You've built your first model and plan to get it deployed to production. Now what?
Like any software, the computer vision model needs to be continuously improved for

So you're working on building a machine learning model, and you have hit the realization that you will need to annotate a lot of data to build a performant model. In the machine learning meta today, you will be bombarded with services offering to fully outsource your labeling woes.
When we are teaching a machine learning model to recognize items of interest, we often take a laser focus towards gathering a dataset that is representative of the task we want our algorithm to master.
Rabbits were eating all of my vegetables. I decided to take a stand and implement a computer vision enabled system to automatically spook them away from my garden.
Building & deploying a privacy-first model to the edge with Roboflow in 60 days
The COVID-19 pandemic changed how and where we work. Fortunately, in some countries, the pandemic appears
If you’ve ever tried to explain how computer vision works to your friends,
family or colleagues, you probably know that it can be hard to do. This is
especially
The YOLO family recently got a new champion - YOLOR: You Only Learn One Representation. In this post, we will walk through how you can train YOLOR to recognize object detection data for your custom use case.
Creating a computer vision model, at the outset, seems like a pretty involved
task. Even if you’re using an end-to-end solution
[https://blog.roboflow.com/what-does-end-to-end-really-mean/] like Roboflow, the
The ImageNet dataset is long-standing landmark in computer vision.
The impact ImageNet has had on computer vision research is driven by the
dataset's size and semantic diversity.
Let&
You've probably heard of TensorFlow and PyTorch, and maybe you've even heard of MXNet - but there is a new kid on the block of machine learning frameworks - Google's JAX.
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

Roboflow is a tool for building robust machine learning operations pipelines for
computer vision: from collecting and organizing images, annotating, training,
deploying, and creating active learning [https://blog.roboflow.com/
YOLO (You Only Look Once) is a family of computer vision models that has gained significant fanfare since Joseph Redmon, Santosh Divvala, Ross Girshick, and Ali Farhadi introduced the novel
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

that leverages knowledge of the English language
In this post, we’ll walk you through creating a license plate detection and OCR model using Roboflow that you can programmatically use for your own projects.
Deploying computer vision models to the edge is critical to unlocking new use
cases like in places with limited internet connectivity or where minimal latency
is essential. That might be
When creating computer vision models, data augmentation can improve model performance with an existing image dataset. Image augmentation increases the size and variability of a dataset, thereby improving model generalizability.
Using transfer learning
[https://blog.roboflow.com/a-primer-on-transfer-learning/] to initialize your
computer vision model from pre-trained weights rather than starting from scratch
(initializing randomly) has been shown to increase performance
A question we frequently receive at Roboflow is, "What is the best class for
learning computer vision?"
Like most questions, the answer does depend on your background and
IBM recently announced they are shutting down IBM Visual Inspection, their
product for creating custom computer vision models for classification and object
detection. No new instances can be created and
