Workflow Description

Automation that receives images via HTTP request, analyzes their content using AI object detection, enriches metadata with detected objects, and indexes everything in Elasticsearch for advanced filterable image search capabilities based on visual content.

How it works

  1. 1.Receive images through manual HTTP request trigger
  2. 2.Split incoming batch and process each image individually
  3. 3.Detect objects and elements within images using AI vision
  4. 4.Enrich metadata with detected object information and classifications
  5. 5.Store processed images and metadata in Elasticsearch index
  6. 6.Enable searchable retrieval filtered by detected objects and attributes

Use cases

  • Build searchable image libraries indexed by visual content and objects
  • Create intelligent image indexing for e-commerce product catalogs and inventory management
  • Implement advanced visual search across thousands of images by object type

Requirements

  • Active Elasticsearch instance with accessible database and index configuration
  • AI object detection service integrated or accessible via API endpoint
  • Image processing capability supporting metadata enrichment and manipulation

Service Value

Ready-made workflow template for automation delivery and service execution.
