See also Vision-ui a series algorithms for mobile UI testing.

A R-CNN (Region-based Convolutional Neural Networks) machine learning model for handling pop-up window in mobile apps.

Vision-ml is a machine learning model that identifies the UI element that closes the Pop-up window and return its UI coordinate (x, y) on the screen.

A typical usage scenario would be:

• In mobile testing, when using Appium or similar framework for UI automation, it is usually very tricky to locate the components on the Pop-up window which is rendered on top of the current screen.

• Input a mobile App screenshot with the Pop-up, and you will get the predicted result (as shown in the blue box).

# create venv before install requirements
pip install  -r requirements.txt

You can use Vision with a pre-trained model in "model/trained_model_1.h5", the number in the file name is for version control, you can update it in file named "all_config".

There are two ways of using Vision.

1. Update your file path in "rcnn_predict.py"

model_predict("path/to/image.png", view=True)

2. Run script and you will get the result

python rcnn_predict.py

1. Start the web server

You can create server with Dockerfile

python vision_server.py

2. Post image to web server

curl  http://localhost:9092/client/vision  -F "file=@${IMAGE_PATH}.png"

3. The response from the web server will have the coordinate or the UI element, alone with a value of score 0 or 1.0 (0 means not found, 1.0 means found).

{
  "code": 0,
  "data": {
    "position": [
      618,
      1763
    ],
    "score": 1.0
  }
}

• You can choose to use your train image if your close button has different feature from the given training set. Just take a screenshot and put it in the "image/" folder

• Rename the train image with prefix "1" for close button and "0" for background.

• You can refer to the given training images in the repo for examples.

Button image named 1_1.png:

Background image named 0_3.png:

1. There are some images in this repo for training.

0_0.png 0_1.png 0_2.png 0_3.png 0_4.png 0_5.png 0_6.png 1_0.png 1_1.png 1_2.png 1_3.png 1_4.png 1_5.png 1_6.png

2. Get augmentation of your image, run method in "rcnn_train.py"

Image().get_augmentation()

3. Train your image, run method in "rcnn_train.py"

train_model()

• Model input image will be processed from 3d to 1d and pixel value will be set to 255 or 0, which makes the model has great classification.
• There are 5 layers and the 196,450 parameters in total, which is a light model and makes the training easier and the model is also robust for different Pop-up windows.

Total params: 196,450
Trainable params: 196,450
Non-trainable params: 0

In all_config.py we have training params of batch_size and epochs

• batch_size is the number of training image for updating the model
• epochs is the number for training the model with all the training image.

With CPU of corei7@2.2Ghz:

• Training a model takes 30s with 10 epochs
• A mobile Pop-up window screen shot with 1080p takes 10s for calculating.

The R-CNN model refers to this paper.
