Classification

Classification is used when you need to predict the classes of objects in an image. For example, let's say you work for a hardware organization that manufactures six-tooth washers and eight-tooth washers. You want LandingLens to be able to identify each type of washer so you can ensure the right ones get packaged. With the Classification project type, you can make that distinction.

When you upload images to a Classification project, you are prompted to choose one of these methods for uploading and labeling images:

• Unclassified Images: Label the images after you upload them, just as you would for other projects.
• Classified Images: Organize images by Class in separate folders before you upload them. When you upload folders, the images will automatically be classified based on the titles of your folders.

Select Your Labeling Method at Upload in Classification Projects

Unclassified Images

Choose Unclassified Images if you want to use a labeling tool to classify images after upload.

To classify images after upload:

1. Create Classes for your images.
2. In the Build tab, select the image's class from the Select Class drop-down menu.
   Select the Class in the Build Tab

Classified Images

Choose Classified Images if you want to organize images by Class in separate folders before you upload. When you upload folders, the images will automatically be classified based on the titles of your folders.

For example, let’s say you want to distinguish six-tooth washers from eight-tooth washers. You can create two folders called Six-Tooth Washer and Eight-Tooth Washer.

Create Separate Folders for Each Class on Your Desktop

When you upload these folders, the images from each folder will automatically be classified based on the titles of the folders.
