Process of Using an Edge Algorithm

**Table 1** Process
Task	Subtask	Description	Instruction
Preparing an edge algorithm	Creating an edge resource pool	An edge resource pool is a group of edge nodes used to process analysis tasks. Before creating an analysis task, create an edge resource pool.	Creating an Edge Resource Pool
	Purchasing an algorithm package	Purchase an edge algorithm package based on service requirements.	Purchasing an Algorithm Package
	Deploying an algorithm service	Before using an edge algorithm, deploy it in an edge resource pool.	Deploying an Algorithm Service
Setting input and output modes	Adding video data	To use an algorithm service on VIAS, add video sources, and use the video sources to create an analysis task that the algorithm service can analyze and output results. Edge algorithms support three video source origins: camera, Restful, and VCN.	Adding a Video Source
Setting input and output modes	Choosing an output channel	Prepare channels before outputting task analysis results to DIS channels or webhook URLs.	Choosing an Output Channel
Creating an analysis task	Creating a task	To create a task, specify a video source and an algorithm service, configure the algorithm parameters and task execution plan, and select the output mode.	Creating a Task
Viewing the analysis result	Viewing task status	After a task is created, check its status. After it succeeds, obtain the task analysis result.	Viewing Task Status
Viewing the analysis result	Obtaining the task result	Obtain the task analysis result based on the output mode.	Obtaining the Task Result

Process of Using a Cloud Algorithm

**Table 2** Process
Task	Sub Task	Description	Instruction
Setting input and output modes	Adding video sources	To use an algorithm service on VIAS, add video sources, and use the video sources to create an analysis task that the algorithm service can analyze and output results. Cloud algorithms support video source origins including OBS, URL, Restful, VCN, and IVM.	Adding a Video Source
Setting input and output modes	Choosing an output channel	Prepare channels before outputting task analysis results to DIS channels or webhook URLs. To export results to OBS, you must enable OBS beforehand.	Choosing an Output Channel
Preparing a cloud algorithm	Creating a cloud resource pool	To use a cloud algorithm that is not developed by Huawei, purchase a resource pool to deploy the algorithm.	N/A
