The image recognition training and deployment process – step by step

Most of you will be very familiar with computer images. Just like the safety belt demonstration on every commercial flight, just in case, I'll cover images, pixels, and depth. If you already know this, skip ahead.

Images are stored in a computer as a two-dimensional array of pixels, or picture elements. Each pixel is a tiny dot. Thousands or millions of tiny dots make up each image.
