基于Python使用CloudSight API实现简单的图像识别（image Recognition）

本篇文章主要实现了使用API实现基本的image Recognition，基于Python语言：

1. 到CloudSight网址注册账号，create 一个project，然后获取到API key，网址：https://cloudsightapi.com/
2. 如何运行？将代码保存为py文件，然后再cmd当中进入保存py文件的文件夹，然后输入命令:python xxx.py “photo URL”即可输出识别图片（image Recognition）结果。
3. 个人觉得做image Recognition其实是很贵的，如果没有一个很好的硬件设施(GPU)，还是找API比较合适，但是API实现的却又不完全是自己想要的功能，所以可能的话还是多了解自己训练模型
4. 上代码：

#!usr/bin/env python
#encoding=utf-8

import requests
import sys, getopt



LOCALE = 'zh-CN'
LANGUAGE = 'zh-CN'

def doRequest(imageUrl):

    #format of execute: python cloudSightAPI.py "https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/525821899/___.jpg"
    #input the url of photo 

    reqUrlA = 'https://api.cloudsightapi.com/image_requests/' # get token
    reqUrlB = 'https://api.cloudsightapi.com/image_responses/' # get the final recognition result with token

    headers = { 
    'Authorization' : 'CloudSight mvJS_ZBtk7Z_0dmZiaNjkw',
    #'Host' : 'api.cloudsightapi.com',
    #'Origin:' : 'http://cloudsightapi.com/',
    }

    postData = {
    'image_request[remote_image_url]' : imageUrl,
    'image_request[locale]': 'zh-CN',
    'image_request[language]': 'zh-CN',
    }

    try:
        response = requests.post(reqUrlA, headers=headers, data=postData)
    except Exception as e:
        print ('Error: connection error, please check your Internet and confirm the image url1: %s' % str(e))
        sys.exit()


    if "error" in response.json():
        print ('Error: %s' % response.json()["error"])
       # print ('cant recognize the photo')
        sys.exit()
    else:
        token = response.json()['token']

        # you may get some response with status 'not completed' for about some times before getting the final result
        reqTimes = 20
        isNotified = True
        while reqTimes > 0:
            try:
                response = requests.get(reqUrlB + token, headers=headers)
            except Exception as e:
                print ('Error: connection error, please check your Internet and confirm the image url2: %s'% str(e))
                sys.exit()

            status = response.json()['status']

            #output             
            if status == 'completed':
                print 'RESULT: '
                print '\timage url:', imageUrl
                print '\timage name:', response.json()['name']

                # return response.json()['name']
                break
            elif status == 'not completed':
                if isNotified == True:
                    print ('recognition in progress')
                    isNotified = False
                reqTimes -= 1

def usage():
    print '''
    usage: 
    cloudSightAPI ImageURL
    type `cloudSightAPI -h` to get help
    '''

def main():
    try:
        opts, args = getopt.getopt(sys.argv[1:], 'h')
        for op, value in opts:
            if op == '-h':
                usage()
                sys.exit()
        if len(args) == 0:
            usage()
            sys.exit()
    except getopt.GetoptError as e:
        print 'Error: using invalid parameter -%s' % e.opt
        usage()
        sys.exit()

    imageUrl = sys.argv[1]
    doRequest(imageUrl)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()
