At alwaysAI, we want you to create unique and powerful models that help accomplish your computer vision goals. With the Model Training Toolkit you can create a custom object detection model with little experience and no coding. This video outlines the end-to-end process of doing exactly that - and in a way that is easy to follow. It is meant to be interactive, so you can pause it after each step to take action and then come back. 

In this guide, we’ll be focusing on bird classification. What is image classification? It is a technique used in computer vision to identify and categorize the main content in a photo or video.

The ability to recognize human activity with computer vision allows us to create applications that can interact with and respond to an user in real time. For instance, we can make an application that gives feedback to a user in the moment so that they can learn how to recreate the perfect golf swing, or that sends an immediate alert for help when someone has fallen, or that generates an immersive augmented reality experience based on the user's position.

The Jetson Nano is a powerful compactly-packaged AI accelerator that allows you to run intensive models (such as the ones typically used for semantic segmentation and pose estimation) with shorter inference time, while meeting key performance requirements. The Jetson Nano also allows you to speed up lighter models, like those used for object detection, to the tune of 10-25 fps.

With the new alwaysAI model catalog, you can now search for a computer vision model by specific criteria; for instance, you can search by label to ensure that the model includes a label for the type of entity that your application needs to be able to recognize. You can also search for a model that is compatible with the kind of service that you want your application to provide (object detection, image classification, or pose estimation), and then further refine your search with filters for...

The process of developing computer vision applications has been greatly simplified by alwaysAI, which includes native support for Windows, Mac and Linux, and enables developers to get started prototyping applications right away with very little setup required.
