# Defining Your Computer Vision Model

### EyePop.ai supports three model types:

* **Detection**
  * Locates and identifies objects in an image. Example: Detecting eyeglasses in photos.
* **Classification**
  * Categorizes images into defined labels. Example: Identifying whether an image shows a dog or a cat.
* **Segmentation**
  * Outlines and isolates objects from backgrounds. Example: Determining the precise area taken up by a product.

When choosing and preparing your model, it’s important to clearly define the problem you aim to solve and ensure it’s well-scoped for the model type chosen. Are you detecting an object, condition, or feature? What are your specific attributes of interest (i.e. size, position, or appearance)? In the example use case that follows, the problem we aim to solve is identifying images of glasses in various contexts, which we accomplish using a Detection model type.
