SAP Computer Vision Package

SAP Computer Vision Package

This package extends detectron2 and among other things it adds image classification and feature extraction functionalities. Additionally it offers an CLI to create SAP AI Core template for training and serving.

Supported use-cases

• Object Detection
• Image Classification
• Image Feature Extraction
• Model Training and Deployment on SAP AI Core

Installation

Prerequisites

Before installing the package detectron2 has to be installed. Please check the detectron2 installation guide to select the proper version.

Installtion from Source

When building from source please use the setup_without_centaur.py file. To allow local changes use:

python setup_with_centaur.py develop

Installtion using pip

pip install sap-computer-vision-package

Getting Started

Python Library

If you are interested to use our package a simple extension to detectron2, we recommend running sap_cv examples <target_dir> to copy our example notebooks to <target_dir> and take a look at those.

AI Core Templates

To show all available templates run sap_cv show. The command sap_cv show <pipeline_name> show detailed information about a specific pipeline.

The training pipelines are templates for AI Core execution. To run it under your tenant you need the template and the matching docker image:

• To create a template execute sap_cv create-template <pipeline_name> -o/--output-file=<choose_name>.json. The templates contains several tenant specific entries like imagePullSecrets etc. Please adjust them by hand or use a pipeline config YAML (see section below).
• To create a docker image execute sap_cv create-template <pipeline_name> -t <tag/docker-image-target>

The template has to be pushed into the onboarded git repo (consult AI Core documentation to set it up) and the container to the onboarded docker repository.

To templates are built using metaflow so make sure that metaflow and its data storage are configured correctly.

Pipeline Config .yaml

Tenant specific values for the template can either be provided through the CLI through additional options. For more information execute sap_cv create-template <pipeline_name> --argo-help. To simplify the command and make the creation of the template trackable in git it is possible to use a .yaml containing the values.

Example:

labels:
  scenarios.ai.sap.com/id: "<scenario-id>"
  ai.sap.com/version: "<version-number>"
annotations:
  scenarios.ai.sap.com/name: "<scenario-name>"
  executables.ai.sap.com/name: "<executable-name>"
image: <tag/docker-image-target>`
imagePullSecrets:
  - name: "<docker-repo-secret>"
envFrom:
  - secretRef:
      name: "<object-store-secret>"

To use the pipeline config during the creation process use the --pipeline-config options. E.g. sap_cv create-template <pipeline_name> -o/--output-file=<choose_name>.json --pipeline-config=pipeline_cfg.yaml.
