Arcgis.learn: how to run detection/Inference?

Question

Hi All,

I could train a SSD model, got the emd and dlpk using arcgis.learn. However, it was not clear in the docs how to run Object detection using pre-trained model with arcgis.learn. I don't have Image Analyst extension so I'm looking for a way to run detection without it?

Thank you very much!

Kind regards,

Lan

I think that file is used by the ArcGIS geoprocessing tools to know how to run the model - kind of like an instruction guide or something? It looks like it sets up what parameters are shown in the tool and also how the outputs are returned.

Hi Tim,

Thanks for reply! I have not try that predict() and I will try it now.

I'm just stepping into this world and my questions may sounds stupid 🙂

When I saved a model, I found the ArcGISObjectDetection.py file in the model folder. I have tried to search for it but could not find and docs related to this file, what is it and how to use it. None of the tutorials I crossed mentions this python file. Do you have any idea what is for?

Thanks!

Lan

Hi Lan, there is a predict function in arcgis.learn for SSD, have you tried that? It takes in an image and returns a list of bounding boxes for the detections.
