Building Computer Vision Solutions with Azure

Course

This course is designed for anyone who would like to use computer vision technology in their application to solve a business problem. You will begin by learning what computer vision is and its business use cases through real-life business use cases. You will then learn to create solutions using different types of vision-based Azure Cognitive Services, including Azure Form Recognizer for text extraction, Azure Face and Video Analyzer for facial detection and recognition, and Azure Computer Vision and Custom Vision for image classification and object detection. Finally, you will learn and apply the deployment and monitoring tools to ensure that your solution is complete and runs smoothly.
