- Brain Builder for AITRIOS Application: Download and install the Brain Builder for AITRIOS application.
- Compatible Computer: You’ll need a computer that meets the minimum specifications for running Brain Builder for AITRIOS smoothly. These specs include:
- Processing:
- CPU: Intel i7, at least 2GHz or better
- GPU: minimum Nvidia GTX 10xx (8+GB VRAM) but recommended Nvidia RTX 20xx, 30xx, 40xx (10+GB VRAM)
- RAM: At least 16GB but recommended 32GB or better
- Operating System: Windows 10/11 or Ubuntu 20.04/22.04
- Processing:
Optional: A Raspberry Pi AI Camera allows you to run your trained models directly on the edge, ideal for real-time applications that don’t require constant internet connectivity.
Now let’s cover the different model types available with Brain Builder
Classifier
- Purpose: Categorizes the entire image or a specific region into predefined classes.
- Output: Labels in order of confidence (e.g., "Apple: 80%, Peach: 40%").
- Use Cases:
- Sorting images of products into categories (e.g., fruits: apple, orange, banana).
- Classifying X-rays as "healthy" or "abnormal."
- Key Feature: Works on the whole image; does not locate specific objects. Faster and more accurate for categorizing a specific task.
Detector
- Purpose: Identifies and locates multiple objects within an image.
- Output: Bounding boxes around detected objects, each with a label and confidence score (e.g., "Car: 90%" at (x, y)).
- Use Cases:
- Detecting vehicles and pedestrians in a street scene.
- Counting items on a conveyor belt (e.g., "3 apples, 2 oranges").
- Key Feature: Finds where objects are and what they are.
Anomaly Recognizer
- Purpose: Determines whether an image is "normal" or "anomalous." Advanced models can highlight anomaly locations.
- Output:
- Simple models: A binary label (e.g., "Normal" or "Anomalous").
- Advanced models: A heatmap highlighting specific areas with anomalies.
- Use Cases:
- Inspecting manufacturing parts for defects.
- Detecting irregularities in medical scans or quality control images.
- Key Feature: Focuses on detecting deviations or problems, often with visual feedback.
Model Type | Primary Task | Output | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
Model Type Classifier | Primary Task Categorization | Output Labels in order of confidence | Best for Identifying General Category |
Model Type Detector | Primary Task Object Detection and Location | Output Multiple Labels + locations | Best for Finding/counting objects |
Model Type Anomaly Recognizer | Primary Task Detecting and highlighting anomalies | Output Binary label + optional heatmap | Best for Spotting defects or irregularities |
For each model type Brain Builder for AITRIOS also gives you access to settings to improve your created Brain. These include:
Model Type | Duration | Occurrence of False Positives | Defect Size |
|---|---|---|---|
Model Type Classifier | Duration X | Occurrence of False Positives X | Defect Size |
Model Type Detector | Duration X | Occurrence of False Positives X | Defect Size |
Model Type Anomaly Recognizer | Duration X | Occurrence of False Positives | Defect Size X |
The Classifier, Detector and Anomaly Recognizer types allow you change the duration of the build process. Here is a little more about the duration option.
Option | Testing Scope | Processing Time | Use Case |
|---|---|---|---|
Option Quick | Testing Scope Small subset of uploaded images | Processing Time Fast | Use Case Rapid prototyping, quick feedback |
Option Balanced | Testing Scope Most available uploaded images | Processing Time Moderate | Use Case Balanced approach, reliable results, moderate time |
Option Thorough | Testing Scope All uploaded images | Processing Time Longest | Use Case Maximum accuracy, high-stakes projects that need precise results |
The Classifier and Detector types allow you change the Performance of your build model. Here is a little more about the Performance option.
Performance Option | Focus | Idea For |
|---|---|---|
Performance Option Highest Average Accuracy | Focus Balances accuracy and false positives | Idea For General use cases needing balanced performance |
Performance Option Highest Accuracy | Focus Prioritizes correct detections by relaxing criteria | Idea For Capturing as many true positives as possible |
Performance Option Lowest Occurrence Rate of False Positives | Focus Reduces false positives with stricter criteria | Idea For Applications where minimizing false positives is critical |
The Anomaly Detector gives you the ability to change the Defect Size. Here is a little more about the defect size option
Defect Size Option | Focus | Ideal for |
|---|---|---|
Defect Size Option Optimize for Dataset | Focus Automatically selects the optimal size based on the dataset. | Ideal for General use cases with varied defect sizes. |
Defect Size Option Regular | Focus Targets small defects, offering precise detection. | Ideal for Applications where small flaws are critical. |
Defect Size Option Coarse | Focus Focuses on larger defects for faster processing. | Ideal for Scenarios where large defects are the priority. |
