In this tutorial, we will use Google Colab (for model training) and Google Drive (for storage).

Colab is a free Jupyter NoteBook environment hosted by Google that runs on the cloud. Google Colab provides free access to GPUs (Graphical Processing Units) and TPUs (Tensor Processing Units).

You can read more about Google Colab on their  Intro and  FAQ page.

NOTE:

Sessions on Google Colab are 12 hours long. After 12 hours everything on Colab storage is wiped out (Notebooks will also disconnect from Virtual Machines if they are left idle for too long). So, it is advisable to use Google Drive for storage rather than using Colab’s storage.

Considering that you know the basics of Colab, let’s start with our Object Recognition Model!
