Web app to easily collect images for your dataset

It is easy to train your neural network when you get data from the web. Datasets such as ImageNet and Mnist even have utility classes to load the data, such as MnistDataSetIterator from DeepLearning4J.

The problem is when you have to collect the dataset yourself. There are many ways to do that, we can try to automatize how we collect the data, but then you may have a dataset that does not reflect the real world.

Right now I have to collect images form real world. I can't take pictures from the internet, that are only a few and I can't take in my house or important features won't be learned. So I created a small web application which I think that may be useful for others trying to create their own dataset. The idea is simple:


  • You set the output directory and the possible labels in pom.xml;
  • Then you start the application and start taking pictures with your mobile;
  • The application then saves the images using the label as the parent directory




When training your neural network with Java and DeepLearning4J you can simply use the following code to have the parent directory as the image label:


The application is based on Wildfly Swarm, considering you have maven and JDK 1.8 you just have to clone the application from my github, modify pom.xml to have the output directory and the possible labels for your dataset, run mvn wildfly-swarm:run and access the page with your mobile to start capturing images. You can also set the properties when running the wildfly swarm uber JAR and also configure wildfly swarm using system properties as described in its documentation.

This is what the very simple home page looks like:




Of course we could have much more ideas here, but I need to start collecting my dataset and don't have time to keep improving it and I need to collect information! However, if you have any suggestion of improvements feel free to send me pull requests.

Creating custom Work Item Handler in BPM Suite/jBPM 6

Hi all! In this post I am going to share my experience creating a work item handler for BPM Suite 6.0.3 (which is very similar to jbpm as explained in a previous post ). The Hello World Work Item Handler Let's create a really simple WorkItemHandler just to print "Hello World" in the console. Of course you can implement more feature and make it receive parameters, access database, web services, etc. But in this post we will keep it simple. Really simple. First thing to do is to create a maven project for my WorkItemHandler. Here's the pom.xml of my Maven project: Notice that we are importing jbpm dependency so we can find the java interface that is used to create work item handlers. Now we can start coding. Let's create a class name HelloWorkItemHandler in package org.jugvale.jbpm, here is the simple code: Now we can build our project and go to BPM Suite to configure it so we can use this workitem. Registering the WorkItemHandler UPDATE...

Using the REST Task from jBPM 6

In this post I am going to share my experience using the BPM Suite 6 REST Task. BPM Suite  X jBPM jBPM is a JBoss community project to offer an open source and efficient BPM Suite and BPM Suite is a product created by Red Hat based on jBPM. In this post I will be using BPM Suite because I have it installed already, but what I am going to described should work for jBPM as well.   REST Task  The REST Task is used to invoke a REST resource (or perform an HTTP Request) from your Business Process. You can set the URL, HTTP Method, timeout and credentials from the Process Modeller interface and when the process gets into that task, it will generate a HTTP Request and return the response as String. It is available on the left side pallet under the "Service Tasks" tab: The Target REST Web Service The service we are going to access from our process is a really simple one, that's why it is called simple-hello-rs and it is based on JBoss helloworld-rs qu...

Simplest JavaFX ComboBox autocomplete

Based on this Brazilian community post , I've created a sample Combobox auto complete. What it basically does is: When user type with the combobox selected, it will work on a temporary string to store the typed text; Each key typed leads to the combobox to be showed and updated If backspace is type, we update the filter Each key typed shows the combo box items, when the combobox is hidden, the filter is cleaned and the tooltip is hidden:   The class code and a sample application is below. I also added the source to my personal github , sent me PR to improve it and there are a lot of things to improve, like space and accents support.
