Classification

Classification models predict frame-level classifications in a project’s Ontology. Rather than labeling objects within the data, classification models learn to characterize the frame as a whole. For example, a classification model trained to distinguish night from day can be used to determine whether a given image was taken during the day, or at night.

​

Framework and models

The FastAI framework is available for classification models, and it supports a wide range of architectures.

These include various sizes of ResNet and VGG.

Working with classification models

Once a model has been attached to a project it can be used to perform the functions it has been trained on. Inside the label editor, click the Automated labeling button highlighted in the image below.

To run inference with a classification model, open the ‘Classification’ section.

• Select the model you would like to run. You will be able to choose from a list of models previously attached to the project.

• Specify the Classification range to set the range of frames over which the model is run.

• Set the Confidence. A value ranging from 0 to 1 that represents how confident the model has to be in order for a particular data point to be included in its output. Read more about confidence values here.

Advanced settings

• Choose whether the model should run on a GPU or CPU (The choice may be limited by the execution environment). CPUs are designed to handle a wide-range of tasks quickly, but are limited in how many tasks can run at the same time. GPUs are designed to quickly render high-resolution images and video concurrently.
