Offline ComputerVision

[arisarnado]

Hello UiPath Team,

I have the following questions regarding CV or ComputerVision:
(1) I would like to know what are the possible ways in order for ComputerVision to work offline?

(2) Is it possible to stop using ComputerVision in the first place and use an alternative? Can you tell me possible alternatives?

Thank you and best regards.

(1) ComputerVision : you can explore on-device computer vision libraries and frameworks such as OpenCV or custom machine learning models deployed locally.

(2) Yes, it’s possible to use alternatives to ComputerVision, including OpenCV, TensorFlow, PyTorch, and custom machine learning models, depending on your specific use case and requirements.

cheers…!

Thank you for your response.
I have a follow-up question. Before these alternative learning models can be used by UiPath, I will need to deploy an on-premise Orchestrator? Or are there alternative ways?

Regarding 1), you could take a look at UiPath’s documentation on Computer Vision Local Server Package.

@arisarnado

would like to know what are the possible ways in order for ComputerVision to work offline?

Basically there are 3 available CV deployments, all free of charge:

• Cloud CV, which uses our servers. To use this method, you’ll need to log into Automation Cloud and get the API key from Admin > Licenses > Services
• On-prem CV server – requires a dedicated machine with GPU
• Local/robot CV – detections are performed on the robot that runs the automation, so no server required, but it slightly slower, has a lower accuracy, and a few features are unavailable.

With on-premise version of the ML model which allows AI Computer Vision to be used without internet connection. If you’re interested, please email insider-preview@uipath.com and we’ll follow up soon with the details/documentation

Is it possible to stop using ComputerVision in the first place and use an alternative? Can you tell me possible alternatives?

Yes we can and we have alternatives

1. You can do simple image automation
   Studio - Example of Using OCR and Image Automation

Studio - Image Activities

2. Other than that you can interact with hot keys

And finally on this

@arisarnado

have a follow-up question. Before these alternative learning models can be used by UiPath, I will need to deploy an on-premise Orchestrator? Or are there alternative ways?

For many of the alternative learning models and AI services that can be integrated with UiPath, deploying an on-premise Orchestrator may not be a strict requirement. The need for an Orchestrator largely depends on the specific AI service or library you intend to use and the use case you have in mind.

Hope this clarifies

Hope it’s clarified
If yes would recommend to close this topic
