esp-v2 VS nodejs-vision

Moreover, integrating rate limiting can thwart DDoS attacks, and schema validation can prevent malformed requests, ensuring only legitimate and well-formed traffic reaches your serverless functions. Tools like Amazon API Gateway, Azure API Management, and Google Cloud Endpoints offer these capabilities, allowing you to set up custom authorization workflows and request validation rules that align with your security requirements.

AFAIK, API Gateway is just managed Cloud Endpoints, which are just ESPv2 containers. Cloud Endpoints are still a thing but I would agree that they are a bit dead, as they don't support OpenAPI v3, which was released in 2016. See this support ticket from 2018: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/78271318?pli=1

We use the ESPv2 gateway (https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/esp-v2) to transcode between REST/JSON and gRPC/protobuf for client-to-backend communication.

Google also used all of this to improve their OCR algorithms, almost certainly used in Google Cloud Vision[0], but I doubt this was a consideration when deciding if it was transformative/fair use.

You are looking for a computer vision object recognition api, and there are several, all of which cost money. Here are a couple Google’s Microsoft’s

For an example, Google Cloud API which can read images even facial expression and much more and also can differentiate which Image is violating google terms and condition like - pronographic image

I think you’re underestimating how good OCR tech is. Yeah, shitty penmanship will be harder for software to interpret just as it is for the human eye, but legible ink isn’t much of a problem. I just tried scanning my number off my discs and my iPhone digitized it without issue. This technology is essentially made for digitizing handwritten text.

you guys can use this website to extract the japanese texts from the manga pages : https://cloud.google.com/vision/ , then you can google-translate the texts .
