1.2.2. Output Structure Determines Capability Type
Once you've identified the workload category, the output structure tells you which specific capability applies. Within Computer Vision, for example:
The following table shows how output structure distinguishes capabilities:
| If the output is... | The capability is... | Example |
|---|---|---|
| A single label for the whole image | Image Classification | "This is a cat" |
| Bounding boxes with positions | Object Detection | "Cat at coordinates (100,50,200,150)" |
| Extracted text | OCR | "Stop sign text: STOP" |
| Face locations and attributes | Facial Detection | "Face detected, age ~30, glasses: yes" |
