Introduction

The AI subsystem is the part of OpenHarmony that provides native distributed AI capabilities. At the heart of the subsystem is a unified AI engine framework, which implements quick integration of AI algorithm plug-ins. The framework consists of the plug-in management, module management, and communication management modules, fulfilling lifecycle management and on-demand deployment of AI algorithms. Under this framework, AI algorithm APIs will be standardized to facilitate distributed calling of AI capabilities. In addition, unified inference APIs will be provided to adapt to different inference framework hierarchies.

Constraints

Programming language: C/C++

Operating system: OpenHarmony

Others: The System Ability Manager (Samgr) has been started and is running properly.

Usage

Compile the AI subsystem.

The source code for lightweight AI framework is available at //foundation/ai/ai_engine/services.

The compilation procedure is as follows:
1. Set the compilation path.
```
hb set -root dir (root dir is the root directory of the project code.)
```
1. Specify the product for compilation. (After the product list is displayed using the following command, move to the desired product with arrow keys and press Enter.)
```
hb set -p
```
1. Start compilation.
```
hb build -f (Use this command if you want to compile the entire repository.)
hb build ai_engine (Use this command if you want to compile only the ai_engine module.)
```
Note: For details about the hb configuration, see the readme of the build_lite subsystem.

Develop the plug-in, with keyword spotting as an example.

Directory: //foundation/ai/ai_engine/services/server/plugin/asr/keyword_spotting

Note: The plug-in must implement the IPlugin and IPluginCallback APIs provided by the server.

#include "plugin/i_plugin.h
class KWSPlugin : public IPlugin {       # Inherits the public base class of the IPlugin API for Keywords Spotting Plugin (KWSPlugin).
    KWSPlugin();
    ~KWSPlugin();

    const long long GetVersion() const override;
    const char* GetName() const override;
    const char* GetInferMode() const override;

    int32_t Prepare(long long transactionId, const DataInfo &amp;amp;inputInfo, DataInfo &amp;amp;outputInfo) override;
    int32_t SetOption(int optionType, const DataInfo &amp;amp;inputInfo) override;
    int32_t GetOption(int optionType, const DataInfo &amp;amp;inputInfo, DataInfo &amp;amp;outputInfo) override;
    int32_t SyncProcess(IRequest *request, IResponse *&amp;amp;response) override;
    int32_t AsyncProcess(IRequest *request, IPluginCallback*callback) override;
    int32_t Release(bool isFullUnload, long long transactionId, const DataInfo &amp;amp;inputInfo) override;
    .
    .
    .
};

Note: Depending on the algorithm in use, you only need to implement the SyncProcess or AsyncProcess API. Use an empty function as a placeholder for the other API. In this example, the KWS plug-in uses the synchronous algorithm. Therefore, you need to implement SyncProcess API and use an empty function as a placeholder for the SyncProcess API.

#include "aie_log.h"
#include "aie_retcode_inner.h"

const long long KWSPlugin::GetVersion() const
{
    return ALGOTYPE_VERSION_KWS;
}

const char *KWSPlugin::GetName() const
{
    return ALGORITHM_NAME_KWS.c_str();
}

const char *KWSPlugin::GetInferMode() const
{
    return DEFAULT_INFER_MODE.c_str();
}
.

int32_t KWSPlugin::AsyncProcess(IRequest *request, IPluginCallback *callback)
{
    return RETCODE_SUCCESS;
}

Develop the SDK, with keyword spotting as an example.

Directory: //foundation/ai/ai_engine/services/client/algorithm_sdk/asr/keyword_spotting

Keyword spotting SDK:

class KWSSdk {
public:
    KWSSdk();
    virtual ~KWSSdk();

    /**
     * @brief Create a new session with KWS Plugin
     *
     * @return Returns KWS_RETCODE_SUCCESS(0) if the operation is successful,
     *         returns a non-zero value otherwise.
     */
    int32_t Create();

    /**
     * @brief Synchronously execute keyword spotting once
     *
     * @param audioInput pcm data.
     * @return Returns KWS_RETCODE_SUCCESS(0) if the operation is successful,
     *         returns a non-zero value otherwise.
     */
    int32_t SyncExecute(const Array<int16_t> &audioInput);

    /**
     * @brief Asynchronously execute keyword spotting once
     *
     * @param audioInput pcm data.
     * @return Returns KWS_RETCODE_SUCCESS(0) if the operation is successful,
     *         returns a non-zero value otherwise.
     */
    int32_t AsyncExecute(const Array<int16_t> &audioInput);

    /**
     * @brief Set callback
     *
     * @param callback Callback function that will be called during the process.
     * @return Returns KWS_RETCODE_SUCCESS(0) if the operation is successful,
     *         returns a non-zero value otherwise.
     */
    int32_t SetCallback(const std::shared_ptr<KWSCallback> &callback);

     *         returns a non-zero value otherwise.
     */
    int32_t Destroy();

Note: The sequence for the SDK to call client APIs of the AI engine is as follows: AieClientInit -> AieClientPrepare -> AieClientSyncProcess/AieClientAsyncProcess -> AieClientRelease -> AieClientDestroy. An exception will be thrown if the call sequence is violated. In addition, all these APIs must be called. Otherwise, a memory leakage may occur.

Sample development (similar to keyword spotting)

Directory: //applications/sample/camera/ai/asr/keyword_spotting

Call the Create API.

bool KwsManager::PreparedInference()
{
    if (capturer_ == nullptr) {
        printf("[KwsManager] only load plugin after AudioCapturer ready\n");
        return false;
    }
    if (plugin_ != nullptr) {
        printf("[KwsManager] stop created InferencePlugin at first\n");
        StopInference();
    }
    plugin_ = std::make_shared<KWSSdk>();
    if (plugin_ == nullptr) {
        printf("[KwsManager] fail to create inferencePlugin\n");
        return false;
    }
    if (plugin_->Create() != SUCCESS) {
        printf("[KwsManager] KWSSdk fail to create.\n");
        return false;
    }
    std::shared_ptr<KWSCallback> callback = std::make_shared<MyKwsCallback>();
    if (callback == nullptr) {
        printf("[KwsManager] new Callback failed.\n");
        return false;
    }
    plugin_->SetCallback(callback);
    return true;
}

Call the SyncExecute API.

void KwsManager::ConsumeSamples()
{
    uintptr_t sampleAddr = 0;
    size_t sampleSize = 0;
    int32_t retCode = SUCCESS;
    while (status_ == RUNNING) {
        {
            std::lock_guard<std::mutex> lock(mutex_);
            if (cache_ == nullptr) {
                printf("[KwsManager] cache_ is nullptr.\n");
                break;
            }
            sampleSize = cache_->GetCapturedBuffer(sampleAddr);
        }
        if (sampleSize == 0 || sampleAddr == 0) {
            continue;
        }
        Array<int16_t> input = {
            .data = (int16_t *)(sampleAddr),
            .size = sampleSize >> 1
        };
        {
            std::lock_guard<std::mutex> lock(mutex_);
            if (plugin_ == nullptr) {
                printf("[KwsManager] cache_ is nullptr.\n");
                break;

            if ((retCode = plugin_->SyncExecute(input)) != SUCCESS) {
                printf("[KwsManager] SyncExecute KWS failed with retCode = [%d]\n", retCode);
                continue;
            }
        }
    }
}

Call the Destroy API.

void KwsManager::StopInference()
{
    printf("[KwsManager] StopInference\n");
    if (plugin_ != nullptr) {
        int ret = plugin_->Destroy();
        if (ret != SUCCESS) {
