Microsoft Azure AI Fundamentals — Question 229

You need to identify street names based on street signs in photographs.

Which type of computer vision should you use?

Answer options

• A. object detection
• B. optical character recognition (OCR)
• C. image classification
• D. facial recognition

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, optical character recognition (OCR), because it specializes in reading and converting text from images into machine-readable data. Options A (object detection) and C (image classification) focus on identifying objects or categorizing images rather than reading text. Option D (facial recognition) is unrelated to reading street names, as it is specifically designed for identifying human faces.
