3. ⬆️ Uploading and processing your first video

This step assumes that you completed the previous two steps:

  1. Signing up for a Tenyks account
  2. Configuring your video source

Let's verify that we are in the correct workspace

workspace_key = "gabriel_data_workspace_976264f4"
tenyks.set_workspace(workspace_key)

""" Output
2024-09-26 17:08:27,748 - Tenyks - INFO - Workspace set to 'gabriel_data_workspace_976264f4'.
INFO:Tenyks:Workspace set to 'gabriel_data_workspace_976264f4'.
"""

We create a dataset:

  • In Tenyks, a dataset is composed of images and annotations.
  • For videos, we don't require annotations: the system will actually extract images (i.e., frames) from the video itself duing the uploading phase.
dataset = tenyks.create_dataset(
    "paris_train_station"
)

We set our AWS credentials based on the user we described in Section 2.1.1.

aws_access_key_id = "***************"
aws_secret_access_key = "****************************"
region_name = "us-east-2"

my_credentials = AWSCredentials(
    aws_access_key_id=aws_access_key_id,
    aws_secret_access_key=aws_secret_access_key,
    region_name=region_name
)

In s3_uri, make sure you only define the address up to the folder that contain the video.

  • For instance, for a video on s3://mytenyksbucket/datasets/surveillance.mp4, we only require: s3://mytenyksbucket/datasets/
aws_video_location = AWSLocation(  
    type="aws_s3",  
    s3_uri="s3://mytenyksbucket/paris_train_station/",  
    credentials=my_credentials,  
)

Now, let's ingest our video:

  • subsampling frequency: How many frames per second (fps) are sampled or processed from the video.
  • frames to subsample: This specifies the total number of frames after the initial sampling.
  • ['person']: This list contains the categories or labels that you want the object detection algorithm to look for within the video frames.
  • confidence threshold: Numerical value that sets the minimum confidence level for considering a detected object as valid. A confidence threshold of 0.005 means that if the object detection algorithm predicts an object (e.g., a person) with a confidence score lower than 0.005, that detection will be ignored.

Note that the product of subsampling frequency * frames to subsample should be EQUAL or LESS than the total number of seconds of your video.

dataset.upload_videos_from_cloud_and_ingest(
    aws_video_location,   # aws credentials and s3_uri
    1,                    # subsampling frequency
    100,                  # frames to subsample
    ['person', 'train'],  # prompts for object detection
    0.005                 # object detection confidence threshold
)

We can verify the status of our dataset with get_dataset()

  • As soon as the status is DONE, we can continue.
dataset = tenyks.get_dataset("paris_train_station")  
dataset
