CloudCore Overview

Cogniac CloudCore System Concepts

Cogniac CloudCore system is a powerful tool that uses Deep Learning to automate visual observation tasks such as classifying, detecting, counting, locating, and measuring objects, actions, or conditions in images or videos.

Media

Media refers to still images or video. It can be uploaded into the Cogniac system via various methods, such as the API, web application, mobile application, or EdgeFlow gateway systems. The Cogniac system can also actively acquire media from external sources, such as network cameras or machine vision cameras.

Applications

An application is a unit of work that performs a single visual task. The Cogniac system supports various application types, including classification, detection, measurement, localization, and counting. Many of these applications are based on deep convolutional neural network models that have been trained to perform specific tasks.

Subjects

A subject is a user-defined concept that is used to group, manage, and route media within the Cogniac system. Subjects are typically related to the goals of the visual observation task that is being automated. For example, a subject could be "defective gears" or "cats with mouse in mouth."

Data Flow

Media flows through the Cogniac system via subjects and applications. In the simplest case, media is uploaded into an input subject and processed by an application. The application then associates the media with an output subject, which can be used as input for another application. This allows for complex processing pipelines to be created.

For more information on specific application workflows, please refer to the Cogniac Applications documentation.

Data Security

Cogniac takes Data Security seriously and follows industry best practices to protect your data. We use a private tenant architecture model, meaning each customer's data is siloed and isolated from other customers. This ensures that only the users you invite to your tenant can access your media, subjects, applications, and associated data.

Quick Setup

Users create tenants and virtual workspaces for storing and managing media and applications. Users can then invite other users to join the tenant. Once the tenant is created, users can create their first application.

Application Training

Add media to the application by uploading it to an input subject or capturing it from a live stream. Provide feedback on the media to train the application to automatically detect, measure, or count the items of interest.

Detect Items or Conditions of Interest

The application generates detections as media is uploaded or captured into the input subjects. These detections can be automated or human-generated, created from items of interest within the user's visual media.
