Computer vision enables software systems to perceive the world visually through cameras, images, and video. With Azure Cognitive Services, it's easy to add computer vision capabilities to your apps. This week we'll use computer vision examples to illustrate foundational concepts of building AI-powered applications on Azure – whether you want to leverage APIs and SDKs or create an app without writing a single line of code. You'll also get a chance to practice using Custom Vision to build an object detection model with a step by step tutorial.

We will cover:
• Explore computer vision
• Custom vision - Build an object detector.
• Learn foundation concepts of Azure Cognitive services via examples.
