Photo Classifier uses state of the art Machine Learning models that use Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) to classify photos taken with your camera or from your library. The classification includes both a descriptive label of the scene, as well as the probability associated with the label. Six models have been included, and the app provides the output from each of the models in a fraction of a second each. You can see more detail on the top five predictions for each model, along with the probability of each prediction. This is a simple but very powerful tool that demonstrates how far artificial intelligence and machine learning has come, especially the power of deep neural networks and specifically, convolutional neural networks.These models are all freely available from the internet under the licenses provided by the links below.
