Tower Classifier

Like everyone else I have had six months of Covid imposed solitude but unlike others I’ve been extremely unemployed.

I’ve been through multiple fads - sour dough, circuits, The Sopranos, etc. Over the last few weeks I’ve occupied myself with producing a simple web application that classifies pictures of either the CN Tower, Skytree or The Space Needle.

The app is built with Django and deployed on Google Cloud App Engine. The classifier is a CNN deployed through Google Cloud Functions. The notebook lesson1.ipynb shows the model training, using fastai and the model can be found here.
