API from Google that performs image classification, optical character recognition (OCR), and other functions. Free within certain daily usage limits.
Image Processing or Image Analysis, terms often used for quantitative analysis of images, is a quickly growing part of Digital Humanities. One example area includes "Image Classification", the process of using machine learning to extract objects from an image (e.g. hat, apple, dog, boat). However, Image Processing is not limited to classification, but might also include analysis and visualization of image metadata, or Optical Character Recognition (OCR).
