Developed with strict ethical standards and guidance on how to implement responsibly, this feature can be applied to help organizations reopen by creating in-room layouts that support social distancing and other health-compliance measures. Within the Vision category, Spatial Analysis, a feature of Computer Vision, helps organizations maximize the value of their physical spaces by understanding people’s movements and presence in near-real time to create apps that can count people in a room, measure distances between customers, aggregate footfall in a store, understand dwell time in front of a retail display, and determine wait times in queues.
In addition, Anomaly Detector, now generally available, helps businesses apply advanced anomaly detection to production-level deployments. Built on Anomaly Detector, part of Azure Cognitive Services, Metrics Advisor monitors the performance of your organization’s growth engines, from sales revenue to manufacturing operations, through a powerful combination of monitoring in near-real time, adapting models to your scenario, offering granular analysis with diagnostics, and alerting. Within the Decision category, Metrics Advisor Preview is a new service that proactively monitors metrics and diagnoses issues.
