What Shoes Are You Wearing?

We have trained an AI model to guess what kind of shoe it is being presented with. The user would put a shoe up to their camera, and the model would put the shoe into one of ten categories:

Categories: Boots, Cleats, Crocs, Dress Shoes, Flats, Heels, Loafers, Running Shoes, Sandals, Slippers


The model is trained from images of 5-8 different shoes for each category, with 4-7 images per shoe. The images were taken from the Designer Shoe Warehouse (DSW) website.

To learn more about the model, go to the Project Statement page.

The below video showcases the algorithm at work, classifying a handful of shoes. You're also encouraged to try the model yourself.
