Object detection with Microsoft Custom Vision

Last year Custom Vision was released to classify your own objects on images. Yesterday at Build 2018 a new Project Type was added to enable Object Detection in images. In this blog we are going to take a closer look and see what this new feature can do. Detect multiple objects in an image and draw boxes around these objects. As for every Machine Learning project you need a dataset, Kaggle is a great resource for that and I have downloaded The Simpsons dataset. This dataset contains around 7000 images including a CSV file with the coördinates where they are on the pictures.
