Microsoft Azure Cognitive Services offer various commoditized yet powerful and sophisticated services to work with visual content through Computer Vision.

Currently those services can:

• detect and recognize Faces,
• classify images or find objects in an image,
• run spatial analytics on video,
• understand rich information in an image,
• process whole videos and get insights from the video,
• recognize handwriting and ink in applications,
• provide OCR (Optical Character Recognition) on documents,
• automatically parse a scan of a paper form.

This fast paced session will introduce the currently available set of services and explain, through sample code and demonstrations, how to use them.

You will learn:

• About the capabilities of Computer Vision in Cognitive Services
• See Computer Vision based Cognitive Services in Action
• How to use the services through demonstrations and sample code
