# AddClassImages

Adds training images to an object class.

After adding training images to an object class, you must retrain the classifier using the action BuildClassifier.

Type: synchronous

Parameter | Description | Required
--- | --- | ---
`classifier` | The name of the classifier that contains the object class that you want to add images to. | Yes
`identifier` | The identifier of the object class that you want to add images to. | Yes
`imagedata` | The training images to add. You must upload files as multipart/form-data. For more information about sending data to Media Server, refer to the Media Server Administration Guide. | Set this or `imagepath`.
`imagelabels` | A comma-separated list of labels to identify the images that you are adding (maximum 254 bytes for each label). Every image added to the same object class must have a unique label, so the number of labels must match the number of images provided using either `imagedata` or `imagepath`. If you do not set this parameter, Media Server generates labels automatically. | No
`imagepath` | A comma-separated list of paths to the training images to add. The paths must be absolute, or relative to the Media Server executable file. | Set this or `imagedata`.

## Example

The following example adds training images to an object class by specifying the paths of the images using the `imagepath` parameter:

    curl http://localhost:14000 -F action=addclassimages
                                -F classifier=vehicles
                                -F identifier=cars
                                -F imagepath=image1.jpg,image2.jpg
                                -F imagelabels=image1,image2

Alternatively, you can add training images by sending the image data, for example:

    curl http://localhost:14000 -F action=addclassimages
                                -F classifier=vehicles
                                -F identifier=cars
                                -F imagedata=@image1.jpg,image2.jpg
                                -F imagelabels=image1,image2
