Landmark Recognition

With ML Kit's landmark recognition API, you can recognize well-known landmarks in an image.

When you pass an image to this API, you get the landmarks that were recognized in it, along with each landmark's geographic coordinates and the region of the image the landmark was found. You can use this information to automatically generate image metadata, create individualized experiences for users based on the content they share, and more.

Get Google Knowledge Graph entity IDs A Knowledge Graph entity ID is a string that uniquely identifies the landmark that was recognized, and is the same ID used by the Knowledge Graph Search API. You can use this string to identify an entity across languages, and independently of the formatting of the text description.
