A python library built to empower developers to build applications and systems with self-contained Deep Learning and Computer Vision capabilities using simple
and few lines of code.
An DeepQuest AI project https://deepquestai.com . Developed and Maintained by Moses Olafenwa and John Olafenwa, brothers, creators of TorchFusion, Authors of Introduction to Deep Computer Vision and creators of DeepStack AI Server.
Built with simplicity in mind, ImageAI
supports a list of state-of-the-art Machine Learning algorithms for image prediction, custom image prediction, object detection, video detection, video object tracking
and image predictions trainings. ImageAI currently supports image prediction and training using 4 different Machine Learning algorithms
trained on the ImageNet-1000 dataset. ImageAI also supports object detection, video detection and object tracking using RetinaNet, YOLOv3 and TinyYOLOv3 trained on COCO dataset. Finally, ImageAI allows you to train custom models for your peforming recognition of new objects.
Eventually, ImageAI will provide support for a wider
and more specialized aspects of Computer Vision including and not limited to image
recognition in special environments and special fields.
New Release : ImageAI 2.0.3
What's new:
- Options to set video detection timeout in seconds
- Options to save trained custom model in full
- Support for running custom prediction with fully saved model without specifying network type
- Support for running custom prediction with any fully saved Keras model
- Support for converting custom trained models to Tensorflow (.pb) format
- Support for continuous training from previously saved custom model
- Support for transfer learning from pre-trained models for small datasets
- Only models with increased accuracy will be saved during training
- Support for loading and prediction with multiple custom models
- Support for exporting models to DeepStack format

ImageAI uses the Tensorflow backbone for it's Computer Vision operations. Tensorflow supports both CPUs and GPUs ( Specifically NVIDIA GPUs. You can get one for your PC or get a PC that has one) for machine learning and artificial intelligence algorithms' implementations. To use Tensorflow that supports the use of GPUs, follow the link below :
FOR WINDOWS
https://www.tensorflow.org/install/install_windows
FOR macOS
https://www.tensorflow.org/install/install_mac
FOR UBUNTU
https://www.tensorflow.org/install/install_linux
We also welcome submissions of applications and systems built by you and powered by ImageAI for listings here. Should you want your ImageAI powered developments listed here, you can reach to us via our Contacts below.
For anyone interested in building AI systems and using them for business, economic, social and research purposes, it is critical that the person knows the likely positive, negative and unprecedented impacts the use of such technologies will have. They must also be aware of approaches and practices recommended by experienced industry experts to ensure every use of AI brings overall benefit to mankind. We therefore recommend to everyone that wishes to use ImageAI and other AI tools and resources to read Microsoft's January 2018 publication on AI titled "The Future Computed : Artificial Intelligence and its role in society ".
