Integrating Tensor flow API into ASP.net Web applications for Image detection

Introduction

Tensor flow provides advanced Machine Learning API. For the example here we will provide a solution for the Image recognition. The same can be applied to other use cases such as Text recognition or any other data set that needs to solve the problems of AI and Machine Learning such as:
  1. Predictive Analytics
  2. Cognitive Processes and its Automation e.g. NLP
  3. Virtual Agents (Bot’s)
  4. Camera Image detection and processing e.g. Industrial Robotics and Drones
  5. Text Knowledge Analytics

Application Development Steps

In the first step we create an ASP.NET application for connecting the camera feed or input data.
In the next step Install Tensor flow as per instructions on the website –> Click here
To begin using Tensor flow we need to decide on the model to use for processing input data – There is an option to use either ready-made models or develop on own depending on the problem at hand. For simplicity we will use ready-made model called a deep convolutional neural network.  It can achieve reasonable performance on hard visual recognition tasks.
These model repo’s can be downloaded from the TensorFlow models repo from GitHub.
The steps for loading the model are as shown below:
  1. Load the data that is already trained from source URL
  2. Converts integer node ID’s to human readable labels
  3. Loads a human readable English name for each softmax node
  4. Loads mapping from string UID to human-readable string
  5. Loads mapping from string UID to integer node ID
  6. Loads the final mapping of integer node ID to human-readable string
  7. Creates a graph
  8. Runs inference on an image by specifying the image file
  9. Returns the model probabilities to Application
  10. Application displays the inference. 

Results

The result of the application is as shown below with ASP Web App user interface screenshots:



Conclusion
More advanced web applications with different models can be used from Tensor Flow depending on the use case and integrated into the web application as per the requirements.

Machine Learning with ML.NET 1.0

As a person coming from .NET world, it was quite hard to get into  machine learning  right away. One of the main reasons was the fact that I couldn’t start Visual Studio and  try out  these new things in the technologies I am proficient with. I had to solve another obstacle and learn other  programming languages  more fitting for the job like Python and R. You can imagine my happiness when more than a year ago,  Microsoft  announced that as a part of  .NET Core 3 , a new feature will be available –  ML.NET . In fact it made me so happy that this is the third time I write similar  guide . Basically, I wrote one when ML.NET was a  version 0.2  and one when it was  version 0.10 . Both times, guys from Microsoft decided to modify the  API  and make my articles obsolete. That is why I have to do it once again. But hey, third time is the charm, so hopefully I will not have to do this again until ML.N...

Using Tensorflow Object Detection API to build a Toy detector

Here I extend the API to train on a new object that is not part of the COCO dataset. In this case I chose a toy that was lying around. See gif below. So far, I have been impressed by the performance of the API. The steps highlighted here can be extended to any single or multiple object detector that you want to build. Tensorflow Toy Detector~ You can find the code on my  Github  repo Collecting data The first step is collecting images for your project. You could download them from google ensuring you have a wide variation in angles, brightness, scale etc. In my case I created a video of the little aeroplane toy and used  Opencv  to extract images from the video. This saved me a lot of time. I ensured that images were taken from multiple angles. You can also randomly change brightness for some of the images so that the detector can work under different conditions of lightning. Overall 100–150 pics will suffice. See some sample images below: ...
