Hello everybody. What is going on with the Visual Recognition Demo? I had a old version and was working well... Now stop!!!

What does this app do? As you are pointing to http://visual-recognition-demo.mybluemix.net/ that means you cannot train the service with your own images as in the url it's pointing?

Hi,

Let me share with you a strange behavior of the Demo Classifier in your application.

Select Dog Breeds and All categories (if you don't select all results are different and it works fine: no match). Then classify the following image https://i.ytimg.com/vi/8o44asJt8ZA/maxresdefault.jpg

The result classifies this image as a Dalmation!!!

Strange results with https://tse1.mm.bing.net/th?id=OIP.Ma5dddfee9cd0a3e59653cfb1a7547606o0&pid=15.1&P=0&w=300&h=81

Similar results with other images which are not dogs.
Similar results with other categories: Moleskine and Satellite (but different with Insurance Claim)

The README tells us to create the service with a "standard" plan:

cf create-service watson_vision_combined standard visual-recognition-service

The plan comes at a cost. Any way to have the sample use the "Free" plan?

I have tried master and the latest beta release, but both are failing to deploy on Bluemix.
This is a screenshot of the error on the application

This is the log showing the only error. It's unfortunate that there isn't any reason why there is an error so I could try figuring this out on my own.

Some of our integration tests now require credentials. We store encrypted credentials in the .travis.yml file, but travis only decrypts these for commits and PRs from people with commit permissions on github. For PRs from other people, these are not decrypted and then the tests that require them fail (e.g. #107 )

Here are two possible options to resolve this:

• Split out the tests that require credentials and skip them if credentials are not available (this is probably easier, it's what we do in the node SDK)
• Mock the API server (the Speech JS SDK does this, it's a bit more work)

After training a custom classifier successfully, it is not getting picked up. Getting "No matching classifiers found." message.

When I use the "Deploy on Bluemix" option, the visual recognition service is not added/bind. I think it should be declared in manifest.yml

For example: http://myinwood.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/academy-street-resized.jpg displays cropped in the demo response.

Hi, i followed the steps provided. but i hit this error when run it on cmd.

Visual Recognition don't deploy on my Bluemix. Generates error on the final of the process when was trying to upload something.

Some browsers cannot handle loading hundreds of images at once and will consequently crash. However, it will not crash if images were loaded one chunk at a time.

The limit is around 55-57mb of data at a time.

EDIT:

Do browser detection, and generate message about browsers accordingly.

A customer using the VR Nodejs demo was getting 429 errors after uploading more than 10 images.
this number is set too low for most customer demos and evaluations and should be set to a higher number to reduce the occurrence of hitting 429 errors.

The README should have a section describing how to add/remove/update bundles. It should also list the steps to manually set a classifier and prevent the demo from deleting it.

I am trying to train Visual Recognition by loading zip files. When I attempt to load I receive an error message "You can only upload zipped archives of images". See the image in the attached file.

I tried Winzip and Windows Explorer file compression. A representative zip file is attached.
Bridges.zip

I experience the same problem on the Visual Recognition demo site.

Team, I'm giving a demo to a major customer today at 2:30 today (4 hours from now) using visual recognition to identify damaged packages.

It was working a couple days ago. Today it doesn't.

I upload the same .zip files I used a couple days ago (less than 5MB with more than 50 images), let the blue wheel spin for 6 seconds, then get the error "Visual Recognition is not available right now..."

I get this error both on the standard demo instance (http://visual-recognition-demo.mybluemix.net/train) and my own (http://visual-recognition-nodejs-igarbo-2146.mybluemix.net/train).

According to the visualRecognition documentation there is a method called detectFaces which takes in similar parameters as the .classify() method.

const fs = require('fs'),
    VisualRecognitionV3 = require('watson-developer-cloud/visual-recognition/v3'),
    visualRecognition = new VisualRecognitionV3({
        api_key: '[MY_REAL_API_KEY]',
        version: '2016-05-20'
    });

const params = {
  images_file: fs.createReadStream('./peter.jpg')
};

visualRecognition.detectFaces(params, (err, res) => {
  if (err) {
    console.log(err);
  } else {
    console.log(JSON.stringify(res, null, 2));
  }
});

The classify works good when I send over a picture and returns JSON alright, when I try to use the .detectFaces() with the same parameters I get an error:

~/Git/watson-developer-cloud  node watsonImageRecognition.js 
{
  "status": "ERROR",
  "statusInfo": "invalid-api-key-permissions"
}

Am I missing something in the parameters to run this locally?
I tried exporting in the environment variable VISUAL_RECOGNITION_API_KEY=[MY_REAL_API_KEY]
but that did nothing also. It works fine with classify() just the detectFaces does nothing and asks for the API_KEY... any thoughts?

Please change your dependency definition to "cf-deployment-tracker-client": "^0.x" to collect additional deployment metadata.

orientation isn't respected for images.

I've cloned the app with my own Watson credentials and It's unfortunately not working.

I keep getting the error :

Error processing the request. Please try again.

The JS console is telling me the server is throwing a 500 error.
I've gotten the same error on local and on the web app. 2013 MacBook Air.

Integrating web workers can increase the performance of loading 1000+ images.

However, image resizing would no longer be using canvas and would have to implement my own resizing algorithm. Here is a JSFiddle Example.

Hi. I am developing or trying to develop an app with Watson Visual Recognition scripts available on GitHub but that doesn't work on the Blue Mix environment. Follows attached prints. Someone saw something similar. I did all the manual's steps. Thanks in advance.

Hi everybody . Is it still necessary in Visual Recognition V3 to use the Alchemy API and then set the environments variables in manual mode as fig. attached.

The demo should load in less than 5 sec using 3G

Alyssa has reported that the Tealeaf tracking in the demo appears to not be working. Don't have additional info at the moment.

Please refer to the following document for details and migration instructions https://github.com/IBM-Bluemix/cf-deployment-tracker-client-node/wiki/migrating-to-the-new-metrics-tracker-client.

Let's start by looking at https://github.com/blueimp/JavaScript-Load-Image

Switch to use the nodejs-wrapper.

The manifest.yml file is missing a ":" on line 3 of the declared-service name "visual-recognition-free"

    ---
declared-services:
  visual-recognition-free
    label: watson_vision_combined
    plan: free
applications:
- services:
  - visual-recognition-free
  name: visual-recognition-demo
  command: npm start
  path: .
  memory: 512M

Should be defined as the following:

    ---
declared-services:
  visual-recognition-free:
    label: watson_vision_combined
    plan: free
applications:
- services:
  - visual-recognition-free
  name: visual-recognition-demo
  command: npm start
  path: .
  memory: 512M

If the user clicks on a bundle to use, the "Name a classifier" automatically fills. At this point, it should not be editable.

When I run npm start, I get the following in the gitbash :
$ npm start

I think perhaps I did step 7 wrong, which was not very clear. What should the .env file be called? I named it "process.env" and the following are its contents:

Environment variables

VISUAL_RECOGNITION_API_KEY=[snip]

I forked the code as it comes, changed the api key, tested that classifying works but when I try to create a new model get this error:
Missing required parameters: either two *_positive_examples or one *_positive_examples and one negative_examples must be provided

I'm sending a positive and negative file, it's working on online demo.

The link on the Train Tab to learn more about classifiers does not work. When clicked, it says "Javascript:void(0);"

The proper link is this one: http://www.ibm.com/smarterplanet/us/en/ibmwatson/developercloud/doc/visual-recognition/overview.shtml

{ [Error: Cannot retrain a classifier under the free plan. ]
code: 400,
error: 'Cannot retrain a classifier under the free plan. ' } [ 'classifier_id', 'beagle_positive_examples' ] null

Should allow ":"s in urls, like https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:OIC_street_sign_south_perth_old.jpg

Limit the images to be 200

Include message of limit.

When clicking on the JSON button to see the raw json that is returned by the service, it opens a blank page and doesn't show anything.

When opening the browser console, I'm seeing the following error message:
