Computer vision documentation

What is computer vision API?
The cloud-based Computer Vision API provides developers with access to advanced algorithms for processing images and returning information.
By uploading an image or specifying an image URL, Computer Vision algorithms can analyze visual content in different ways based on inputs and user choices..
What is document image analysis in computer vision?
Document image analysis refers to algorithms and techniques that are applied to images of documents to obtain a computer-readable description from pixel data.
A well-known document image analysis product is the Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software that recognizes characters in a scanned document..
Computer vision leverages artificial intelligence (AI) to allow computers to obtain meaningful data from visual inputs such as photos and videos.
The insights gained from computer vision are then used to take automated actions.
In computer vision, a descriptor is a mathematical representation of an image or an image patch that encapsulates import.

Azure AI Vision for digital asset management

Azure AI Vision can power many digital asset management (DAM) scenarios.
DAM is the business process of organizing, storing, and retrieving rich media assets and managing digital rights and permissions.
For example, a company may want to group and identify images based on visible logos, faces, objects, colors, and so on.
Or, you might want to autom.

Data privacy and security

As with all of the Azure AI services, developers using the Azure AI Vision service should be aware of Microsoft's policies on customer data.
See the Azure AI services page on the Microsoft Trust Center to learn more.

Getting started

How does computer vision work?

By uploading an image or specifying an image URL, Computer Vision algorithms can analyze visual content in different ways based on inputs and user choices.
REST APIs and client library SDKs are available to help developers build applications to incorporate Computer Vision capabilities.

Image requirements

Azure AI Vision can analyze images that meet the following requirements:

Overview

Azure's Azure AI Vision service gives you access to advanced algorithms that process images and return information based on the visual features you're interested in.

What are Microsoft vision services?

The following Microsoft services offer simple solutions to address common computer vision tasks:

Vision Services are a set of pre-trained REST APIs which can be called for image tagging

face recognition

OCR

video analytics

and more.

What is a computer vision repository?

This repository provides examples and best practice guidelines for building computer vision systems.
The goal of this repository is to build a comprehensive set of tools and examples that leverage recent advances in Computer Vision algorithms, neural architectures, and operationalizing such systems.

What is Computer Vision Toolbox?

C/C++ and GPU code generation and acceleration, HDL code generation, and OpenCV interface for MATLAB and Simulink Computer Vision Toolbox provides algorithms, functions, and apps for designing and testing computer vision, 3D vision, and video processing systems.
