Setup

This page shows all the services that need to be setup prior to

To create a custom model we will need Watson Studio.

Watson Studio allows us to train and test custom machine learning and visual recognition models . It will also allow us to bind services that do :

• Image Recognition - through Watson Visual Recognition Service

• Store Images and Models - through Object Storage Service

Lets get Started!

Step 1:

Log into your IBM Cloud account and go to catalog :

Search for Watson Studio and select service

Step 2:

Create Lite service

You can name your service anything you want , or keep name default

Step 3:

Click on Get Started to launch service

Step 4:

Create a Project

Step 5:

Create an Empty Project

Step 6:

Name Project and Bind a Object Storage Service

1. Name Project any name - I called mine Custom Visual Recognition Model Project

2. Scroll down press Add to add an object storage service . Once you create service you will return back to this page and will have to press Refresh to bind service

Scroll down when you see this page

Step 7:

Clicking Add on previous step will let you Create an Object Storage Service .

Scroll down to create service when you see this page

Enter name for service. I like appending my initials at the end of the default name

This will take you back to the previous page in Step 6. Make sure to press Refresh. You should see your object storage service . Press Create

Step 8 :

Add Visual Recognition Service to model by clicking on Add to Project

Choose Visual Recognition Model

Click here to create a Visual Recognition Service

Step 9:

You will be on the page to create a Visual Recognition Service. Make sure you pick a lite service and name service

Enter name for service. I like appending my initials at the end of the default name

Step 10 :

Congrats, you are on the last setup step.

Click on Create Model for Classify Images

You should see this page :

Congrats! Now you should be ready to train !
