Train the Custom Model

After creating your dataset, you can train your custom model.

Train your model using one of Vision's custom model training modes. The training modes are:
  • Recommended training: Vision automatically selects the training duration to create the best model. The training might take up to 24 hours.
  • Quick training: This option produces a model that's not fully optimized but is available in about an hour.
  • Custom duration: This option lets you set your own maximum training duration.

The best training duration depends on the complexity of your detection problem, the typical number of objects in an image, the resolution, and other factors. Consider these needs, and allocate more time as the training complexity increases. The minimum amount of training time recommended is 30 minutes. A longer training time gives greater accuracy, but diminishing returns in accuracy with time. Use the quick training mode to get an idea of the smallest amount of time it takes to get a model that provides reasonable performance. Use the recommended mode to get a base optimized model. If you want a better result, increase the training time.
