Learn About Pipeline

CircularNet offers prediction pipelines for processing, analyzing, and performing object recognition on video or image files. These pipelines facilitate systematic and automated video and image analysis using the Mask R-CNN algorithm and additional object detection and feature extraction processes.

You can run a prediction pipeline from a script to automatically apply the two specialized models that analyze images or video frames. A prediction pipeline operates through the following series of actions in a specific order to ensure reliable and consistent results:

1. Organize your videos or images chronologically according to their creation time or another time-related metadata.
2. Import files one at a time. If your files are videos, the pipeline decomposes them into individual frames and runs two Mask R-CNN models for pixel-level instance segmentation on each frame.
3. Implement a color detection algorithm to identify and categorize the colors of the detected objects within the frames or images.
4. Extract and record features from the detected objects, facilitating analysis and machine learning applications.
5. Output prediction results of each frame or image with overlaid masks and identification of detected objects.

After processing all frames of a single video, the pipeline implements an object-tracking algorithm to identify and eliminate duplicate occurrences of objects across sequential frames, enhancing the accuracy of object detection and analysis.

Moreover, applying a prediction pipeline in Google Cloud automatically uploads raw images and prediction results into BigQuery tables. This seamless integration allows you to combine visualization dashboards with analytical reports effortlessly.
