Announcing Image Classification Support, End to End

Roboflow has announced comprehensive support for image classification, enabling users to manage the entire process from image collection and annotation to custom training and deployment. Image classification involves assigning images to predefined classes, which can be binary or multi-class, and differs from object detection by not localizing objects within images. The platform simplifies creating an image classifier by providing tools for dataset gathering, labeling, preprocessing, and augmentation, which enhance data variety and semantic richness. Users can train classification models with a single click, leveraging Roboflow's servers to produce state-of-the-art models, and upon completion, receive validation set accuracy and deployment links. The deployment allows models to be integrated into applications via a web-hosted API, offering low-latency predictions. This end-to-end support aims to facilitate the fine-tuning of computer vision models to specific domains and datasets.
