Food Image Classification - Build An Image Classifier with IBM Watson - Part 6

Key Takeaways

so welcome to step 6 of our mini-series on building your own image recognition classifier so what we've done in the last step is gone through some general image recognition but now what we can do is start using some of the custom classifiers that IBM's got built in to the visual recognition service now this is actually a reasonably easy step to step over in sight using some of these custom classifiers so and one of the ones that we're going to use is the food classifier so the food classifier is a more specific classifier that's already built within the visual recognition service and allow them I guess delve into more detailed classifications of food so let's try this yet so so before we were using an image of a computer on our image class by 7 let's try an image of an orange for example and let's grab yeah this one should do let's check it's fine again yeah that should be fine so again to make sure it's still a JPEG file and what we'll do now is we'll replace this URL with our URL of our orange and now we're going to add in an extra parameter into this classifier method so we're still classifying at the moment what we're going to do now is we're going to extend or delve into some of the more custom classifiers that IBM's got there and to do this all we need to do is type in classifier always type this wrong and IDs equals food so now this will allow us to tap into that so let's try this and we should actually see here if everything's run successfully this classifier D translates or changes to food so let's try running that cell again so it looks like it's run successfully and you can see that now that it's actually picked up the food classifier and again it's classified it as an orange pretty successfully now this might seem like a bit of a trivial step but it's actually pretty important because in the next video we're actually going to go through how to create your own custom classifications and you'll see there that all the customer classifications that the we generate going to show up as classifier IDs
