Run vision pipelines over images and video.
Build a pipeline in a visual editor, then run it over an image, a video, or a dataset. Track objects, count crossings, and measure dwell time.
from pictograph import Client
client = Client()
# Run a workflow over a video
run = client.workflows.run(
workflow_id="wf_door_counter",
source={"type": "video", "url": "./entrance.mp4"},
)
run = client.workflows.wait_for_run(run.id)
print(run.step_results) # counts, dwell, occupancyBuild it once, run it anywhere
Draw the pipeline in the editor, then run it on demand or wire it into your stack. No infrastructure to manage.
-
Build the pipeline
Drag together a source, a model, and the steps you need.
-
Track and measure
Add object tracking, counting, dwell time, and zone occupancy.
-
Run on anything
Point it at an image, a video, or a whole dataset.
-
Deliver results
Read results back, or push them to a signed webhook.

Workflows FAQ
What is a Pictograph workflow?
A workflow is a saved graph that runs a model over an image, a video, or a whole dataset: source, model, filter, track, step, visualize, sink. It loads ONNX weights per run, so it needs no standing deployment, and bills per frame processed.
How is workflow inference priced?
Workflows bill per frame processed at the underlying GPU rate plus the platform markup, charged from compute credits. You see a deposit up front and a true-up to actual usage when the run finishes, so you only pay for frames actually inferred.
Can workflows track objects across video frames?
Yes. Workflows include ByteTrack and BoT-SORT trackers, so a track ID follows each detection across frames. You can then add line-crossing counts, dwell time, and zone-occupancy steps on top of the tracks.
What can a workflow output?
A workflow can write annotated video, per-frame and per-track step results, and fire an outbound webhook on completion. Large result sets are offloaded to downloadable artifacts so nothing is silently truncated.
