Creating a dataset using images stored on your local computer

You can create a dataset by using images that are loaded directly from your computer. You can upload up to 30 images at a time. In this procedure, you can create a single dataset project, or a project with separate training and test datasets.

Note

If you've just completed Creating your project, the console should show your project dashboard and you don't need to do steps 1 - 3.
