Configuring udfloader element

The udfloader element has a single configurable property with the name config. This field expects a JSON string as an input. They key/value pairs in the JSON string should correspond to the constructor arguments of the UDFs class. Currently only atomic data types are supported.

Sample UDF config

The UDF config should be passed to the udfs key in the EIS config file. The below example configures the udfloader element to load and execute a single UDF, which in this case happens to be the geti_udf.

{
      "udfs": [
          {
              "name": "python.geti_udf.geti_udf",
              "type": "python",
              "device": "CPU",
              "visualize": "false",
              "deployment": "./resources/geti/pallet_defect_detection/deployment",
              "metadata_converter": "null",
          }
      ]
}

In order to chain multiple UDFs, simply provide the configs for UDFs as additional entries in the udfs array in the EIS config file as shown below

  {
      "udfs": [
          {
              "name": "udf1",
              "type": "python",
              "arg1": "value1",
              "arg2": "value2"
          },
          {
              "name": "udf2",
              "type": "python",
              "arg1": "value1",
              "arg2": "value2"
          }
      ]
  }

Pallet Defect Detection

This Geti udf supports deploying a project for local inference with OpenVINO using Intel® Geti™ SDK python package. It uses a Geti based Pallet Defect Detection model.

Refer the below config for the default config used for this Geti udf:

 "udfs": [
            {
                "name": "python.geti_udf.geti_udf",
                "type": "python",
                "device": "CPU",
                "deployment": "./resources/geti/pallet_defect_detection/deployment",
                "visualize": "false",
                "metadata_converter": "geti_to_dcaas"
            }
        ]

Add Label

This is a dummy udf for providing sample classification (anomalib usecase) data.

Add Label UDF is developed to facilitate anomalib training data collection where one is pointing camera on anomalous or non-anomalous product. While you point a camera to a given category of scene, default label value which is a configurable field ("anomalous": "true" or "anomalous": "false") in this UDF is applied to every frame. This process needs to be repeated to every type of class ("anomalous": "true" or "anomalous": "false") that you want to capture from the scene for training.

The following example shows the configuration for add label UDF. Either set "anomalous": "true" or "anomalous": "false"

    "udfs": [
        {
            "type": "python",
            "name": "python.add_label",
            "anomalous": "true"
        }
    ]

There is no AI model involved. It is a simple UDF script that labels the data with default label values and saves in DataStore which is further expected to be consumed by Visualizer microservice and Intel® Edge Data Collection microservice.
