Adding images to your dataset - Amazon Lookout for Vision

Adding images to your dataset

After you create a dataset, you might want to add more images to the dataset. For example, if model evaluation indicates a poor model, you can enhance the quality of your model by adding more images. If you have created a test dataset, adding more images can increase the accuracy of your model's performance metrics.

Retrain your model after updating your datasets.

Adding more images

You can add more images to your datasets by uploading images from your local computer. To add more labeled images with the SDK, use the UpdateDatasetEntries operation.

To add more images to your dataset (console)
  1. Choose Actions and select the dataset that you want to add images to.

  2. Choose the images you want to upload to the dataset. You can drag the images or choose the images that you want to upload from your local computer. You can upload up to 30 images at a time.

  3. Choose Upload images.

  4. Choose Save changes.

When you are done adding more images, you need to label them so that they can be used to train the model. For more information, see Classifying images (console).

Adding more images (SDK)

To add more labeled images with the SDK, use the UpdateDatasetEntries operation. You supply a manifest file that contains the images that you want to add. You can also update existing images by specifying the image in the source-ref field of the JSON line in the manifest file. For more information, see Creating a manifest file.

To add more images to a dataset (SDK)
  1. If you haven't already done so, install and configure the AWS CLI and the AWS SDKs. For more information, see Step 4: Set up the AWS CLI and AWS SDKs.

  2. Use the following example code to add more images to a dataset.

    CLI

    Change the following values:

    • project-name to the name of the project that contains the dataset you want to update.

    • dataset-type to the type of dataset that you want to update (train or test).

    • changes to the location the manifest file that contain dataset updates.
