This repo contains the Windows client library & sample for the Microsoft Computer Vision API, an offering within Microsoft Cognitive Services, formerly known as Project Oxford.
The client library is a thin C# client wrapper for the Computer Vision API.
The easiest way to use this client library is to get microsoft.projectoxford.vision package from nuget. Go to Vision API Package in nuget for more details.
This sample is a Windows WPF application to demonstrate the use of the Computer Vision API.
