Developing models to analyze images is a demanding task that requires significant time, resources, and effort. Recently, companies such as Amazon and Google are providing services to make the modeling process easier so even users with little machine learning expertise can enjoy deep learning technologies. Based on our prior work in object detection and classification for smart city applications, we would like to compare and evaluate the process and performance of commercial services using our training datasets. This project will be a good practice to understand the image machine learning modeling process and the advantages/limitations of commercial services for customized learning.
