Computer Vision in Foundry

Foundry Tools (formerly Azure Cognitive Services) provide pre-built AI capabilities that you can plug into your applications via APIs.

Vision Capabilities

FeatureWhat It DoesUse Case
Image Analysis 4.0Detect objects, read text (OCR), generate captionsProduct cataloging, accessibility
Custom VisionTrain custom image classifiersDefect detection, brand recognition
Face APIDetect and verify facesIdentity verification (with compliance)
Video AnalysisExtract insights from video contentContent moderation, scene detection

Image Analysis Quick Start

from azure.ai.vision.imageanalysis import ImageAnalysisClient
from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential

client = ImageAnalysisClient(
    endpoint="<your-foundry-endpoint>",
    credential=DefaultAzureCredential()
)

result = client.analyze(
    image_url="https://example.com/photo.jpg",
    visual_features=["CAPTION", "OBJECTS", "READ"]
)
print(result.caption.text)  # "A dog playing in a park"
💡 Key Insight: Vision APIs can be used as tools for AI agents. An agent can call the Vision API to understand images uploaded by users, enabling multimodal workflows within Foundry.
