Serving a BMI Model
Custom model in Konduit-Serving with HTML content
Body Mass Index (BMI) is a well-used measure to describe weight status based on the ratio between an individual's height and weight. BMI is used to classify an individual's weight status as underweight, normal weight, overweight or obese. Even though this is a simple application to be used, it is necessary to monitor healthcare by providing weight status generally.
Findings from Pursey et al. and Stommel et al. showed that adults tend to self-report inaccurate BMI, overestimate their weight, and underestimate the weight. Time-consuming in measuring weight and height also one of the factors that contribute to this issue. Thus, the BMI model is introduced as a new approach for estimating BMI using facial images that contain facial features.
The model is deployed in Konduit-Serving through the pipeline server from pre-processing step of input until producing output that a human can understand. The backend server used for taking image data and providing BMI values is served using Konduit-Serving, a high-performance model pipeline server.
The main workflow we'll look at in this document is how to serve a model that can see at a person's face and respond with a BMI value through REST API. We'll also be setting up a web server through Konduit-Serving "custom endpoints" that will make use of a webcam and label the canvas with the detected face along with the corresponding estimated BMI value.
Note that gathering, preparing dataset and model training are out of the scope of this document. Assuming you're on notebook environment and opened
bmi-onnx-pytorch.ipynb.The notebook is ready to use from https://github.com/ShamsUlAzeem/konduit-serving-demo/blob/master/demos/6-bmi-onnx-pytorch/bmi-onnx-pytorch.ipynb. Please follow Quickstart guide to run the notebook.
Let's serve the model via Konduit-Serving with provided configuration file and python scripts. The
serve command is as following, serving id name (can be any other preferred name) is bmi-onnx-pytorch and configuration file is bmi-onnx-pytorch.yaml. %%bash
nohup konduit serve --serving-id bmi-onnx-pytorch --config bmi-onnx-pytorch.yaml &
Once the command committed, the server is started in Konduit-Serving. We are using Python Step in Pipeline from the configuration file,, where the step run by python scripts
init_script.py and run_script.py. The step calls the model, version-RFB-320.onnx from the model directory, konduit-serving-demo/demos/6-bmi-oonx-pytorch/modelsand perform the BMI classification based on facial feature captured on the test image. You can view any scripts, either configuration or python, by adding the cell on the notebook and run,%%bash
less bmi-onnx-pytorch.yaml
less run_script.py
The command to view the logs from the server is
konduit logs command, and we'll view the last 300 lines by using --lines flag with the command. By default, the konduit logs command will only preview ten lines of the logs. The command is like the following:%%bash
konduit logs bmi-onnx-pytorch --lines 300
You can view the logs output similar to below.
06:53:46.317 [main] INFO a.k.s.c.l.command.KonduitRunCommand - Processing configuration: /root/konduit/demos/6-bmi-onnx-pytorch/bmi-onnx-pytorch.yaml

06:53:48.703 [vert.x-eventloop-thread-0] INFO a.k.s.v.p.h.v.InferenceVerticleHttp - Inference HTTP server is listening on host: '0.0.0.0'

The
konduit list command is used to check the running server from Konduit-Serving. If you serve another model on the server, it will show more than one ID based on the specified given name. Run this command to view the list of the servers.%%bash
konduit list
We can display the test image for the inference result of the model. You'll be able to see the picture we provided as the testing image by running the following.
%%html
<img src="image_me.jpg"/>
Now, we want to make the inference of the testing image. The
konduit predict command is used to classify the BMI of the person in the testing image and classify the output based on the label of highest probability.%%bash
konduit predict bmi-onnx-pytorch --input-type multipart "[email protected]_me.jpg"
If we are viewing the configuration file, the post-processing (
CLASSIFIER_OUTPUT) is taking place to classify the output based on labels rendered from the output layer of the served model. You'll get a result similar to the following.{
"bmi_value" : 22.18,
"boxes" : [ 447.0, 174.0, 636.0, 470.0 ],
"predictions" : [ 0.0, 1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 ],
"prob" : 1.0,
"index" : 1,
"bmi_class" : "Normal_Range"
}
The test image is not limited to provide one, and you can use your testing image to make the inference. Let's do something interesting by following the next step.
You can demonstrate the served model with HTML content to view a dashboard and test the model with your camera. Let's move to the sub-section to find more.
Let's stop the server once finished to serve on Konduit-Serving.
%%bash
konduit stop bmi-onnx-pytorch
As the server is stopped, you'll see a message similar to the following.
Stopping konduit server 'bmi-onnx-pytorch'
Application 'bmi-onnx-pytorch' terminated with status 0
