Using TensorFlow and Azure to Add Image Classification to Your Android Apps (Xamarin Blog)

TensorFlow is a well established, open source machine learning and deep learning framework that can be used to create and run a wide range of different models, usually using powerful machines in the cloud. In addition, TensorFlow also supports running models on mobile devices through the TensorFlow.Mobile library, taking advantage of the hardware acceleration available on modern phones to run models incredibly fast on low powered mobile devices.

In this post, we’ll discuss how to build an image classifier to identify different fruits using the Azure Custom Vision service, and create a simple Android app to use this model to classify images.
