AI-Powered Image Classification with Vertex AI & AutoML- Damaged Car
This project focuses on building an AI-powered image classification model using Google Cloud Vertex AI and AutoML Vision. The solution automates the detection and categorization of images such as product photos, medical scans, or document types helping businesses speed up visual data analysis and improve accuracy in classification workflows.
Use Cases
Manual image review is time-consuming, inconsistent, and not scalable. Businesses in retail, healthcare, and logistics need reliable ways to:
Classify thousands of images quickly
Detect patterns or anomalies
Automate tagging, sorting, or verification processes
Traditional rule-based image handling lacks adaptability and fails to scale across diverse datasets.
Case Study: Damaged Car Identification for an Insurance Company
The company needed to classify images of damaged cars
Uploaded 500+ labeled images to Vertex AI.
AutoML trained the model in under an hour.
Achieved 92% classification accuracy, automating 80% of the manual review workload.
Technical Stack
ML Platform: Vertex AI AutoML Vision
Data Storage: Google Cloud Storage
Model Serving: Vertex AI Endpoints
Visualization: BigQuery, Looker Studio
Integration: REST API for application deployment
Process
1. Dataset Preparation & Labeling
Upload images to Google Cloud Storage.
Organize into folders based on category (e.g., bumper engine_compartment, hood lateral windshield).
Use Vertex AI Dataset service to import, label, and split the data (train/test).
2. Model Training with AutoML Vision
Vertex AI AutoML Vision automatically builds and tunes a classification model.
It applies transfer learning and evaluates with metrics like precision, recall, and F1 score.
3. Model Deployment & Predictions
Deploy the trained model on Vertex AI endpoint.
Send prediction requests via the Vertex AI API.
The model returns the predicted label with a confidence score.
4. Results Visualization & Usage
Use Vertex AI dashboard to monitor performance.
Export predictions to BigQuery or visualize via Looker Studio.
Integrate into applications via REST API.
