Overview

In a challenge lab you’re given a scenario and a set of tasks. Instead of following step-by-step instructions, you will use the skills learned from the labs in the course to figure out how to complete the tasks on your own! An automated scoring system (shown on this page) will provide feedback on whether you have completed your tasks correctly.

When you take a challenge lab, you will not be taught new Google Cloud concepts. You are expected to extend your learned skills, like changing default values and reading and researching error messages to fix your own mistakes.

To score 100% you must successfully complete all tasks within the time period!

This lab is recommended for students enrolled in the Detect Manufacturing Defects using Visual Inspection AI course. Are you ready for the challenge?

Setup and requirements

Before you click the Start Lab button

Read these instructions. Labs are timed and you cannot pause them. The timer, which starts when you click Start Lab, shows how long Google Cloud resources will be made available to you.

This hands-on lab lets you do the lab activities yourself in a real cloud environment, not in a simulation or demo environment. It does so by giving you new, temporary credentials that you use to sign in and access Google Cloud for the duration of the lab.

To complete this lab, you need:

• Access to a standard internet browser (Chrome browser recommended).

Note: Use an Incognito or private browser window to run this lab. This prevents any conflicts between your personal account and the Student account, which may cause extra charges incurred to your personal account.

• Time to complete the lab---remember, once you start, you cannot pause a lab.

Note: If you already have your own personal Google Cloud account or project, do not use it for this lab to avoid extra charges to your account.

Challenge scenario

You are part of an international mobile manufacturing organization and tasked with inspecting defects on the surface of the mobile phones that are out from the assembly line. Your manager has asked you to help develop a system that will be used to analyze images taken on the production like to identify defects such as scratches, dents, deformations, etc. using a pre-prepared Google Visual Inspection Cosmetic Inspection model. The Visual Inspection model and solution artifact have been prepared by another member of your team and reside in shared resource project that you have access to.

Your challenge is to deploy the solution artifact and test that it can successfully identify both mobile phones that have cosmetic defects (defective mobile phones) and mobile phones that do not have cosmetic defects (non-defective mobile phones).

Sample defects

You are expected to have the skills and knowledge for these tasks, so don't expect step-by-step guides to be provided.

Your challenge

A number of sample images of mobile phones from your company's assembly line have been taken by one of your teammates and stored in a cloud storage bucket. The location of this cloud storage bucket has been shared with you. You have also been provided with a pre-configured Compute Engine virtual machine instance that you must use to deploy and test the pre-prepared Cosmetic Inspection anomaly defection solution artifact. You have also been provided with a script that you must use to process the images by calling Visual Inspection AI rest APIs via the solution artifact container.

This challenge expects you to:

1. Deploy the exported Cosmetic Inspection anomaly detection solution artifact in the Compute Engine virtual machine instance.
2. Identify a defective mobile phone.
3. Identify a non-defective mobile phone.

Task 1. Deploy the exported Cosmetic Inspection anomaly detection solution artifact

Your first task is to connect to the Compute Engine virtual machine instance and run the pre-prepared solution artifact container locally inside that virtual machine.

1. Connect to the Compute Engine instance called using SSH. The VM is located in the zone.

The Visual Inspection Cosmetic Inspection anomaly detection solution artifact was trained using the Visual Inspection cosmetic defect dataset. This solution artifact identifies cosmetic defects in images. This solution container is stored in the Container Registry (gcr.io) location listed below.

The exported solution artifact container uses port 8601 for grpc traffic, port 8602 for http traffic, and port 8603 for Prometheus metric traffic. You can map these ports to locally available ports in the virtual machine instance environment when starting the container with Docker using the command line switches -v 9000:8602 or -v 3006:8603.

2. You must now deploy the exported solution container that was prepared for you in order to test it by downloading and running it locally in the Compute Engine virtual machine instance with the following configurations:

Name	Value
Container name
Container Registry location	gcr.io/ql-shared-resources-test/defect_solution@sha256:776fd8c65304ac017f5b9a986a1b8189695b7abbff6aa0e4ef693c46c7122f4c

Note: You can review the docker run commands used in the Visual Inspection deploy and test labs in the course for the syntax that you should use to deploy the solution artifact.

3. Confirm that the container is running in your virtual machine instance:

docker container ls Deploy the exported Cosmetic Inspection anomaly detection solution artifact

Task 2. Prepare resources to serve the exported assembly inspection solution artifact

Once you have started the solution artifact container in the previous section, you must now process images by sending requests to the running container using the python script named prediction_script.py.

Copy the prediction script

• Copy the file prediction_script.py to your virtual machine instance to process images by calling Visual Inspection AI rest APIs via the solution artifact container:

gsutil cp gs://cloud-training/gsp895/prediction_script.py .

The Python script takes the following parameters that must be set correctly when executing it:

Name	Description
--input_image_file	Path to the image file to run predictions against.
--port	The port for http traffic.
--output_result_file	Path to the output file containing predictions.

The images of the mobile phones are stored in a shared Cloud Storage bucket. You must create your own Cloud Storage bucket and copy the folder containing the test images to your own Cloud Storage bucket.

Create a Cloud Storage bucket and copy images to it

1. Create a Cloud Storage bucket named .

2. Copy the folder containing the images of your product to your bucket from the following location: gs://cloud-training/gsp897/cosmetic-test-data into a folder called /cosmetic-test-data in your Cloud Storage bucket.

Prepare the storage bucket to process images

Task 3. Identify a defective product image

In this task, you must identify one defective product using the python script to process images stored in your cloud storage bucket. Store the prediction result that identifies a defective product in a file called stored in the HOME directory of your Compute Engine virtual machine.

Note: To find a defective image look for a file that returns at least one annotation object with the property annotationSpecDisplayName equal to scratch or dent. The prepared solution artifact has been trained to identify these defect types and use those labels when a defect is found.

A non-defective image result file will not contain either of those labels.

Two files that you should focus on are IMG_0769.png and IMG_07703.png. Identify a defective product

Task 4. Identify a non-defective product

• In this task, you should identify one non-defective product using the python script to process images stored in your cloud storage bucket. Store the prediction result that identifies a non-defective product in a file called stored in the HOME directory of your Compute Engine virtual machine.

Identify a non-defective product

Congratulations!

Over the course of this challenge lab you have demonstrated your knowledge of working with Visual Inspection AI. You have successfully deployed the exported Cosmetic Inspection anomaly detection solution artifact and tested it by identifying both defective and non-defective mobile phones.
