Flutter for Beginners

Using the label detector in Flutter

As we have seen, we have multiple tools provided by Firebase ML Kit; in this example, we will be running the label detector on image, so that the image will be interpreted and the library will give us info about what the image might be of. This can be useful for the preprocessing and filtering of images.

Depending on the service we want to use, we need to add specific libraries at system level. For image labeling, we need to add a labeling library (OCR) at the native level of our project.

In Android, this is done in the android/app/build.gradle file, basically by downloading the native code that allows the entity resolution in an image as follows:

dependencies {    ... api 'com.google.firebase:firebase-ml-vision-image-label-model:16.2.0' ...
