Image Analysis in ASP.NET Core 5.0 using Azure Cognitive Service
Azure’s computer vision services give wide range of options to do image analysis. These AI services enable to discover the content and analyze images and videos in real time. Using computer vision which is a part of azure cognitive services, we can do image processing to label content with objects, moderate content, identify objects in image, extract text, generate details descriptions of the image, orientations, people movements and so on.

Including AI feature in any application has become quite simple using azure cognitive services without having much knowledge of AI or machine learning. In this article, I have explained about image analysis with it feature and computer vision service. Furthermore, I have portrayed how to create a cognitive service, computer vision from the azure portal. Additionally, I have implemented the service in asp.net core 5.0 using visual studio with examples. Finally, I have done some image analysis and explored the analysis results.
