Client-Server infrastructure

[selBaez]

Since this project is becoming very big and complex, we would like to break it up into smaller services that can be managed in an easier way.

The idea is to break them down in a similar manner as

• object recognition component calling services from a different repository:

• pepper/pepper/framework/sensor/obj.py

  Line 304 in 233d39d

  class ObjectDetectionClient(object):

• pepper/pepper/framework/component/object_detection.py

  Line 33 in 233d39d

  clients = [ObjectDetectionClient(target) for target in ObjectDetectionComponent.TARGETS]

• pepper/pepper/framework/component/object_detection.py

  Line 58 in 233d39d

  objects = [obj for obj in client.classify(image) if obj.confidence > config.OBJECT_RECOGNITION_THRESHOLD]

• face recognition component calling services from a docker:

• pepper/pepper/framework/sensor/face.py

  Line 58 in 233d39d

  class OpenFace(object):

• pepper/pepper/framework/component/face_detection.py

  Line 30 in 233d39d

  open_face = OpenFace()

• pepper/pepper/framework/component/face_detection.py

  Line 61 in 233d39d

  on_face = [self.face_classifier.classify(r, b, image) for r, b in open_face.represent(image.image)]

This method may be applied to other components like the brain, context, scene, etc

@numblr is investigating alternatives regarding the Client-Server infrastructure (i.e. REST endpoints).
