Summary


In this chapter, we covered Video Indexer. We started with a general overview, learning what Video Indexer is. We then learned how to analyze videos in the Video Indexer web application. We ended the chapter by looking at how to sign up for the REST API, allowing us to utilize the power of Video Indexer in our own applications.

In the next chapter, we will move away from the vision APIs and into the first language API. You will learn how to configure the API to understand intent in sentences, using the power of LUIS.
