Azure AI Vision is a tool provided by Microsoft Azure that enables computer vision development and analysis. It offers features such as OCR, object detection, and image analysis to unlock insights from image and video content. With Azure AI Vision, you can analyze images, extract text, and detect faces without the need for machine learning experience. It also provides prebuilt image tagging, text extraction with optical character recognition (OCR), and responsible facial recognition.
Some of the key features of Azure AI Vision include image analysis with over 10,000 concepts and objects, spatial analysis to understand people's presence and movements, optical character recognition (OCR) to extract printed and handwritten text, and facial recognition for intelligent applications that recognize and verify human identity. Additionally, you can customize image classification and object detection models to fit your specific needs, and the tool also provides guidance on using computer vision responsibly.

FAQ
Azure AI Vision is available globally. You can access it from anywhere with an internet connection.
The SLA for Azure AI Vision is outlined in the Azure Service Level Agreement documentation. You can find more information about SLAs on the Azure website.
Azure AI Vision does not store your images or videos by default. However, you have control over the data and can choose to store it in Azure services if desired.
Spatial analysis in Azure AI Vision detects people's presence and movements within physical areas, but it does not identify individual faces or identities.
The amount of data you need to train a custom model depends on the specific task and complexity. However, Azure AI Vision allows you to train models with just a handful of images, without compromising accuracy.
Azure AI Vision can be used in conjunction with other Azure services, such as Azure Cognitive Services, Azure Machine Learning, and Azure Functions, to build comprehensive AI solutions.
