Introduction to Image Classification

Introduction to Image Classification

Image classification is a fundamental task in computer vision, a field of artificial intelligence focused on teaching computers to interpret and understand visual information from the world. Image classification specifically involves the process of assigning a label or category to an input image. The goal is to enable computers to recognize and categorise objects, scenes, or patterns within images, just as a human would. With this hands-on workshop, participants will learn how to perform an image classification task using a convolutional neural network (CNN). Through coding exercises in Python, attendees will load and pre-process a set of images to build, train and evaluate a CNN to make classification predictions.

This workshop will take place over two days mornings, Monday 15 June 2026 and Tuesday 16 June 2026, 9:00am – 1:00pm (AEST) each day. Please only register if you can fully commit to attending both 4 hour sessions.

This is an online workshop, so you will need to provide your own computer, and have access to a reliable internet connection sufficient for video conferencing. A second monitor is highly recommended.

This lesson is designed for people who have experience with Python and are looking to jump straight into image classification. Previous completion of 'Introduction to Python (NCI)' or Software Carpentry 'Plotting and Programming in Python (PPP)' is recommended. We recognise that the jump is quite large from Introductory Python level knowledge into Image Classification so we have done our best to provide the content and code to support workshop participants.

This workshop is relevant to all research disciplines.

You can email training@qcif.edu.au.

Cancellations are accepted up to 3 working days before the start of the workshop. If you do not join on the day without having cancelled beforehand, you may be blocked from attending any future QCIF training workshops.
