatly extends the strategic value of the Nuxeo Platform for our customers. By automatically adding a wealth of new, actionable metadata describing content within each image, Nuxeo enables a whole new level of image–based enterprise search, workflows and automation.”
The Nuxeo plugin, named Nuxeo Vision, has been developed to immediately support the Google Cloud Vision service, as well as other image recognition engines in the future.
The Google Cloud Vision API enables developers to understand the content of an image by encapsulating powerful machine learning models in an easy to use REST API. Complete details are available at cloud.google.com/vision.
