FAQ

What is Azure Custom Vision?
Azure Custom Vision is a cloud-based AI service that enables you to build, train, and deploy custom image classification and object detection models using your own labeled images.
How do I get started with Azure Custom Vision?
Sign up for an Azure account, create a Custom Vision resource, then use the Custom Vision portal or API to upload and tag images, train a model, and test it.
Can I use my trained model offline without internet?
Yes, Custom Vision allows you to export trained models to formats like TensorFlow, CoreML, ONNX, and Docker containers for offline or on-device inference.
What types of models can I build with Custom Vision?
You can build both image classification models (single-label or multi-label) and object detection models that locate and identify objects within images.
