Choose the mode that best fits your use case. You can choose one of the following image input sources: - Live video by the built-in camera - Still image by the built-in camera - Photo Library - Files (iCloud, Google Drive, Dropbox, etc.) For live video inputs, continuous inference is performed on the camera feed.
