What is Custom Vision?
Custom Vision is a service that simplifies visual intelligence, enabling users to easily customize cutting-edge computer vision models tailored to their unique use cases. By providing just a small number of labeled image examples, Custom Vision can automatically handle the complex tasks of model building. Users can upload their own annotated images or quickly label unlabeled images using the platform; train models on annotated images to recognize concepts of interest; and ultimately perform rapid label prediction on new images through simple REST API calls.
