So after digging into the whole machine learning stuff(with and without opencv dnn) i want to take some steps back and ask you guys about your opinion.
Is it really worth training / searching for existing model or should you just use the cloud of any provider to do the thing you want? Theres amazon recognition, microsoft mxnet, ibm watson, etc. The more i know - the more i have the feeling that you will never be able to really compete with them as they have:
- the knowledge
- the data
- the infrastructure
- the manpower
- the money
I just hate it being dependend on a big company but i also dont like wasting too much time and reinventing wheels. How do you guys see this?
Greetings, Holger
