Detects anomalies in an image that you supply.

The response from DetectAnomalies includes a boolean prediction that the image contains one or more anomalies and a confidence value for the prediction. If the model is an image segmentation model, the response also includes segmentation information for each type of anomaly found in the image.

Note

Before calling DetectAnomalies, you must first start your model with the StartModel operation. You are charged for the amount of time, in minutes, that a model runs and for the number of anomaly detection units that your model uses. If you are not using a model, use the StopModel operation to stop your model.

For more information, see Detecting anomalies in an image.

This operation requires permissions to perform the lookoutvision:DetectAnomalies operation.
