Notably, the feature was already available in the desktop version of the browser, but this update is introducing it to the mobile version as well.

After ing the image, Aria will be able to process it via computer vision and answer queries about it. For instance, s can an image of a windmill and prompt the AI to tell about it.
Opera highlighted that s can up to three images at the same time, and get responses on it. The queries are only accepted in text format. Notably, the Image Understanding feature can only answer questions based on whatever is visible in the image. However, s can ask follow-up questions where Aria will find answers from the web.
The computer vision capabilities can also be used to process text written in an image. For instance, Aria can process a mathematical problem illustrated in an image and provide the solution for it. s can also ask Aria to generate an image based on the image input.
The feature is part of the company's AI Feature Drop programme. Opera adds new experimental features on a biweekly basis. Image Understanding is currently available in the Opera Developer build, and is expected to be rolled out to the general s of Opera in the future.
