Use Azure Custom Vision to Repurpose the Lunar Rover

Learn how to build an image classifier using Azure Custom Vision to identify objects in images, inspired by the Lunar Rover from the Netflix Original "Over the Moon". Follow along as Dr. G demonstrates how to create and train an AI model to detect a specific character (Bungee) in images. Explore the process of setting up an Azure Custom Vision resource, uploading and tagging images, training the AI model, and testing its performance. Discover best practices for image selection, the importance of tagging both positive and negative examples, and how to refine your model for better accuracy. No coding experience required, making this tutorial accessible for beginners interested in AI and image recognition technology.
