商品描述

Dive headfirst into Microsoft’s Computer Vision APIs through sample-driven scenarios!

 

Imagine an app that describes to the visually impaired the objects around them, or reads the Sunday paper, a favorite magazine, or a street sign. 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.

 

Author 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). 

 

What You’ll Learn

 

  • Understand AI’s role and how devices and applications use sophisticated algorithms to improve people’s lives and business tasks.
  • Analyze images for Optical Character Recognition to detect written words and sentences
  • Think about the next-generation applications in relation to your customers’ needs
  • Get up-to-speed on the latest version of the Computer Vision service, which now comes through Azure
  • Set up an Azure subscription in order to access the Cognitive Services within the portal

 

After 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. 

 

Who This Book Is For
Developers just getting familiar with artificial intelligence. A minimal knowledge of C# is required.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

深入探索微軟的計算機視覺 API,透過實例驅動的情境學習!

想像一個應用程式,可以向視覺障礙者描述周圍的物體,或者閱讀星期日報紙、喜愛的雜誌或路牌。或者一個能夠在無人控制的區域內監控發生的事情,並根據解讀實時攝像頭偵測到的事件做出決策的應用程式。本書教導開發人員使用微軟的計算機視覺 API,這是一個能夠理解和解釋任何圖像內容的服務。

作者 Del Sole 首先提供了一個簡明扼要的概述,介紹了這項服務的必要知識。然後,您將通過實際示範學習,展示了如何在不同平台上重複使用基本的 C# 代碼示例。然後,您將在兩種不同的應用程式中引導使用服務的兩種不同方式:通過調用 REST 服務以獲取 JSON 數據的常見方式,以及通過微軟正在建立的簡化工作的 .NET 函式庫(使用 Xamarin)。

您將學到什麼:

- 了解人工智慧的角色,以及設備和應用程式如何使用複雜的算法來改善人們的生活和業務任務。
- 分析圖像以進行光學字符識別,檢測書寫的單詞和句子。
- 根據客戶需求思考下一代應用程式。
- 熟悉最新版本的計算機視覺服務,該服務現在通過 Azure 提供。
- 設置 Azure 訂閱以便在門戶中訪問認知服務。

閱讀完本書後,您將能夠開始使用微軟的人工智慧服務,為您的公司或客戶建立強大的新應用程式。

本書適合對人工智慧剛開始有所了解的開發人員。需要有基本的 C# 知識。
