Or an app that is capable of monitoring what is happening inside an area without human control, and then makes a decision based on interpreting an occurrence detected with a live camera. This book teaches developers Microsoft's Computer Vision APIs, a service capable of understanding and interpreting the content of any image.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAuthor Del Sole begins by providing a succinct \"need to know\" overview of the service with descriptions. You then learn from hands-on demonstrations that show how basic C# code examples can be re-used across platforms. From there you will be guided through two different kinds of applications that interact with the service in two different ways: the more common means of calling a REST service to get back JSON data, and via the .NET libraries that Microsoft has been building to simplify the job (this latter one with Xamarin). \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat You'll Learn\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnderstand AI's role and how devices and applications use sophisticated algorithms to improve people's lives and business tasks.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnalyze images for Optical Character Recognition to detect written words and sentences\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThink about the next-generation applications in relation to your customers' needs\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGet up-to-speed on the latest version of the Computer Vision service, which now comes through Azure\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSet up an Azure subscription in order to access the Cognitive Services within the portal\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAfter reading this book, you will be able to get started with AI services from Microsoft in order to begin building powerful new apps for your company or customers.\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWho This Book Is For \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eDevelopers just getting familiar with artificial intelligence.
