Upload Images

After you create a project, upload images to it. LandingLens will train a model based on the images you upload and label.

Supported Files Types

• BMP
• JPEG
• PNG (recommended)
• Pascal VOC: Available only for Object Detection projects. Pascal VOC is a file type for images labeled in LandingLens or an external application. This file format includes the label details and tells the platform where a label is on the associated image.

Image Size

You can upload images of any size; we don't limit images to a maximum file size or maximum dimensions.

However, images are resized during model training.

Number of Images in a Project

The number of images you can upload to a project depends on the project type:

• Object Detection and Classification: You can upload any number of images to a project.
• Segmentation: You can upload up to 10,000 images to a project.
• Visual Prompting: You can upload up to 20 images to a project. For more information, go to Visual Prompting.

Number of Images Required for a Project

You must upload and label at least 10 images before training a model.

Since every project is different, there is no recommended number of images for the project. The optimal number of images for your project generally depends on these factors:

• How elaborate the object to identify is
• How many types of objects there are
• How the object looks

For example, a phone with a cracked screen would require fewer images than a printed circuit board with several intricate parts.

Upload Options

LandingLens offers the following methods for uploading images to your project. Click the hyperlink for each method to learn more.

• Drag and drop: Select the files or folders you want to upload, and drag and drop them into an Upload pop-up window or directly into the project.
• Upload images from a directory: Some Upload pop-up windows offer the option to select files from a directory. Select the files or folders you want to upload and click Open.
• Upload sample images: If you haven't added any images to a project, you have the option to upload a sample dataset. To add the sample images, click Load Sample Data and select a dataset. The available datasets are based on the project type.
• Take photos with your webcam: Click the Webcam option and take photos with your computer webcam.
• Upload labeled images to Object Detection projects: Upload images in the Pascal VOC file format.
• Upload labeled images to Segmentation projects: Upload images with Segmentation masks. 

Upload Images to a New Project vs. a Project that Already Has Images

If you haven't uploaded images to a project yet, all of the upload options appear directly on the project page.

Upload Options for Projects that Don't Have Images Yet

After you've uploaded images to a project, click the Upload icon to see the upload options. Or, you can drag and drop images directly into the project page.
