The project overview
If you have seen the TV series Silicon Valley, you have probably heard of the Not Hotdog application. In this chapter, we will learn how to build that app. The first part of this chapter will involve collecting the data that we will use to create a machine learning model that can detect whether a photo contains a hot dog.
In the second part of the chapter, we will build an app using .NET MAUI and ML.NET, where the user can either take a new photo or pick a photo in the photo library, analyzing it to see whether it contains a hot dog. The estimated time for completing this project is 120 minutes.
