Google Cloud Vision API
By Google
(88)4.4 out of 5
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. Leveraging our API, developers can quickly build applications able to classify images into thousands of categories (e.g., "sailboat", "lion", "Eiffel Tower"), detect individual objects and faces within images, build metadata on image catalog, moderate offensive content, enable new marketing scenarios through image sentiment analysis, and more.

Deepdream
By Google
(13)3.8 out of 5
And this is where Google's deep dream ideas originate. With simple words you give to an AI program a couple of images and let it know what those images contain ( what objects - dogs, cats, mountains, bicycles, ... ) and give it a random image and ask it what objects it can find in this image.
