A cloud pipeline assembles facial landmarks from Azure Cognitive Services, aligns faces with OpenCV and blends about 13 images via Python to produce an averaged “cognitive portrait.” Images and results live in blob storage; processing runs in Azure Functions triggered by HTTP, with a 20-per-minute trial cap (20 per minute). A UWP kiosk and a Bot Framework/Telegram bot call the same backend; the exhibit runs in a museum and a public web/Telegram endpoint, producing live blended portraits successfully.
