🚀 Build Your Own Image Search with AI Object Detection and Elasticsearch

Description

🧠 Index Image Objects using Cloudflare AI & ElasticSearch

Automatically detect, crop, and index objects in images to build an AI-powered visual search system — powered by Cloudflare Workers AI.

📸 Tired of manually tagging and organizing image data? — This workflow automatically classifies and crops objects from images, then indexes them in ElasticSearch for advanced visual querying.

🧩 What Problem Does It Solve?

Manually detecting and organizing objects in images is tedious and error-prone.

This workflow uses a lightweight AI model to:

• 🔍 Identify multiple objects in images

• ✂️ Crop each object automatically

• 🧠 Classify objects with high confidence

• 🗂️ Index results in ElasticSearch for easy querying

⚙️ How it Works

🖼️ Accepts image input via HTTP or other source nodes

🔎 Classifies objects using Detr-Resnet-50 from Cloudflare Workers AI

🔢 Filters only high-confidence results (score ≥ 0.9)

✂️ Crops each object from the image

☁️ Uploads cropped images to Cloudinary (or any external storage)

📚 Indexes object metadata + image links in ElasticSearch

✨ Key Features

🚀 Fully automated object detection pipeline

🤖 Non-LLM vision model (Detr-Resnet-50) — fast and cost-efficient

📦 Crops individual object images from source

📁 Uploads to external storage (Cloudinary)

🔎 Enables granular object-based image search in ElasticSearch

🧹 Built-in confidence filtering and data cleanup

🔧 What You Need

✅ Cloudflare account with Workers AI enabled

✅ ElasticSearch instance (hosted or self-managed)

✅ (Optional) Cloudinary or any image storage service

✅ n8n instance running the workflow

🛠️ Setup Instructions

🔌 Set variables or input the image manually via HTTP or UI

🧠 Use Cloudflare API to classify the image via Detr-Resnet-50

🧹 Filter results by confidence score ≥ 0.9

✂️ Crop the objects using bounding boxes

☁️ Upload each cropped image to storage

📊 Create documents in ElasticSearch with metadata & image links

🧪 Test with sample image before full deployment
