# Detect objects

POST `/detect-objects`

This is an optional step when doing image search. This endpoint helps you detect and extract specific objects in an image to give users a more precise image search experience. We use computer vision technology to automatically detect and extract the specific objects, providing you with a confidence score. Once you get the response with the cropped images, you can send pass the selected image through the [Image Search](/search/image-search.md) flow.
