Key features
Ingest real-time video streams
Vertex AI Vision's serverless architecture allows you to quickly and conveniently stream real-time video and images to easily build out your computer vision applications. Easily connect cameras or devices from anywhere in the world and let Google handle ingestion and scaling.
Easily create computer vision applications
Create an application and combine components, such as video streams, ML models for analysis, and warehouses for storage, in minutes using Vertex AI Vision’s easy-to-use, low-code interface with drag-and-drop functionality. Easily connect application output to data destinations, like BigQuery, for analytics to drive real-time business actions.
Choice of ML models
Vertex AI Vision offers a choice of ML models for analytics. With pretrained models for common tasks, like object detection, person blur, PPE detector, and occupancy analytics, you can easily get started solving computer vision tasks using Vertex AI Vision. You can also import your existing AutoML or custom ML models from Vertex AI and integrate these into your Vertex AI Vision applications.
Reduced cost of video applications
Enjoy our low-cost billing plans for on-demand and continuous/power users. With the launch of monthly pricing in Q2 of 2023, Vertex AI Vision will be one tenth the cost of current offerings.
Developed in accordance with Google's Responsible AI principles
At Google Cloud, we prioritize helping customers safely develop and implement solutions using Vertex AI Vision through our AI principles. We encourage customers to consider fairness, safety, privacy and security, inclusiveness, and transparency when implementing Vertex AI Vision, and have collaborated closely with product teams to work toward responsible implementation.
"Vertex AI Vision is changing the game for use cases that for us have previously been economically unviable at scale. The ability to run computer vision models on streaming video with up to a 100X cost reduction for Plainsight is creating entirely new business opportunities for our customers."
Elizabeth Spears, Co-Founder & CPO, Plainsight

Set up a project and a development environment
This guide describes how to set up a Google Cloud project to start using Vertex AI Vision in the Google Cloud console.
Create video streams and ingest data
The first step in creating your application is setting up a pipeline for the continuous flow of data. See how you can ingest real-time video in Vertex AI Vision.
Build an application
Learn how to create an app and combine components—such as input streams, models for analysis, and warehouses for storage—for use on Vision AI's app platform.
Connect and store data to BigQuery
See how you can use BigQuery as your data destination ("data sink") from the processed data generated by your application.
Create and update a warehouse
A warehouse is a component you can add to your app to store processor output and streaming data.
Use a supplementary Vision API
Derive insights from images with AutoML Vision. Detect emotion and understand text with pretrained Vision API models.
