Give CustomVision videos from Blob Storage

Henning Markussen 6

Hi,

I would like to use Custom Vision to assist in the labeling process (annotation), i.e. using the smart labeler feature. We collect video data, and at the moment we upload it to our storage account on Azure, namely blob storage. I would like to connect the data in blob storage with a custom vision project, preferably programmatically. At the moment I can do a work around by downloading all the data from blob storage and then proceed to upload it to the CV project, but due the amount of data it takes a while.
Any tips on how to go about this in an efficient way?

@Henning Markussen Custom vision API or SDK can upload local images or images with URLs but there is still a limitation on the number of images that can be uploaded.
If you want to use blob storage you can generate a SAS URI and use it with CreateImagesFromUrls but each image in the storage account would need a SAS URI along with tag data so that the initial training of the project can be completed before you start using the smart labeler feature from the portal.

Don't you also think that this is a pretty big inconvenience?
I think I will simply start from local machine and then upload to CV...

Hi, have you find any proper way of doing it. As we have made alot of hamraaz app 2022 for the same purposes so that we could use custom vission to assist in the labelling process. But it showing alot of issues and we are trying our best to do the annotation but all in vain. If you have found any proper solution for it so kindly share with us.

Did you tried exploring the docs of vision projects for encountering such issues. ?
