## What it is
Deprecated sample code repository for Google's Mobile Vision API on Android, demonstrating face detection, barcode scanning, and text recognition. It has been archived and superseded by ML Kit.

## Use cases
- detect faces in android camera feed
- scan barcodes and qr codes on android
- recognize text from images on android
- learn mobile vision api examples
- migrate from mobile vision to ml kit

## When to choose
- you need reference code for the legacy Mobile Vision API on older Android projects

## When to avoid
- starting a new Android ML/vision project
- you need maintained or updated vision features
- you want on-device image labeling or newer ML capabilities

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: abandoned
- function: computer-vision, ocr, image-processing
- domain: computer-vision, mobile-development, machine-learning
- platform: -
- tags: mobile-vision, google, samples, deprecated, ml-kit, face-detection, barcode-scanning, text-recognition, android
