The purpose of this page is to layout exactly what elements of SIC are being run and where, why, and how, to gain more insight into the design of the framework. It is not to analyze how face detection works.

I will break it down into different levels of increasing detail as to not be too overwhelming at once. In this simple example, a desktop computer uses its camera to detect and display bounding boxes around faces.

Level 1

...

1. FaceDetection service is ran in a separate shell, creating an associated ComponentManager

Code Block
language bash
run-face-detection

within a shell

This runs the main() function of face_detection.py, which starts a ComponentManager assigned to the FaceDetectionComponent. In this example, this script is ran on the same computer as the rest of the application, although it may be ran on another computer.

...

Code Block
language py
# Connect to the services desktop = Desktop(camera_conf=conf)

within desktop_camera_facedetection.py

Rather than running a ComponentManager in a separate terminal, the Desktop class (inherits from Device) creates a new thread where its ComponentManager runs.

• Components like FaceDetection do not run just by themselves. They consist of a Connectorwhich is basically a remote control for the actual component, a ComponentManager which runs them, and then the component itself.
