According to Gartner, by 2020, 85% of customer interactions in the retail industry will be managed by AI.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last year, I have written post about the OCR module of Einstein Vision<\/strong>, but did you know that other modules exist? Such as Image Classification<\/strong> et Object Detection<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this blog post, I will talk about Einstein Vision Image Classification module. But wait, what is image classification, How does it works, where can I use it and how to implement it? I shall try to answer each one of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WHAT IS IMAGE CLASSIFICATION?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Image classification in computer vision refers to a process that can classify an image according to its visual content. In Einstein Vision, you will be the one who will feed the images and for each image, you will also provide a label. It will process the images and try to identify one type of object in each image and assign the label. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

HOW DOES IT WORKS?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For you to be able to use a Image Classification software (an AI is used), you will need a dataset. This is where you will gather several photos of an object and feed the software by telling it what is in the photo using a label. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you have sufficient photos and labels in your dataset, you just have to train it (don’t worry, the software will perform this for you). The output is called a model<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is against the model that prediction of an image is performed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

WHERE CAN IT BE USED?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

An example would be at an automatic Grocery store where user displays the product in front of a camera at checkout. The camera takes a picture of the product and then using Image classification software, it looks up from its trained dataset (model) to predict the product shown and retrieved relevant information such as label and price. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

HOW TO IMPLEMENT EV IMAGE CLASSIFICATION?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To implement this module, you have several options: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
