[masgh021]

hello EveryOne . please Add localML feature to object detection Scenario .

[LittleLittleCloud]

@briacht I've seen several similar requests for local object detection training, do we want to prioritize this working item?

[masgh021]

@briacht @LittleLittleCloud please make it .

I would also love the ability to train object detection models locally. Ideally on the GPU. Model builder is fun to use thanks for working on it :)

Thanks for quoting me, I forgot all about this!

[beccamc]

No worries, thanks for the feedback @CommanderLake!

Unfortunately I still use VS2017 for which support has been dropped.

Hello.

I have scoured the internet for various methods for training an object detection model.

We have been using external services for training and hosting our custom models. $$$

It would be incredibly helpful if we could leverage ML.NETs codegen and local training specifically for custom object detection scenarios.

The documentation indicates that this can be done already [https://dotnet.microsoft.com/learn/ml-dotnet/get-started-tutorial/scenario], when object detection is actually a limited scenario...

[beccamc]

@tomfrancix Have you updated your Model Builder to the latest version? https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=MLNET.07. On version 16.7.6.2150501 you should be able to train an object detection model with your own data.

You will need to setup an Azure account to do this. The good thing is, you are charged once for training, and then can download the model and remove any Azure resources. It should be cheaper than training and hosting models.

I am also interested in this feature.

[chenzanyu]

Hope to support local training as soon as possible

[KalasB]

I would love to have this feature.

@luisquintanilla to kick off partner team conversation for this.

[caiocodo]

I'm not allowed to use Azure, please add support for local object detection training. It would be a great feature.

[chenzanyu]

@luisquintanilla @beccamc This Issue was removed from Fall 2022 Milestone. Will it support the future?

[luisquintanilla]

Hi @chenzanyu

We are working on bringing this scenario to ML.NET and Model Builder in the near future.

[Aeroverra]

Would love to see this. I learn on my self hosted personal project then I bring that skill to work and host it on Azure. :)

[aaronplata123]

This feature will be very helpful. Thanks to all who are working on this.

[JbodMode]

hi, please Add localML feature to object detection Scenario.

[Frizto]

Hope they bring the Local feature to obj detection ;/

The local object detection training has been released in May. Simply upgrading model builder to 17.16.* or later to enjoying

[jeffward01]

Please update the UI to include 'Local` instead of just 'Azure'. This is VS2022:

Was the local button removed after it has been released? This article had it available: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/dotnet/object-detection-ml-dotnet-model-builder/
