General Recognition AI API

The Chooch API is organized around REST. The API recognizes objects and concepts in videos and images from our pre-trained models.

The API is compatible with livestreams and live tagging.

 

Image Recognition API

The image recognition API is a straightforward REST API conducting classification and object detection predictions on images. The image URL is passed as a field to the API and the API returns a JSON based response with relevant predictions.

  • status: Status of the API request. When successful the status is “ok”. For error messages see last section.
  • predictions: Predictions made on the image. Predictions are provided as a list and have class_title and order fields.class_title is the name of the class predicted, and order is the order of relevancy of the particular class.
  • sub_predictions: Predictions made under dense classification. The image or frame is segmented into parts and classified based on the segments.
  • text_value: Text predictions.
  • face_name: Facial recognition name predictions.
  • face_count: Sum of faces.
  • coordinates: Coordinates of the object based on pixels. The format for the coordinates is X1, X2, Y1, Y2.
  • count: The number of times an object or concept appears in an image or a frame.
  • fileid: Unique File ID created for the image. The File ID is to identify the image for future references.
    In this example it is ec7995bb557d4416ab97b819917fc18c

Video Recognition API

The video recognition API is a REST API indexing videos every second. The API consists of 2 parts: 1) send video and 2) search. The indexing begins by sending the video. After sending the video, the indexed data can be viewed through the search API.

SAMPLE INPUT (VIDEO)

The following is a sample send video URL for indexing to begin:

https://api.chooch.ai/predict/video?url=https://s3.amazonaws.com/choochvideo/51.mp4&apikey=346g5717-1sd3-35h6-9104-b8h5c819dn19

API input fields are:

  • url: URL of the video file. In this example it is https://s3.amazonaws.com/choochvideo/51.mp4
  • apikey: API key provided by Chooch. In this example it is 346g5717-1sd3-35h6-9104-b8h5c819dn19

SAMPLE OUTPUT (VIDEO)

The sample JSON response is:

{
    url: "https://s3.amazonaws.com/choochvideo/51.mp4",
    status: "Success (Video is being indexed)",
    predicttype: "video",
    fileid: "55de9d9ce1e2469da3a420a7b4de9397"
}

The response fields are:

  • url: URL of the video file.
  • status: Status of the API request. When successful the status is “Success (Video is being indexed)”. For errors see last section.
  • predicttype: Predict type is video for videos.
  • fileid: Unique File ID created for the video. The File ID is to identify the indexed video for future reference and searches within the video. In this example it is 55de9d9ce1e2469da3a420a7b4de9397

VIEWING INDEXED VIDEO

After the video is indexed, the indexed data can be viewed through the search API by using the File ID of the video. The following is a sample API request URL for viewing indexed data.

https://api.chooch.ai/predict/search?fileid=55de9d9ce1e2469da3a420a7b4de9397&apikey=346g5717-1sd3-35h6-9104-b8h5c819dn19

API input fields are:

  • apikey: : API key provided by Chooch. In this example it is 346g5717-1sd3-35h6-9104-b8h5c819dn19
  • fileid: Unique File ID created for the video. The File ID is to identify the indexed video for future reference and searches within the video. In this example it is 55de9d9ce1e2469da3a420a7b4de9397

The sample JSON response is:

  • coordinates: Coordinates of the object based on pixels. The format for the coordinates are X1, X2, Y1, Y2.
  • count: The number of times an object or concept appears in an image or a frame.
  • fileid: Unique File ID created for the video. The File ID is to identify the indexed video for future reference and searches within the video. In this example it is 55de9d9ce1e2469da3a420a7b4de9397
  • indexstatus: Status of video index. When complete the status is “Success (Video Has Been Indexed)”. For errors see next section.
  • seconds: Each second in the video is indexed. Each item is a second in the video and there are predictions for every second, similar to the image prediction API. Each item has a second and predictions field. Predictions for every second are listed in the predictions field with the class_title and order fields.

GENERAL STATUS MESSAGES

  • ok
  • Error (Wrong Parameters)
  • Error (Invalid API Key)
  • Error (You Have Reached Your Trial API Call Limit)
  • Error (No File)

VIDEO INDEX STATUS MESSAGES

  • Waiting to Be Processed
  • In Process Error Occurred (Not Valid Video File)
  • Error Occurred (Reached Your API Call Limit)
  • Success (Video Has Been Indexed)

FTP DROP FUNCTION

The FTP drop function was developed on top of the Chooch API for image and video professionals who want to tag their images and videos autonomously. For every client a personal FTP host is issued together with the API.

  • FTP Host: ftp://52.207.237.100
  • API Key: 6werc42-1675-6553-8105

The FTP drop sends the image to the API. The API predicts the image and places the results in the keywords field of the IPTC metadata file. Once the metadata has been successfully placed into the keywords fields of the IPTC file, it is sent to the destination directed by the user.

Custom Facial Recognition API

Chooch Face Recognition consists of Perception > People > Images

You can search and tag a face in the Chooch API by feeding the Chooch API a Face Image. Below is a sample post of an image url.

SAMPLE OUTPUT (IMAGE)

https://api.chooch.ai/predict/face?url=https://choochdashboard.s3.amazonaws.com/base_site/1461123713-esq050116cover001s.jpg&person_id_filter=-1&model_id=14&apikey=346g5717-1sd3-35h6-9104-b8h5c819dn19

The fields are:

  • url: This is the image url of the face to be searched.
    In this example it is https://choochdashboard.s3.amazonaws.com/base_site/1461123713-esq050116cover001s.jpg
  • person_id_filter: This field is a filter that is optional to pass. The default -1 which means don’t filter by person. If a valid person_id is passed, Chooch will search only in that given person’s data.
    In this example it is -1
  • model_id: This is the id of the perception that the search will be made on. This field is required.
    In this example it is 14

You can also post an image through the image field. Below are 2 separate sample posts in python.
