In previous post we made a solution for sending captured cam images to object storage buckets.
Object storage emit events upon actions such as object creation, deletion, etc.
Functions is a serverless platform that enables you to create, run, and scale business logic without managing any infrastructure.
AI Vision object detection provides a framework (SDK & batch) for detection of object in images. In this use case we are using the vision go sdk
Notifications broadcasts messages to distributed components through a publish-subscribe pattern, delivering secure, highly reliable, low latency and durable messages for applications hosted on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure and externally. Use Notifications to get messages whenever alarms, service connectors, and event rules are triggered.
STEP 1: OBJECT STORAGE EVENT TRIGGERING
Set the [Emit Object Events] option in the bucket in wich you are storing the cam pictures.
STEP 2: DEPLOY THE FUNCTION CODE
Create an Application:
Clone this repo and deploy the function:
fn create context humans --provider oracle fn use context humans fn update context oracle.compartment-id ocid1.compart......m5wa fn update context api-url https://functions.eu-frankfurt-1.oraclecloud.com fn update context registry fra.ocir.io/<namespace>/humans docker login -u '<tenancyname>/oracleidentitycloudservice/<user>' fra.ocir.io <the password here is an auth token created by the user> fn deploy --app humans_around --verbose --no-bump
STEP 3: CREATE EVENT RULE
Create a rule that fires the deployed function when a file is stored in the target bucket:
STEP 4: NOTIFICATION TOPIC AND SUBSCRIPTION
Create a topic:
Grab the ocid of the topic.
Create an email subscription in the topic:
STEP 5: CONFIGURE FUNCTION PARAMETERS
Go to the deployed function and configure the following parameters:
NOTIFICATION_TOPIC: The ocid of the notification topic created in step 4
SEARCH_FOR: Comma separated list of objects to detect
CONFIDENCE: If the object detected has a confidence value greater than this setting the notification event in sent
STEP 6: POLICIES
Set up policies to allow the Functions service to reach the other cloud services subsystems:
# note: more restricted policies can be stated if that is the case allow any-user to manage ai-service-vision-family in compartment <xxxxx> allow any-user to manage ons-topics in compartment <xxxxx>
STEP 7: TEST IT ALL
Walk around one of your cameras and see what happens…
CONCLUSION
The use of serverless managed cloud services turbocharges the deployment of a bunch of solutions, this is just an example that a hobbyist can create in a few hours. The solution can be extended with autonomous databases, AI algorithms, kafka and much more.
That’s all, hope it helps!!! 🙂
