EdgeAI Studio

# Pipelines

A pipeline is a sequence of processes to input, manipulate, train, detect, output and/or integrate image data. EdgeAI Studio is a tool to manipulate blocks in the pipeline.

Basic operation

Each pipeline runs from left to right. The left white dot is the input to the block, while the right one is the output from the block.

You can drag or click a block in the left-hand side menu. Then, you can drag the right dot of a block to the left dot of the other block.

TIP

To remove a connection, you can click the triple-dot button in the top-right corner of the block. Then select to remove either the block, the source or destination connection.

# What is a block?

A block can be an input, a processing unit, or an output. A block can connect to multiple upstream or downstream blocks.

Blocks are grouped by its functions.

Augmentation Crop, Resize, Redact, Blur, Black and white, Mask, Rotate, Flip

# Fork

If you are not the author of the pipeline, you cannot edit the pipeline. Instead, you can fork the pipeline under your author name. Forking is completely transparent.

After forking, the new pipeline will receive a new Pipeline ID.

If the same pipeline name has been used in your repository, the pipeline can still be forked.

# Public and private

In the Community version, all created pipelines are automatically assigned under the Creative Commons license. Therefore, your pipeline content would be shared among all other users publicly.

WARNING

If you do not want to share the content with other users, please do not save the pipeline.

TIP

If you want to use Studio Community but do not want to share the pipeline, you can always download the editing pipeline locally as a JSON file.

To load it, you can use the Open button to upload the saved JSON file.

In the Business and Enterprise version, your pipelines can be chosen to store privately or publicly.
