Cloud Provider Equivalencies

All four are managed computer-vision services that analyze images (and often video) to detect labels/objects, read text (OCR), and support custom model workflows. GCP’s Vision offering is commonly accessed via Vision API and is increasingly positioned under Vertex AI for model management and MLOps; AWS Rekognition and Azure AI Vision provide similar prebuilt detection and OCR features; OCI Vision offers image classification/object detection and document/receipt-style extraction features depending on configuration.
