  • With inappropriate ad placement a hot topic among digital advertising players, Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) has launched new tools to help it court businesses that might be skittish after the YouTube ad pull-outs.
  • Microsoft says a new Video Indexer can identify faces, voices and emotions in video, and a Custom Vision Search makes for easy construction of apps to recognize images.
  • Those moves are counters to work at rivals Google (GOOG, GOOGL) -- which launched a tool similar to Microsoft's Video Indexer in March -- and Amazon.com (NASDAQ:AMZN), which promises its cloud-based service can flag offensive images.
  • IDC says the market for such tools will grow to more than $47B in sales in 2020, from $8B in 2016.
