About
Azure Vision (previously Microsoft Azure Vision) is a computer vision service that enables apps to analyze images, read text, and detect faces using prebuilt image tagging, optical character recognition (OCR), and facial recognition. The service provides image analysis pulling from more than 10,000 concepts and objects to detect, classify, caption, and generate insights. It includes spatial analysis to track movement and analyze environments in real time, OCR to extract printed and handwritten text from images with mixed languages and writing styles, and facial recognition with liveness detection to verify human identity. The service requires no machine learning expertise and uses a pay-as-you-go pricing model based on number of transactions.
