BASNet HTTP

This is an HTTP service wrapper for BASNet: Boundary-Aware Salient Object Detection code

The deploy folder contains configuration files for deployment as serverless container with Knative.

It's highly recommended to run this image on a machine with a CUDA compatible Nvidia Card and minimum 6Gb of RAM.

Usage:

docker run --rm -p 8080:80 docker.io/cyrildiagne/basnet-http

If you're having empty response issues, make sure your docker instance has 6gb of RAM as mentioned here

Test:

curl -F "[email protected]" http://localhost:8080 -o result.png

FAQ / Troubleshooting:

Q: I get an empty response, or "out of memory"

A: Increase your Docker RAM limit to at least 6GB: https://github.com/cyrildiagne/ar-cutpaste/issues/26#issuecomment-625689672

Q: I get a file that is 256x256 instead of my input image's size

A: That's the right output. You need to resize it to your input image's width and height. See: #11
