Extract insights from visual data on Azure
Microsoft Learn
Last updated March 24, 2026
A path on building applications that interpret images and video using a mix of computer vision, multimodal generative AI, and Azure's Content Understanding service. It covers vision-enabled chat apps that respond to images, generating original images and videos from text prompts, and analyzing images and multimodal content with Content Understanding. Later modules extract structured data from forms and documents with Document Intelligence and build a knowledge-mining solution with Azure AI Search, supporting scenarios such as visual search, classification, and digital asset management.
