Companies building image and video analysis AI applications.
Market snapshot
These figures describe Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning (9.2.1), the segment that Computer Vision & Image Recognition sits within. They are not figures for Computer Vision & Image Recognition on its own.
Not separately classified. AI is sold as a feature of software and as consulting hours, never as its own industry, so the spend is distributed across the segments that deliver it. For a buyer the durable asset is rarely the model; it is the labeled data and the workflow integration, both of which are far harder to replicate than the algorithm.
