The image classification service classifies elements in images into intuitive categories, such as people, objects, environments, activities, or artwork, to define image themes and application scenarios. It supports both device-based and cloud-based recognition modes. Device-based recognition refers to the process of running the detection algorithm model on the device and returning the recognition result. It supports more than 400 common image categories. Cloud-based recognition refers to the process of calling an API on the cloud where the detection algorithm model is running. It supports 12,000 image categories. For details about the classification category list, please refer to HUAWEI ML Kit Image Classification Categories.
