Idea

Implement a component that can detect objects within images.
The following is a rough and not complete list of bits and pieces to (hopefully) achieve this:

• Run a model like EfficientDet (https://github.com/google/automl/tree/master/efficientdet) for object detection
• Possibly use a model runtime / environment like Nvidia Triton
• Provide a gRPC API for communication
• Package this component into a container (K3s?)

Services

• Inference
  • Input: Image (e.g. base64-coded)
  • Output: List of detected objects (identified by class and bounding box within the image)
• Status / Monitoring?
• Control?
