1. Introduction

This is an image classifier specifically trained for classifying various places. The list of places can be found here.

Input:

• (Required) Image Data API Url, Web (http/https) Url, binary image or a base64 encoded image.
• (Optional)?Number of results. (Default=5)

Output:

• Top N classifications.

Note: The first call to this algorithm will take a bit longer than sequential calls to due algorithm initialization. All following calls will be significantly faster.

2. Examples

Example 1.

• Parameter 1: Data API Url

  ]
}

Example 3.

• Parameter 1: Base64 image

{
    "image": "data:image/png;base64....",
}

Output;

{
  "results":[
    {"class": "archive", "prob": 0.16057744622230533},
    {"class": "beauty_salon", "prob": 0.11514712870121004},
