Creating a project
==================

From the Roboflow workspace, **New Project** opens the create page.
A project bundles a dataset, the models trained on it, and their
deployment targets.

   The create-project page, with **Object Detection**
   chosen as the project type.

Two choices matter here:

* **Project Name.** Use anything memorable -- this example uses
  ``Finding raccoons``. The name becomes part of the model's
  identifier, which you download at the deploy step.
* **Project Type.** This sets what the model predicts, so match it
  to what you want the camera to do. **Object Detection** -- finding
  objects and their positions with bounding boxes -- is the one for
  locating things in the frame, and it is what the camera's YOLO
  post-processors decode. The other types -- classification,
  instance segmentation, keypoint detection -- train different model
  heads; this example uses object detection.

The visibility and license options affect only whether the dataset
is shared publicly on Roboflow Universe -- they have no bearing on
the model that ends up on the camera. Set them as you like, then
**Create Project**.
