Introducing the AI Content Recognition Processing

Last updated: 2025-09-09 20:02:19

Overview
Cloud Infinite provides a convenient AI processing mechanism that enables a series of AI content recognition processing operations on media stored in COS, including images, text, etc.
The AI content recognition processing mechanism is divided into the following three methods:
Method
Category
Description
Processing during download
Synchronous processing
Add the AI processing parameter after the image's URL.
Processing upon upload
Persistent processing
When uploading images, add the Pic-Operations field in the request header and set the appropriate AI processing parameters.
Processing in the cloud
Persistent processing
Process existing images on COS using the same processing method as processing upon upload, and add the Pic-Operations field in the request header with the appropriate AI processing parameters set.
Processing Method 1: Processing during Download
You can add the AI processing parameters after the image URL to synchronously retrieve the processed image when accessing it.
Request
GET /<ObjectKey>?<AI processing parameter> HTTP/1.1
Host: <BucketName-APPID>.cos.<Region>.myqcloud.com
Date: <GMT Date>
Authorization: <Auth String>
Practical Example
GET /<ObjectKey>?ci-process=AISuperResolution HTTP/1.1
Host: <BucketName-APPID>.cos.<Region>.myqcloud.com
Date: <GMT Date>
Authorization: <Auth String>
Response
HTTP/1.1 200 OK

[pic-content]
The processed image is returned directly in the response body.
﻿
Processing Method 2: Processing upon Upload
The processing upon upload feature helps users implement image processing during upload. You only need to add the Pic-Operations field in the request header and set the appropriate parameters to achieve AI content recognition processing during image upload, and store the original image and processing results in COS.
Request Sample
PUT /<ObjectKey> HTTP/1.1
Host: <BucketName-APPID>.cos.<Region>.myqcloud.com
Date: GMT Date
Authorization: Auth String
Pic-Operations: <PicOperations>
Note:
Authorization: A request header that carries authentication information and is used to verify the legitimacy of requests. The Pic-Operations header must be included in the signature information. For details, see the Request Signature documentation.
Request Content
Request Header
This API uses common request headers. For details, see Common Request Headers documentation. 
In addition to the common request headers, the following headers are required:
Header Name
Description
Type
Pic-Operations
Parameters for image operations
String
Pic-Operations is a JSON format string with the following parameters:
Parameter
Type
Required
Description
is_pic_info
Int
No
Whether to return original image information. 0 means no return, 1 means return. Default is 0.
rules
Array
No
Processing rule. One rule corresponds to one processing result (currently supports up to five rules). Leave blank to skip image processing.
Each item in the rules (JSON array) has the following parameters:
Parameter
Type
Required
Description
bucket
String
No
The name of the destination bucket for storing results, formatted as BucketName-AppId. If not specified, it defaults to the current bucket.
fileid
String
Yes
Storage path and name of the processed file. Name rule description:
For example, the path and name of the source file are: /p1/test1.jpg.
1. Paths starting with / are absolute paths. For example, when the fileid value is /p2/test2.jpg, it means a file named test2.jpg is stored in the p2 folder.
2. Paths not starting with / are relative paths. For example, when the fileid value is p2/test2.jpg, it means a new p2 folder is created in the p1 folder, and then a file named test2.jpg is stored in the p2 folder.
3. Do not end with /, otherwise an empty filename will occur.
4. If you want the repaired image to overwrite the original image, set the fileid field to <ObjectKey>.
rule
String
Yes
Processing parameter, example: ci-process=AIImageColoring.
Practical Example
Request
PUT /<ObjectKey> HTTP/1.1
Host: <BucketName-APPID>.cos.<Region>.myqcloud.com
