1---2name: azure-ai-vision3description: Azure AI Vision Skill4---5# Azure AI Vision Skill67This skill provides expert guidance for Azure AI Vision. Covers decision making, limits & quotas, configuration, integrations & coding patterns, and deployment. It combines local quick-reference content with remote documentation fetching capabilities.89## How to Use This Skill1011> **IMPORTANT for Agent**: Use the **Category Index** below to locate relevant sections. For categories with line ranges (e.g., `L35-L120`), use `read_file` with the specified lines. For categories with file links (e.g., `[security.md](security.md)`), use `read_file` on the linked reference file1213> **IMPORTANT for Agent**: If `metadata.generated_at` is more than 3 months old, suggest the user pull the latest version from the repository. If `mcp_microsoftdocs` tools are not available, suggest the user install it: [Installation Guide](https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/mcp/blob/main/README.md)1415This skill requires **network access** to fetch documentation content:16- **Preferred**: Use `mcp_microsoftdocs:microsoft_docs_fetch` with query string `from=learn-agent-skill`. Returns Markdown.17- **Fallback**: Use `fetch_webpage` with query string `from=learn-agent-skill&accept=text/markdown`. Returns Markdown.1819## Category Index2021| Category | Lines | Description |22|----------|-------|-------------|23| Decision Making | L33-L39 | Guides for planning and executing migrations and upgrades between Azure Vision Image Analysis and Read OCR versions/containers, including breaking changes and app update steps. |24| Limits & Quotas | L40-L51 | Limits, thresholds, and taxonomies for Image Analysis: category lists, adult content scores, object/people detection constraints, smart-crop behavior, and OCR language support. |25| Configuration | L52-L57 | Configuring Vision Read OCR containers and setting up Azure Blob Storage access for image retrieval, including environment settings, networking, and storage connection details. |26| Integrations & Coding Patterns | L58-L68 | How to call and configure Azure Vision/Read APIs and SDKs for OCR, embeddings, thumbnails, background removal, domain models, and live video frame analysis. |27| Deployment | L69-L72 | Installing, configuring, and running the Azure AI Vision Read OCR container locally or on-premises, including prerequisites, deployment steps, and runtime settings. |2829### Decision Making30| Topic | URL |31|-------|-----|32| Plan migration from Azure Vision Image Analysis | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/ai-services/computer-vision/migration-options |33| Migrate to Azure Vision Read OCR container v3.x | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/ai-services/computer-vision/read-container-migration-guide |34| Upgrade applications from Read v2.x to v3.0 | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/ai-services/computer-vision/upgrade-api-versions |3536### Limits & Quotas37| Topic | URL |38|-------|-----|39| Reference taxonomy categories for Azure Vision | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/ai-services/computer-vision/category-taxonomy |40| Understand Image Analysis 3.2 categorization taxonomy limits | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/ai-services/computer-vision/concept-categorizing-images |41| Interpret adult content detection scores and thresholds | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/ai-services/computer-vision/concept-detecting-adult-content |42| Use smart-cropped thumbnails with Image Analysis 4.0 | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/ai-services/computer-vision/concept-generate-thumbnails-40 |43| Use object detection and understand feature limits | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/ai-services/computer-vision/concept-object-detection |44| Understand Image Analysis 4.0 object detection limits | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/ai-services/computer-vision/concept-object-detection-40 |45| Use people detection and understand its limits | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/ai-services/computer-vision/concept-people-detection |46| Check supported languages for Azure Vision OCR | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/ai-services/computer-vision/language-support |4748### Configuration49| Topic | URL |50|-------|-----|51| Configure Azure Vision Read OCR containers | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/ai-services/computer-vision/computer-vision-resource-container-config |52| Configure Azure Blob Storage for Vision image retrieval | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/ai-services/computer-vision/how-to/blob-storage-search |5354### Integrations & Coding Patterns55| Topic | URL |56|-------|-----|57| Call domain-specific models with Azure Vision | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/ai-services/computer-vision/concept-detecting-domain-content |58| Analyze live video frames with Azure Vision API | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/ai-services/computer-vision/how-to/analyze-video |59| Call and configure Image Analysis 3.2 API | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/ai-services/computer-vision/how-to/call-analyze-image |60| Call and configure Image Analysis 4.0 API | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/ai-services/computer-vision/how-to/call-analyze-image-40 |61| Call and configure Azure Vision Read v3.2 API | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/ai-services/computer-vision/how-to/call-read-api |62| Use multimodal embeddings for image retrieval | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/ai-services/computer-vision/how-to/image-retrieval |63| Use OCR client libraries for text extraction | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/ai-services/computer-vision/quickstarts-sdk/client-library |6465### Deployment66| Topic | URL |67|-------|-----|68| Install and run Azure Vision Read OCR container | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/ai-services/computer-vision/computer-vision-how-to-install-containers |
