• Healthcare Industry: The image recognition technology is providing immense help in the healthcare industry. It helps in driving meaningful changes across the journey of a patient. Microsurgical procedures in the healthcare industry powered by robots use computer vision and image recognition techniques. The use of this technique has incremented in the last decade due to the advancements in machine learning and artificial intelligence. Real-time emotion detection can also be used to detect the emotions of the patients to analyze how they are feeling during the time they are hospitalized or when they are about to get discharged.
• Merged Reality: This is a fusion between virtual reality and augmented reality. To overcome the shortcomings of VR and AR, merged reality is created that delivers virtual-world experiences more dynamically and naturally.

Trax is designed for retail and consumer goods that contain SKU database, processing 40,000 images per hour. The quality and price of a product can be compared with the help of an image recognition technique. Tesco, Bengaluru is working with biometrics and image recognition technologies compromises of numerous engines spanning across recognition, geometry, quality scoring for building the technology for the stores, range planning of products and many more.
• Security Industry: This emerging technology is playing one of the vital roles in the security industry. Whether it be an office, a smartphone, bank or home, security measures are an integral part in very platforms. Many security devices have been developed that includes drones, security cameras, facial recognition biometric devices, etc. At CES 2019, SimCam home security and home automation cameras that are enabled with artificial intelligence for facial recognition, pet monitoring and much more via location training. Netatmo, a smart indoor camera has a feature that starts recording video only when the system detects any unknown faces.
• Social Media Platforms: Image recognition is playing quite well in this ground as it has made easier for the marketers to find visuals within social media. The image recognition tools are able to search the social media sites for images and compare them to the extensive libraries in order to uncover the right images at unparalleled speed and scale.
