Firebase MLKit for people in a hurry!
This story will outline the summary of a series of blogs written by me on Firebase MLKit.
So think of this as a TL;DR for a quick refresher!
Overview : MLKit is a collection of powerful machine learning APIs made available to mobile developers via the Firebase Console.
While powerful, these APIs are super easy to implement and understand.
The APIs provide both cloud and on device processing.
While the On Device APIs are faster and work offline, the Cloud APIs are more accurate.
Image Labelling API
The Image labelling API is super useful for extracting features from a provided image.
Creating a Google Lens clone using Firebase MLKit
It can extract a wide array of features ranging for common day to day use objects to colors and human emotions.
This API allows for both cloud and on device processing.
Text Recognition API
The Text Detection API detects and provides us with the text in a provided image.
Creating a Credit Card Scanner using Firebase MLKit
It can extract both latin and non latin characters in an Image and also provides the bounding area for those texts.
Similar to the earlier API, this API also has support for both cloud and on device processing with the former one providing support for non latin characters and the latter one being limited to english characters only.
