Cloudera Edge2AI: MiNiFi Java Agent with Raspberry Pi and Thermal Camera and Air Quality Sensor - Part 1

MiNiFi with Thermal Cameras and Air Quality Sensors

Cloudera Edge2AI:  MiNiFi Java Agent with Raspberry Pi and Thermal Camera and Air Quality Sensor - Part 1

Use Case / Overview:

We need to track heat signatures, web camera images, gas and other readings from a remote workers office.   This is for occupancy analytics and safety monitoring.   We can extend this to field and remote sites where levels of temperatures, movements, noxious gases and other real world items may cause risk to our staff.

For tracking room temperature and humidity we have other sensors:   https://www.datainmotion.dev/2019/12/iot-series-minifi-agent-on-raspberry-pi.html

We can also track things like GPS, overhead plane traffic, regionalized social media reports, news, government reports, weather, mass transit status, traffic cameras, smoke, stock market, database, files, syslog, logs and anything else we may need to add to improve our machine learning and deep learning models.

We want to send immediate alerts if anything is dangerous to the equipment or living things in the area.   We have deployed a pre-built TensorFlow Lite model to our edge device to execute on incoming images.   We can deploy our own models automagically via Apache NiFi - MiNiFi Agents and Edge Flow Manager:   https://www.datainmotion.dev/2019/08/updating-machine-learning-models-at.html.

Device:



Setup:
We need to make sure the Raspberry Pi is up to date and has some software available such as git, curl and unzip.    I can then build the MLX library.
I had to install the sgp30-python using the install.sh from the github, don't use the pip3 install.   Initial calibration will take a while, so let that happen.
A demo is installed:   /home/pi/Pimoroni/sgp30/examples
MLX Thermal Camera
There is a nice Python utility that will build a GIF animation from the camera.   /opt/demo/mlx90640-library/python
Make sure you build all examples.
Install Java for MiNiFi Agent
sudo apt install openjdk-8-jdk openjdk-8-jre

Download MiNiFi from Cloudera or nifi.apache.org and copy zip/tar/gz to your device.

MiNiFi Ingest:

 Web Camera Images
Sensor JSON Logs
Thermal Videos
TensorFlow Lite Classification Results

MiNiFi can grab my data from my device whether it's files, logs, images, sensor readings, python app calls, shell scripts, TCP, UDP or whatever.  Goodbye cron.


Building a MiNiFi flow and pushing that to make MiNiFi agents running on various devices is a snap.   I drag and drop a few components, set some parameters such which file to tail, what directory to list and what scripts to run and bam send it to the cloud.




It is very easy to monitor my progress with EFM event viewer or REST API.


NiFi Processing:

  • Receive From MiNiFi Agents
  • Route Images to Image Processing
  • QueryRecord to limit and route records
  • Push to Kafka



Additional NiFi Processing in Second AWS Cluster
  • Consume Kafka
  • Insert into Kudu Table


We need to add topics to Kafka so we can send our messages for further processing.


Before I can create Kafka topics, send messages or monitor Kafka, I need a Kafka cluster.   Using The Enterprise Data Cloud, Cloudera Data Platform lets me easily spin up a Kafka cluster on AWS or Azure (soon Google).



If I don't like fancy web UIs or need to script this, there is a CDP CLI that I can create a cluster using a JSON template.


It is very easy to build NiFi and Kafka Data Hubs and make them available to users/developers in minutes.   So we are now ready to rock.






Since we have been producing and consuming thousands of messages in different topics to my cloud hosted Kafka cluster, let's see what's going on by using Cloudera's Streams Messaging Manager (SMM).   







Let's see the data now that it has landed in Impala/Kudu tables.   So easy to query my tables with Apache Hue.



We can see the data displayed in Slack channels.



I can see my tables have been built in Kudu.

pip3 install scikit-image 
pip3 install getmac 
pip3 install psutilpip3 install --upgrade pip 
pip3 install --upgrade setuptools 
pip3 install tflite_runtime-1.14.0-cp37-cp37m-linux_armv7l.whl 
pip3 install easydict -U 
pip3 install scikit-learn -U 
pip3 install opencv-python -U --user 
pip3 install numpy -U

pip3 install gluoncv --upgrade 
pip3 install tensorflow

Summary:
We read thermal images, sensors and camera images with a MiNiFi agent that sends this data via MQTT and HTTP(S) Site-to-Site (S2S).   We process MQTT, Kafka and S2S data streams with NiFi and easily push the final data into Kudu tables which we can query.

So we easily ingest structured, unstructured and semistructured data with live analytics.

In the second part of this article I will show you how we integrate with CDSW for additional machine learning on our data.
