Chapter: Cloud Architecture
Cloud computing has evolved from providing basic infrastructure to enabling advanced technologies like AI/ML and IoT. These services allow organizations to scale quickly, automate tasks, and gain intelligent insights from data.
1. Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence (AI)
Cloud-based AI services have matured significantly, allowing developers to integrate advanced capabilities into applications without building ML models from scratch. These services are typically delivered via APIs and managed platforms.
a. Text Recognition (OCR – Optical Character Recognition)
Definition: Extracts machine-readable text from images or scanned documents using computer vision and deep learning models. Modern OCR services use convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and transformer-based models to recognize and structure text, including handwriting and tables.
Cloud Services:
- Amazon Textract – Extracts text, tables, and forms.
- Google Cloud Vision OCR – Recognizes printed and handwritten text in images.
- Azure Form Recognizer – Uses pre-trained models to extract key-value pairs and layout.
