ModelArts Pro is a professional development suite for enterprise AI applications. Based on advanced algorithms and fast training capabilities of Huawei Cloud, it provides preset workflows and models to improve the efficiency and ease the development of enterprise AI applications.

ModelArts Pro provides visual kits, which are designed to help customers in various industries to quickly develop visual AI applications that meet their business demands. At the same time, it supports customers to independently arrange workflow, quickly realize the development and deployment of AI applications, and improve the development efficiency of visual AI.

Preset workflow

  • Retail item identification workflow

In scenarios such as supermarkets and retail stores, the product categories are updated quickly, and the product identification technology will greatly improve the product optimization and operation efficiency. ModelArts Pro provides retail product identification workflow, providing you with high-precision product identification algorithm to improve the efficiency of new product launch of retail products.

  • Hot rolled steel surface defect detection workflow

In steel plant, the material of steel plate, heat treatment process and use environment and other external factors will affect the service life of steel plate, and these external factors lead to steel plate defects. The study of the defect type on the surface of steel plate is crucial to the service life of steel plate. ModelArts Pro provides the hot-rolled steel plate surface defect detection workflow and high-precision steel plate surface defect identification algorithm to improve the online efficiency of steel plate surface defect detection scenarios.

  • Cloud identification workflow

Observing the external shape of cloud, that is, the shape and structure of cloud and the height of cloud base, has an important influence on the prediction of weather change. ModelArts Pro provides cloud recognition workflow, providing you with high precision cloud recognition algorithm, predicting weather changes through the external shape of clouds.

  • Brake disc identification workflow

In the manufacturing of auto parts, dozens or hundreds of different models of products are often produced at the same time. Whether these parts can be sorted efficiently and accurately before leaving the factory is particularly important for the benefits of the enterprise. ModelArts Pro provides a brake disc identification workflow, which can identify the categories of brake discs quickly and accurately by building a brake disc identification model.

  • Unsupervised license plate detection workflow

License plate detection and recognition technology for intelligent traffic management, improve the stability of traffic law enforcement is of great significance. ModelArts Pro provides the workflow of unsupervised license plate detection. Based on the high-precision unsupervised license plate detection algorithm, users do not need to label data, which greatly reduces the labeling cost and improves the online efficiency of license plate detection scene.

Special advantage

  • A variety of scenarios, covering retail, industrial, weather, traffic and other scenarios.

  • The process of model training and updating is automatic, and it is easy to update the model.

  • Specialized domain models that accurately identify and understand image content.

  • The model can be continuously optimized based on feedback during use.

Zero code for building visual applications

Step 1: Open the suite

Currently, The Visual suite of ModelArts Pro is in the open test stage, and the first use of the visual suite requires open test permission.

Log in to the ModelArts Pro console, select the industry kit card, click “Apply for Open test”, and fill in the required information as prompted on the open test application page.

After the application is complete, click Go to My Open Test. The My Open Test page is displayed. When Approval Status changes to Approved, you have obtained the public test permission for the industry suite.

Step 2: Delegate

When you use ModelArts Pro, ModelArts Pro needs to delegate authorization to access the cloud resources of ModelArts services. Without authorization, relevant functions cannot be used.

If the ModelArts delegate and access key (AK/SK) authorization are not obtained, the “Access Authorization” dialog box will pop up when entering the Industry suite of the ModelArts Pro Console.

In the Access Authorization dialog box that is displayed, enter the authorization information and click Grant.

User Name is the name of the user to be authorized. Retain the default value.

Select modelarts_agency for Delegate.

Check “I have read and agree to the ModelArts Service Statement”.

Step 3: Create the application

Based on your industry and application scenario, select a matching workflow to create your application.

1. On the ModelArts Pro Console interface, click Enter Kit on the NATURAL Language Processing Kit card.

Go to the Visual Suite console.

2. In the navigation tree, choose Application Development > Workbench.

The My Apps TAB page is displayed by default.

3. On the My Application TAB page, click New Application.

The New Application page is displayed.

Note You can also click My Workflow, switch to the My Workflow TAB, select a workflow, and click New Application on the card.

4. Set Application Name, Application Owner, and Application Description based on service requirements, select Industry and workflow, and set Asset Configuration based on the selected workflow.

5. Confirm the information and click OK.

The application is successfully created.

Step 4: Develop and launch the app

Complete the workflow according to the process guidelines and release the application online.

Retail item Identification workflow:

Hot-rolled steel plate surface defect Detection workflow:

Cloud identification workflow

Brake disc identification workflow

Unsupervised license plate detection workflow

Step 5: Iterative optimization

Maintain the application and continue to optimize iterations.

Retail + ModelArts Pro

Because the bar code cannot be pasted on the cake, it is necessary to manually memorize a large number of cake codes for settlement, which is prone to checkout errors and long queues for customers.

The self-service goods checkout application developed based on ModelArts Pro can automatically identify goods and greatly shorten the checkout waiting time.

The features of automatic learning and automatic training allow businesses to update the application independently, and new products can be launched on the same day.

Industrial + ModelArts Pro

The identification of the proportion difference in shape, size, outline, texture and aperture of auto parts usually requires manual work, which consumes a lot of labor costs and process costs.

The self-service sorting application developed based on ModelArts Pro can automatically identify various auto parts, greatly reduce the consumption of human and material resources, and improve the economic value of the production line.

With the support of iteration ability, users can realize the update of identification application by uploading pictures of new parts by themselves.
