Microsoft Custom Vision: Retrain Model in C#

In the previous post, we went over how to use the Custom Vision Training and Prediction SDKs to programmatically predict image URLs and image files. In this post, we’re going to use those same SDKs to show how to programmatically upload more training images to the service and train a new model with those new…

Microsoft Custom Vision: Creating an Image Classification Model

Creating a model to classify images would usually involve creating your own deep learning model from scratch. This includes having a very large and diverse set of training images with a portion of them set aside as a test set, a good convolutional neural network as the model, and a GPU enabled machine to do…

Microsoft Custom Vision: Predict Images with C#

In the previous post, we showed how to train an image classification model using the Microsoft Custom Vision service as well as to perform a quick test on a new image. However, what if you want to integrate this model into one of your applications that is using C#? Whether it’s an app that runs…
