+# Lab : Azure IoT Edge.
+
+## Overview
+This project is an example of the deployment of an Edge application that recognises digits (from 0 to 9) in images from a camera. If the Edge application does not recognise the digit, it sends the associated image to an S3 object storage. These images can be used later to improve the digit recognition module.
