Dear UIParh enthusiasts,

Did anybody manage to setup and use computer vision in standalone environment?

Thanks for any input regarding computer vision on premise.

Regards,

Hi Arsen,

Regarding to Computer Vision on on-prem environment you should install standalone CV server.

Cheers!

Thanks a lot, will go with your suggestion.

I was hoping for simple .msi setup :slight_smile:

Hello @arsen.ferizovic

There was (is) a Windows Installer to set up CV on-prem in a Windows OS as mentioned here. But, If I am not wrong, the model behind that setup is not up-to-date and the setup mentioned in the documentation shared by Jose is maintained and up-to-date.

Also, there’s another deployment option called CV Local Server. In short, CV model can be consumed locally through an activity pack. More about this here.

In case you need more details (and ICYMI) about different deployment options, data storage, security, etc…, Please refer to this and this.

Hi,
we went with UiPath.ComputerVision.LocalServer package in your Studio Project by using the Package Manager

Works fine.
Why would one deploy server? When you can have simple solution as installing package.

You can find a high-level comparison of the deployment options for Computer Vision here AI Computer Vision - Introduction

In my mind, the biggest advantage of the “Local Server” option is the stability (the results will always be the same given a fixed image, until you decide to upgrade the package and re-test), whereas the biggest drawback is speed + accuracy (which are almost guaranteed to always be better in the cloud or using an on-prem GPU CV server deployment). But you may find that the other comparison elements in that table are more relevant to you that what I’ve just said.

You don’t have to deploy a server like that. You can just use the UiPath.ComputerVision.LocalServer dependency. Then in Project Settings set Computer Vision to local server.

Thank you for reply!

For now, developers are happy with “UiPath.ComputerVision.LocalServer package” only.

We are currently 100% on premise, next step is to enable automation cloud and try to use Automation Hub and Process Mining in cloud. I Hope it is correct direction :wink:
