Image Classifier

Welcome:

Hello learner,
Welcome to this incredible and interactive Machine Learning environment.
Here, you will have the chance to experiment with a system commonly known as the Image Classifier.
I know, I know, tutorials are boring and you probably just want to get on with the actual system.
Just bear with me for a very quick introduction on how you can operate the Image Classifier plugin; I promise it will not take long !

The Image Classifier:

This Machine Learning plugin uses image classification to recognise and classify images with similar properties together.
Practical uses of image classification include Image and Face Recognition on Social Networks, Automated Image Organization from Cloud Apps, Authentication and even Players Recognition in Gaming.

There are two different modes that you can try here:

• Image Classification from your Camera Device
• Image Classification from File Upload

Toggle the checkbox located at the top of the plugin window to switch between the two different modes:

Image Classifier: Video

The video mode allows you to train the system by adding screenshots directly from your device camera to a specific class. You can then use the camera to predict in real time which class is the closest to the current video frame.

Image Classifier: From File

The file upload mode allows you to train the system by uploading image files from your device to a specific class. You can then upload another image file to predict which class is the closest to the upload.

The default mode of the Image Classifier plugin allows you to upload image files from your device and assign them to a specific class. You can then upload another image file and the system will predict to witch class it should belong to.

Training the System:

You can add images to a specific class.
Use the upload button to do so:

The number of images uploaded per each class, together with a thumbnail grid preview of the files uploaded, will appear next to each class. There are a total of three classes where you can add files to: Class 1 , Class 2 and Class3 placed from top to bottom on the right hand side of the plugin view, respectively. You can customise and change each class name by simply clicking on the respective class name text field and type the new class name:

Image Prediction:

Upload the image that you want the system to predict using
the classify upload button situated at the bottom of the plugin view:

As soon as you upload the image to be classified, the system will predict to which class it should belong to and will output a text message with the predicted class number:

Reset:

Use the reset button on the top right of the plugin view to clean your classes and start fresh from the beginning:

The Device Camera mode of the Image Classifier plugin allows you to take screenshot images directly from your camera device and assign them to a specific class. You can then use the camera to predict in real time which class is the closest to the current video frame.

Camera Permission:

In order to use your camera device, you first need to accept the browser permission policy. Click allow when the permission pop-up shows up:

At this point, the video will start and you should see yourself inside the camera plugin drawing.

Training the System:

You can add video frame images to a specific class.
Use the add class button to do so:

The number of images uploaded per each class, together with a thumbnail grid preview of the files uploaded, will appear next to each class. There are a total of three classes where you can add files to: Class 1 , Class 2 and Class3 placed from top to bottom on the right hand side of the plugin view, respectively. You can customise and change each class name by simply clicking on the respective class name text field and type the new class name:

Video Frame Image Prediction:

Toggle the the classify button at the bottom of the plugin view to begin the classification:

As soon as you toggle the classify button, the system will check the current video frame and predict to which class it should belong to.
The system will then output a text message with the predicted class number:
