Image classification is used to assign a label to an entire image. It is best suited for situations where only one object of interest determines the overall understanding of the image.
It can be used for simple applications such as the distinction between apples or bananas, screw or nail. However, more complex type distinctions such as: Granny Smith or Golden Delicious, thread or allen screw, defect or functional can also be implemented. The number of types is basically unlimited, but the recognition rate depends not only on the algorithm used, but also very much on the number and quality of the training data.
There are many ways to digitize objects. The spectrum ranges from simple smartphones images to high-tech cameras. In some cases you can also access finished training data. For small and shiny objects Entrich Technologies has specially developed the Lightbox Mini This enables you to digitize and classify objects quickly and easily.
