Object detection-OpenSearch(Open Search)-阿里云帮助中心

Automatically detects and identifies one or more objects in an image, suitable for computer vision applications such as intelligent surveillance, autonomous driving, and image search.

Service name	Service ID	Description	API QPS limit
object detection service	ops-object-detect-001	A multi-object detection model developed by the Alibaba Cloud OpenSearch-AI team. Detects multiple independent objects in an image and returns a bounding box and confidence score for each. Use it to extract objects from complex scenes as input for downstream tasks, helping eliminate interference from the image background or other objects with embedding and reranking models.	20 Note To request a higher API QPS limit, submit a ticket to technical support.

face detection service	ops-object-detect-face-001	Automatically detects and locates one or more faces in an image. Ideal for applications such as intelligent surveillance and image search.

Prerequisites

Get authentication credentials

The AI Search open platform requires an API key for authentication. For instructions, see Get an API key.
Get the service endpoint

You can call the service via the public network or a VPC. For details, see Get the service endpoint.

Request details

General notes

The request body cannot exceed 8 MB.

HTTP method

POST

URL

{host}/v3/openapi/workspaces/{workspace_name}/image-object-detection/{service_id}

Parameters:

host: The service endpoint. You can call the API service over the public network or from a VPC. For details, see Get a service endpoint. The public API domain provides public network access, and the internal API domain provides access from within the same region (including from a VPC). Both endpoints support the HTTPS protocol.
workspace_name: The name of your workspace, such as default.
service_id: The ID of the built-in service, such as ops-object-detect-001.
