Deploy & Predict with Supervisely SDK

This section involves using Python code together with Supervisely SDK to automate deployment and inference in different scenarios and environments. Supervisely also has a convenient Prediction API that allows you to deploy models and get predictions in a couple of lines of code (check our Tutorial). In this tutorial you will deploy models directly on your local machine. This is a more advanced variant, it can slightly differ from one model to another, because you need to set up python environment by yourself, but the main code of loading model and getting predictions will be the same.

There are several approaches of how you can deploy and apply your model locally:

Load and Predict in Your Code: Load your checkpoint and get predictions in your code or in a script.
Deploy Model as a Server: Deploy your model as a server on your machine, and interact with it through API requests.
🐋 Deploy in Docker Container: Deploy model as a server in a docker container on your local machine.
Deploy Model as a Serving App with web UI: Deploy model as a server with a web UI and interact with it through API. ❓ - This feature is mostly for debugging and testing purposes.

Load and Predict in Your Code

This example shows how to load your checkpoint and get predictions in any of your code. RT-DETRv2 is used in this example, but the instructions are similar for other models.

1. Clone repository

Clone our RT-DETRv2 fork with the model implementation.

git clone https://github.com/supervisely-ecosystem/RT-DETRv2
cd RT-DETRv2

2. Set up environment

Install requirements.txt manually, or use our pre-built docker image (DockerHub | Dockerfile). Additionally, you need to install Supervisely SDK.

pip install -r rtdetrv2_pytorch/requirements.txt
pip install supervisely

3. Download checkpoint

Download your checkpoint and model files from Team Files.

4. Predict

Create main.py file in the root of the repository and paste the following code:

import numpy as np
from PIL import Image
import os
import supervisely as sly
from supervisely.nn import ModelSource, RuntimeType

# Be sure you are in the root of the RT-DETRv2 repository
from supervisely_integration.serve.rtdetrv2 import RTDETRv2

# Put your path to image here
IMAGE_PATH = "sample_image.jpg"

# Model config and weights (downloaded from Team Files)
model_files = {
    "checkpoint": "model/rtdetrv2_r18vd_120e_coco_rerun_48.1.pth",
    "config": "model/rtdetrv2_r18vd_120e_coco.yml",
}

# JSON model meta with class names (downloaded from Team Files)
model_meta = sly.io.json.load_json_file("model/model_meta.json")

# Load model
model = RTDETRv2()
model.load_custom_checkpoint(
    model_files=model_files,
    model_meta=model_meta,
    device="cuda",
)

# Load image
image = Image.open(IMAGE_PATH).convert("RGB")
img = np.array(image)

# Predict
ann = model.inference(img, settings={"confidence_threshold": 0.5})

# Draw predictions
ann.draw_pretty(img)
Image.fromarray(img).save("prediction.jpg")

This code will load the model, predict the image, and save the result to prediction.jpg.

If you need to run the code in your project and not in the root of the repository, you can add the path to the repository into PYTHONPATH, or by the following lines at the beginning of the script:

import sys
sys.path.append("/path/to/RT-DETRv2")

Deploy Model as a Server

In this variant, you will deploy a model locally as an API Server with the help of Supervisely SDK. The server will be ready to process API request for inference. It allows you to predict with local images, folders, videos, or remote supervisely projects and datasets (if you provided your Supervisely API token).

1. Clone repository

Clone our RT-DETRv2 fork with the model implementation.

git clone https://github.com/supervisely-ecosystem/RT-DETRv2
cd RT-DETRv2

2. Set up environment

Install requirements manually, or use our pre-built docker image (DockerHub | Dockerfile).

pip install -r rtdetrv2_pytorch/requirements.txt
pip install supervisely

3. Download checkpoint (optional)

You can skip this step and pass a remote path to checkpoint in Team Files.

Download your checkpoint, model files and experiment_info.json from Team Files or the whole artifacts directory.

You can place downloaded files in the folder within app repo, for example you can create models folder inside root directory of the repository and place all files there.

Your repo should look like this:

📦app-repo-root
 ┣ 📂models
 ┃ ┗ 📂392_RT-DETRv2
 ┃   ┣ 📂checkpoints
 ┃   ┃ ┗ 🔥best.pth
 ┃   ┣ 📜experiment_info.json
 ┃   ┣ 📜model_config.yml
 ┃   ┗ 📜model_meta.json
 ┗ ... other app repository files

4. Deploy

To deploy, use main.py script to start the server. You need to pass the path to your checkpoint file or the name of the pretrained model using --model argument. Like in the previous example, you need to add the path to the repository into PYTHONPATH.

PYTHONPATH="${PWD}:${PYTHONPATH}" \
python ./supervisely_integration/serve/main.py deploy \
--model "./models/392_RT-DETRv2/checkpoints/best.pth"

This command will start the server on http://0.0.0.0:8000 and will be ready to accept API requests for inference.

Arguments description

mode - (required) mode of operation, can be deploy or predict.
--model - name of a model from pre-trained models table (see models.json), or a path to your custom checkpoint file either local path or remote path in Team Files. If not provided the first model from the models table will be loaded.
--device - device to run the model on, can be cpu or cuda.
--runtime - runtime to run the model on, can be PyTorch, ONNXRuntime or TensorRT if supported.
--settings - inference settings, can be a path to a .json, yaml, yml file or a list of key-value pairs e.g. --settings confidence_threshold=0.5.

PYTHONPATH="${PWD}:${PYTHONPATH}" \
python ./supervisely_integration/serve/main.py deploy \
  --model "RT-DETRv2-S" \
  --device cuda \
  --settings confidence_threshold=0.5

For custom model use the path to the checkpoint file:

PYTHONPATH="${PWD}:${PYTHONPATH}" \
python ./supervisely_integration/serve/main.py deploy \
  --model "./models/392_RT-DETRv2/checkpoints/best.pth" \
  --device cuda \
  --settings confidence_threshold=0.5

If you are a VSCode user you can use the following configurations for your launch.json file:

.vscode/launch.json

{
    "version": "0.2.0",
    "configurations": [
    {
      "name": "Local Deploy with local directory",
      "type": "debugpy",
      "request": "launch",
      "program": "${workspaceFolder}/supervisely_integration/serve/main.py",
      "console": "integratedTerminal",
      "justMyCode": false,
      "args": [
        "deploy",
        "--model",
        "models/392_RT-DETRv2/checkpoints/best.pth",
      ],
      "env": {
        "PYTHONPATH": "${workspaceFolder}:${PYTHONPATH}",
        "LOG_LEVEL": "DEBUG"
      }
    },
    {
      "name": "Local Deploy with remote directory",
      "type": "debugpy",
      "request": "launch",
      "program": "${workspaceFolder}/supervisely_integration/serve/main.py",
      "console": "integratedTerminal",
      "justMyCode": false,
      "args": [
        "deploy",
        "--model",
        "/experiments/27_Lemons/392_RT-DETRv2/checkpoints/best.pth",
      ],
      "env": {
        "PYTHONPATH": "${workspaceFolder}:${PYTHONPATH}",
        "LOG_LEVEL": "DEBUG",
        "TEAM_ID": "4",
      }
    }
    ]
}

5. Predict

After the model is deployed, use Supervisely Inference Session API with setting server address to http://0.0.0.0:8000.

import os
from dotenv import load_dotenv
import supervisely as sly

load_dotenv(os.path.expanduser("~/supervisely.env"))
api = sly.Api()

# Create Inference Session
session = sly.nn.inference.Session(api, session_url="http://0.0.0.0:8000")

# local image
pred = session.inference_image_path("image_01.jpg")

# batch of images
pred = session.inference_image_paths(["image_01.jpg", "image_02.jpg"])

# remote image on the platform
pred = session.inference_image_id(17551748)
pred = session.inference_image_ids([17551748, 17551750])

# image url
url = "https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1674552791148-c756b0899dba?ixlib=rb-4.0.3&ixid=MnwxMjA3fDB8MHxwaG90by1wYWdlfHx8fGVufDB8fHx8&auto=format&fit=crop&w=387&q=80"
pred = session.inference_image_url(url)

Predict with CLI

Instead of using the Session, you can deploy and predict in one command.

PYTHONPATH="${PWD}:${PYTHONPATH}" \
python ./supervisely_integration/serve/main.py predict "./image.jpg"

You can predict both local images or data on Supervisely platform. By default predictions will be saved to ./predictions directory, you can change it with --output argument.

To predict data on the platform use one of the following arguments:

--project_id - id of Supervisely project to predict. If use --upload a new project with predictions will be created on the platform.
--dataset_id - id(s) of Supervisely dataset(s) to predict e.g. --dataset_id "505,506". If use --upload a new project with predictions will be created on the platform.
--image_id - id of Supervisely image to predict. If --upload is passed, prediction will be added to the provided image.

You can specify additional settings:

--output - a local directory where predictions will be saved.
--upload - upload predictions to the platform. Works only with: --project_id, --dataset_id, --image_id.
--draw - save image with prediction visualization in --output-dir. Works only with: input and --image_id.

Example to predict with CLI arguments:

PYTHONPATH="${PWD}:${PYTHONPATH}" \
python ./supervisely_integration/serve/main.py predict \
  "./image.jpg" \
  --model "RT-DETRv2-S" \
  --device cuda \
  --settings confidence_threshold=0.5

Server will shut down automatically after the prediction is done.

🐋 Deploy in Docker Container

Deploying in a Docker Container is similar to deployment as a Server. This example is useful when you need to run your model on a remote machine or in a cloud environment.

Use this docker run command to deploy a model in a docker container (RT-DETRv2 example):

docker run \
  --shm-size=1g \
  --runtime=nvidia \
  --env-file ~/supervisely.env \
  --env PYTHONPATH=/app \
  -v ".:/app" \
  -w /app \
  -p 8000:8000 \
  supervisely/rt-detrv2:1.0.11 \
  python3 supervisely_integration/serve/main.py deploy \
  --model "/experiments/27_Lemons/392_RT-DETRv2/checkpoints/best.pth"

Put your path to the checkpoint file in the --model argument (it can be both the local path or a remote path in Team Files). This will start FastAPI server and load the model for inference. The server will be available on http://localhost:8000.

docker compose

You can also use docker-compose.yml file for convenience:

services:
  rtdetrv2:
    image: supervisely/rt-detrv2:1.0.11
    shm_size: 1g
    runtime: nvidia
    env_file:
      - ~/supervisely.env # Optional, use only for predictions on the platform
    environment:
      - PYTHONPATH=/app
    volumes:
      - .:/app
    working_dir: /app
    ports:
      - "8000:8000"
    expose:
      - "8000"
    entrypoint: [ "python3", "supervisely_integration/serve/main.py" ]
    command: [ "deploy", "--model", "./models/392_RT-DETRv2/checkpoints/best.pth" ]

Predict

After the model is deployed, you can use the Session object for inference (Inference Session API) or use CLI arguments to get predictions.

Deploy and Predict with CLI arguments

You can use the same arguments as seen in the previous deploy and predict sections for running docker container.

Example to deploy model as a server:

docker run \
  --shm-size=1g \
  --runtime=nvidia \
  --env-file ~/supervisely.env \
  --env PYTHONPATH=/app \
  -v ".:/app" \
  -w /app \
  -p 8000:8000 \
  supervisely/rt-detrv2:1.0.11 \
  python3 supervisely_integration/serve/main.py deploy \
  --model "RT-DETRv2-S"

Example to predict with CLI arguments:

docker run \
  --shm-size=1g \
  --runtime=nvidia \
  --env-file ~/supervisely.env \
  --env PYTHONPATH=/app \
  -v ".:/app" \
  -w /app \
  -p 8000:8000 \
  supervisely/rt-detrv2:1.0.11 \
  python3 supervisely_integration/serve/main.py \
  predict "./image.jpg" \
  --model "RT-DETRv2-S" \
  --device cuda \
  --settings confidence_threshold=0.5

Container will be stopped automatically after the prediction is done.

Deploy Model as a Serving App with web UI

In this variant, you will run a full Serving App with web UI, in which you can deploy a model. This is useful for debugging and testing purposes, for example, when you're integrating your Custom Inference App with the Supervisely Platform.

Follow the steps from the previous section, but instead of running the server, you need to run the following command:

Deploy

uvicorn main:model.app --app-dir supervisely_integration/serve --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000 --ws websockets

After the app is started, you can open the web UI http://localhost:8000, and deploy a model through the web interface.

Predict

Use the same SessionAPI to get predictions with the server address http://localhost:8000.

import os
from dotenv import load_dotenv
import supervisely as sly

load_dotenv(os.path.expanduser("~/supervisely.env"))
api = sly.Api()

# Create Inference Session
session = sly.nn.inference.Session(api, session_url="http://localhost:8000")

# local image
pred = session.inference_image_path("image_01.jpg")

# batch of images
pred = session.inference_image_paths(["image_01.jpg", "image_02.jpg"])

# remote image on the platform
pred = session.inference_image_id(17551748)
pred = session.inference_image_ids([17551748, 17551750])

# image url
url = "https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1674552791148-c756b0899dba?ixlib=rb-4.0.3&ixid=MnwxMjA3fDB8MHxwaG90by1wYWdlfHx8fGVufDB8fHx8&auto=format&fit=crop&w=387&q=80"
pred = session.inference_image_url(url)
