Creating a dataset using images stored on your local computer - Amazon Lookout for Vision

End of support notice: On October 31, 2025, AWS will discontinue support for Amazon Lookout for Vision. After October 31, 2025, you will no longer be able to access the Lookout for Vision console or Lookout for Vision resources. For more information, visit this blog post.

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.
