Choosing the Right Problem Statement

Creating a computer vision model, at the outset, seems like a pretty involved task. Even if you’re using an end-to-end solution like Roboflow, the process will always require you to source and aggregate starting data (images), generate versions of each dataset, train different variations of your model and then

For the People, By the People

Computer vision, on the whole, is an ambitious undertaking. We are developing technology that can see the world as we see it - to recognize simple objects like trees and croissants, and more complex occurrences like oil and methane leaks. Today, models can even read license plates and receipts. Computer

What Does "End to End" Really Mean?

Developing, deploying and optimizing computer vision models used to be a cumbersome, painful process. With Roboflow, we sought to democratize this technology, which (first and foremost) meant knocking down the barriers that we perceived were preventing everyday people from exploring and implementing computer vision in their work and daily lives.

Why Roboflow Train?

If deployment is the magic of computer vision, then the act of training a model is the proverbial wave of that wand. Training a computer vision model is the process by which a computer learns to detect specific objects within images - put simply (and more elegantly), it’s how
