Abstract: This study evaluates the performance of four image recognition tools (Amazon Rekognition, Clarifai, Imagga and Google Cloud Vision API) for automatic image metadata. The experiment was conducted on various image categories, including human, animal, plant and flower, view and landscape, vegetable and fruit, food, vehicle, tourist landmark, art and culture and old book cover and posters. Semantic and label-based analysis was used to evaluate the performance of each tool. Results indicate that each tool performed differently across categories, demonstrating the importance of selecting the appropriate tool for specific tasks. Clarifai was found to perform best for human, animal and food image tagging, while Amazon Rekognition was best for vegetable-fruit and vehicle images. Imagga performed best for plant and flower, art and culture and old book cover and posters image recognition, while Google Cloud Vision API performed best for view and landscape and tourist landmark recognition.
