Facial recognition for forensics has improved investigations and supports diverse AI analytics
I have not used any pre-trained model with Azure AI Vision; we are using only a customized model. For Azure AI Vision, we wanted a complete pre-trained model. Actually, we did not find any pre-trained model for a specific domain, so we are building from scratch. I know it is difficult to build it from scratch. For example, in a legal department, we are using the Iron Legal BERT model, a pre-trained model for law. We are expecting similar pre-trained models in medical or emergency services so that we can improve. I see Med-Image-Insight, which is one application being used. It is already open, but we want to see it more in different domains as well. I want a complete pre-trained model inbuilt with Azure AI Vision so that it can help in other domains as well. Then I can directly consume the API and solve the problem. For now, we are using customized code, which may be vulnerable to security issues, and we do not have access to datasets in certain domains. If they can come up with a complete customized or complete pre-trained model, I would say ten out of ten is achievable.

Simple to set up and good training but needs better annotation capabilities
When you are annotating, you have to create a bounding box around the car to tell the model, "Okay, this is where the car is." You can use open source and third parties to work on this platform and they allow you to zoom in on the image, so you can properly mark the coordinate. However, Azure Custom Vision does not allow you to zoom in on the image. Also, once you upload an image, you do not have the provision to download it or to search the file by file name, all that facility is not available.
