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.

Training a computer vision model is one component of a complex and iterative undertaking, which can often seem daunting. At alwaysAI we want to make the process simple and approachable. To get you started, we have compiled a general overview of the training process of Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) for use in computer vision applications. We will focus on supervised learning in this overview, which uses labeled training data to teach the model what the desired output is. This article provides...

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.

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...

In this tutorial, we will show you the steps needed to change the computer vision model in the alwaysAI application. First, set up your development computer and edge device (if you're using one). You should also have an app running like this object detector starter app. You can see more about setting up projects and the alwaysAI workflow here. Finally, you should have a Terminal window open.
If you don't have an alwaysAI account yet, you can sign-up here.
