inference-cpu 0.7.2

With no prior knowledge of machine learning or device-specific deployment, you can deploy a computer vision model to a range of devices and environments using Roboflow Inference.

👋 hello

Roboflow Inference is an opinionated tool for running inference on state-of-the-art computer vision models. With no prior knowledge of machine learning or device-specific deployment, you can deploy a computer vision model to a range of devices and environments.

Inference provides a Python library and Docker interface. Using the Docker interface, you can scale up your inference as needed.

📌 Install pip vs Docker:

• pip: Installs inference into your Python environment. Lightweight, good for Python-centric projects.
• Docker: Packages inference with its environment. Ensures consistency across setups; ideal for scalable deployments.

💻 install

With ONNX CPU Runtime:

For CPU powered inference:

pip install inference

or

pip install inference-cpu

With ONNX GPU Runtime:

If you have an NVIDIA GPU, you can accelerate your inference with:

pip install inference-gpu

Without ONNX Runtime:

Roboflow Inference uses Onnxruntime as its core inference engine. Onnxruntime provides an array of different execution providers that can optimize inference on differnt target devices. If you decide to install onnxruntime on your own, install inference with:

pip install inference-core

Alternatively, you can take advantage of some advanced execution providers using one of our published docker images.

Extras:

Some functionality requires extra dependancies. These can be installed by specifying the desired extras during installation of Roboflow Inference.

http	Ability to run the http interface

Example install with clip and http dependancies:

pip install inferencep[clip,http]

🔥 quickstart

Docker Quickstart:

import requests

dataset_id = "soccer-players-5fuqs"
version_id = "1"
image_url = "https://source.roboflow.com/pwYAXv9BTpqLyFfgQoPZ/u48G0UpWfk8giSw7wrU8/original.jpg"
#Replace ROBOFLOW_API_KEY with your Roboflow API Key
api_key = "ROBOFLOW_API_KEY"
confidence = 0.5

url = f"http://localhost:9001/{dataset_id}/{version_id}"

params = {
    "api_key": api_key,
    "confidence": confidence,
    "image": image_url,
}

res = requests.post(url, params=params)
print(res.json())

Pip Quickstart:

After installing via pip, you can run a simple inference using:

from inference.core.data_models import ObjectDetectionInferenceRequest
from inference.models.yolov5.yolov5_object_detection import (
    YOLOv5ObjectDetectionOnnxRoboflowInferenceModel,
)

model = YOLOv5ObjectDetectionOnnxRoboflowInferenceModel(
    model_id="soccer-players-5fuqs/1", device_id="my-pc", 
    #Replace ROBOFLOW_API_KEY with your Roboflow API Key
    api_key="ROBOFLOW_API_KEY"
)

request = ObjectDetectionInferenceRequest(
    image={
        "type": "url",
        "value": "https://source.roboflow.com/pwYAXv9BTpqLyFfgQoPZ/u48G0UpWfk8giSw7wrU8/original.jpg",
    },
    confidence=0.5,
    iou_threshold=0.5,
)

results = model.infer(request)

print(results)
