In a previous post at Cloudinary, I described three techniques to reduce file … Continue reading Deep Dive: Three Tips for Faster, Easier Video Delivery
In Part 1 of this series, I used Machine learning and AI to identify and crop images quickly. In Part 2, I build a specialized machine learning model that identified objects for my unique purpose. In this post, I'm going to use all of these tools to build an automatic image processing system that manipulates … Continue reading Image Processing Shortcuts using AI and ML Part 3: Putting it all Together
In my previous post on image processing shortcuts, I showed how object detection libraries can be utilised to detect objects inside images. But how are these libraries trained to identify objects? In this post, I'll walk through the steps to train an image detection model for specific objects. Why do models need to be trained? … Continue reading Image Processing Shortcuts using AI and ML: Part 2
