On a slight tangent, when I saw "in 2020", my initial reaction was to think this was a post speculating about the image recognition trends in the far future.
And then I realized it is November 2019.
It does sound like the far future, doesn't it? But no, the blog post tackles applications of image recognition that are knocking on our door.
Yes, 60 days and the '20 are upon us :)
2020 is the successor of "the new millennium", and is now succeeded by 2035 and 2050. For some reason we affix all kinds of goals across society to a handful of years. It's really strange and makes those years sound like the far future even when they are already in the past.
The final "global image recognition market" chat must be one of the worst visualisations ever... What is the sense of it starting and ending with 0 for both lines ? Why not plot round in a circle?
That chart is indeed all around "not great". It has no business being a line chart since the lines are meaningless (what's 50% between Barcode Recognition and Facial Recognition?), the two points at zero make no sense, and one of the axis is completely unlabeled (presumable compounded annual growth rate?)
