Managing models

Since AutoML Vision Object Detection creates a new model each time you start training, your project may include numerous models. You can get a list of the models in your project, get a specific model, update a model's node number, or delete models you no longer need.

Listing models

A project can include numerous models. This section describes how to retrieve a list of the available models for a project.

Web UI

To see a list of the available models using the AutoML Vision Object Detection UI, click the Models link at the top of the left navigation menu.

Listing models image

To see the models for a different project, select the project from the drop-down list in the upper right of the title bar.

REST

Before using any of the request data, make the following replacements:

project-id: your GCP project ID.

HTTP method and URL:

GET https://automl.googleapis.com/v1/projects/PROJECT_ID/locations/us-central1/models

To send your request, choose one of these options:

curl

Note: The following command assumes that you have logged in to the gcloud CLI with your user account by executing gcloud init or gcloud auth login, or by using Cloud Shell, which automatically logs you into the gcloud CLI. You can check the currently active account by executing gcloud auth list.

Execute the following command:

curl -X GET \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer $(gcloud auth print-access-token)" \
    -H "x-goog-user-project: project-id" \
    "https://automl.googleapis.com/v1/projects/PROJECT_ID/locations/us-central1/models"

PowerShell

Execute the following command:

$cred = gcloud auth print-access-token
$headers = @{ "Authorization" = "Bearer $cred"; "x-goog-user-project" = "project-id" }

Invoke-WebRequest `
    -Method GET `
    -Headers $headers `
    -Uri "https://automl.googleapis.com/v1/projects/PROJECT_ID/locations/us-central1/models" | Select-Object -Expand Content

You should receive a JSON response similar to the following example. This response shows information about two Cloud-hosted models.

Update a model's node number

Once you have a trained deployed model you can update the number of nodes the model is deployed on to respond to your specific amount of traffic. For example, if you experience a higher amount of queries per second (QPS) than expected.

You can change this node number without first having to undeploy the model. Updating deployment will change the node number without interrupting your served prediction traffic.

Web UI

In the AutoML Vision Object Detection UI and select the Models tab (with lightbulb icon) in the left navigation bar to display the available models.

To view the models for a different project, select the project from the drop-down list in the upper right of the title bar.
Select your deployed trained model.
Select the Test & Use tab just below the title bar.
A message is displayed in a box at the top of the page that says "Your model is deployed and is available for online prediction requests". Select the Update deployment option to the side of this text.
In the Update deployment window that opens select the new node number to deploy your model on from the list. Node numbers display their estimated prediction queries per second (QPS).
After selecting a new node number from the list select Update deployment to update the node number the model is deployed on.
You will be returned to the Test & Use window where you see the text box now displaying "Deploying model...".
Note: This is similar to the initial deployment of your model.
After your model has successfully deployed on the new node number you will receive an email at the address associated with your project.

REST

The same method you use to initially use to deploy a model is used to change the deployed model's node number.

Before using any of the request data, make the following replacements:

project-id: your GCP project ID.
model-id: the ID of your model, from the response when you created the model. The ID is the last element of the name of your model. For example:
- model name: projects/project-id/locations/location-id/models/IOD4412217016962778756
- model id: IOD4412217016962778756

Field considerations:

nodeCount - The number of nodes to deploy the model on. The value must be between 1 and 100, inclusive on both ends. A node is an abstraction of a machine resource, which can handle online prediction queries per second (QPS) as given in the model's qps_per_node.

HTTP method and URL:

POST https://automl.googleapis.com/v1/projects/PROJECT_ID/locations/us-central1/models/MODEL_ID:deploy

Request JSON body:

{
  "imageObjectDetectionModelDeploymentMetadata": {
    "nodeCount": 2
  }
}

To send your request, choose one of these options:

curl

Save the request body in a file called request.json, and execute the following command:

curl -X POST \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer $(gcloud auth print-access-token)" \
    -H "x-goog-user-project: project-id" \

    -d @request.json \
    "https://automl.googleapis.com/v1/projects/PROJECT_ID/locations/us-central1/models/MODEL_ID:deploy"

Deleting a model

You can delete a model resource by using the model ID.

Web UI

In the AutoML Vision Object Detection UI, click the lightbulb icon in the left navigation menu to display the list of available models.
Click the three-dot menu at the far right of the row you want to delete and select Delete model.
Click Delete in the confirmation dialog box.

REST

Before using any of the request data, make the following replacements:

project-id: your GCP project ID.
model-id: the ID of your model, from the response when you created the model. The ID is the last element of the name of your model. For example:
- model name: projects/project-id/locations/location-id/models/IOD4412217016962778756
- model id: IOD4412217016962778756

HTTP method and URL:

DELETE https://automl.googleapis.com/v1/projects/PROJECT_ID/locations/us-
central1/models/MODEL_ID

To send your request, choose one of these options:

curl

Execute the following command:

curl -X DELETE \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer $(gcloud auth print-access-token)" \
    -H "x-goog-user-project: project-id" \
    "https://automl.googleapis.com/v1/projects/PROJECT_ID/locations/us-
central1/models/MODEL_ID"

PowerShell

Execute the following command:

$cred = gcloud auth print-access-token
$headers = @{ "Authorization" = "Bearer $cred"; "x-goog-user-project" = "project-id" }

Invoke-WebRequest `
    -Method DELETE `
    -Headers $headers `
    -Uri "https://automl.googleapis.com/v1/projects/PROJECT_ID/locations/us-
central1/models/MODEL_ID" | Select-Object -Expand Content

You should see output similar to the following. You can use the operation ID to get the status of the task. For an example, see Working with long-running operations.

  "name": "projects/PROJECT_ID/locations/us-central1/operations/OPERATION_ID",
