Custom Vision
FreemiumMicrosoft service for training custom image recognition models
What is Custom Vision?
Custom Vision is a Microsoft Azure service that lets developers train their own image classification and object detection models from a small set of labeled examples. Trained models are called through a REST API.
You upload images, tag them yourself or use the tool's suggestions to label untagged ones, and train a model on the concepts you care about. The web portal shows performance so you can evaluate and retrain before putting the model to use.
Custom Vision is part of Azure AI services, so it needs an Azure subscription and is billed through Azure. Predictions are made with simple REST calls, which makes it easy to add image tagging to an existing app.
