Elastic Machine Learning is not used for image recognition. It is used to automatically model the normal behavior of your time series data — learning trends, periodicity, and more — in real time to identify anomalies, streamline root cause analysis, and reduce false positives. See [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/xpack-ml.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/xpack-ml.html) and [https://www.elastic.co/videos/machine-learning-in-the-elastic-stack](https://www.elastic.co/videos/machine-learning-in-the-elastic-stack) for more information ---

Elastic Machine Learning's capabilities cannot currently help with your use case. It is currently limited to time-series anomaly detection and forecasting. ---
