Counting human body action repetitions in a live video feed

At a glance

Item Summary
Purpose Use Create ML Components to analyze a series of video frames and count a person’s repetitive or periodic body movements.
App architecture A Swift sample with the source-visible chain MyAppContentViewViewModelCreateMLComponents APIs.
Main patterns Model-View-ViewModel, Publisher-backed observable state
Project style 11 scanned source file(s) across Swift, organized around ranked entry, type, and file boundaries.
Execution model Source-visible boundaries: async declaration or closure, Task, @MainActor; none alone proves a background thread.
State/event model Source-visible mechanisms: ObservableObject, @Published, SwiftUI state property wrapper.
Key frameworks/packages SwiftUI, CreateMLComponents, AsyncAlgorithms; these are source dependencies, not architecture labels.

Structure observations

  • Architecturally prominent files are ranked from entry points and role-named declarations; resource-only paths are omitted.
  • Primary languages: Swift.
  • The verified tree contains 5 project/configuration file(s) and 9 source declaration(s).

Overall architecture

Reference code

CountMyActions/App/MyApp.swift:10 — architecture anchor

@main
struct MyApp: App {
    var body: some Scene {
        WindowGroup {
            ContentView()
        }
    }
}

Interpretation

The arrows summarize the source-visible entry, role-named types or folders, and framework direction; when nodes come from structural folders, the sequence is a high-level interpretation rather than proof that every adjacent node calls the next. Ownership is claimed only where the next section cites a stored property or assignment. The diagram is intentionally limited to the dominant path into Create ML Components.

Ownership and state

Ownership evidence

CountMyActions/Model/ViewModel.swift:15 — stored dependency or nearest verified ownership anchor

class ViewModel: ObservableObject {
    // ...
    @Published var liveCameraImageAndPoses: (image: CGImage, poses: [Pose])?
    // ...
}
Owner Object or state Relationship Mutation authority
ViewModel Pose (liveCameraImageAndPoses) stores or receives App/module collaborators
ViewModel Float (uiCount) owns value state App/module collaborators
ViewModel Task (displayCameraTask) stores or receives Owning lexical scope
ViewModel Task (predictionTask) stores or receives Owning lexical scope

Composition arrows indicate a source-visible construction expression or locally owned value state; aggregation means the owner stores or receives a dependency without proving exclusive lifetime ownership.

Concurrency, scheduling, and thread safety

Evidence limit: actor isolation, async/await, or Task creation does not by itself prove background-thread execution; Sendable conformance alone does not prove thread-safe mutation.

Concern Source mechanism Verified placement or handoff Evidence
Suspension boundary async declaration or closure The source declares or crosses an asynchronous boundary; it does not by itself establish background execution. CountMyActions/CountingPipeline/ActionCounter.swift:36
Task creation Task The source creates an unstructured task; surrounding context determines inherited actor isolation. CountMyActions/Model/ViewModel.swift:79
Main isolation @MainActor The cited annotation marks its attached declaration or closure as main-actor isolated. CountMyActions/Model/ViewModel.swift:168

@MainActor/MainActor.run, DispatchQueue.main, and RunLoop.main are reported as distinct isolation, queue, and event-loop mechanisms. A plain Task is kept separate from Task.detached; neither is labeled as a background thread.

Reference code

CountMyActions/CountingPipeline/ActionCounter.swift:36 — representative execution boundary

    func count(_ poseStream: AnyTemporalSequence<[Pose]>) async throws -> HumanBodyActionCounter.CumulativeSumSequence {
        return try await pipeline(poseStream)
    }

State propagation, frameworks, and dependencies

Evidence limit: an import proves a source-level compilation dependency at the cited line; it does not prove runtime use, architectural adoption, or whether a Swift package is a direct application dependency.

Category Mechanism or module Verified role Evidence
State propagation ObservableObject ObservableObject supplies an observation contract. CountMyActions/Model/ViewModel.swift:12
State propagation @Published A published property can emit owner-controlled changes. CountMyActions/Model/ViewModel.swift:15
State propagation SwiftUI state property wrapper A SwiftUI property wrapper supplies or observes UI state. CountMyActions/Views/CameraWithPosesAndOverlaysView.swift:12
Source import SwiftUI The cited file imports this module; runtime use and architectural role are not inferred. CountMyActions/App/ContentView.swift:8
Source import CreateMLComponents The cited file imports this module; runtime use and architectural role are not inferred. CountMyActions/CountingPipeline/ActionCounter.swift:8
Source import AsyncAlgorithms The cited file imports this module; runtime use and architectural role are not inferred. CountMyActions/Model/ViewModel.swift:10

receive(on:) describes downstream delivery scheduling, while subscribe(on:) describes upstream subscription/request/cancel scheduling. An import Combine alone establishes neither behavior nor a Store, reducer, Redux, or other application architecture.

Class and protocol design

CountMyActions/App/MyApp.swift:11 — representative type boundary

@main
struct MyApp: App {
    // ...
            ContentView()
    // ...
}
Type Responsibility Depends on or conforms to
MyApp Application entry and top-level composition App
ViewModel UI-facing state and feature coordination ObservableObject
CameraView User-interface presentation and input forwarding View
CameraWithPosesAndOverlaysView User-interface presentation and input forwarding View
OverlayView User-interface presentation and input forwarding View
PosesView User-interface presentation and input forwarding View
ContentView User-interface presentation and input forwarding View
ActionCounter Represents a feature value or composable behavior Concrete collaborators/imported frameworks
Connection Represents a feature value or composable behavior Equatable

No local protocol conformance is claimed as protocol-oriented design; external framework conformances are listed only as dependencies.

Access control

Symbol Access Verified effect Likely rationale
point1 (CountMyActions/DrawPose/Connection.swift:27) private Use is restricted to the lexical declaration and same-file extensions allowed by Swift. Inference: keep state mutation or dependency lifetime inside the owning implementation.
point2 (CountMyActions/DrawPose/Connection.swift:30) private Use is restricted to the lexical declaration and same-file extensions allowed by Swift. Inference: keep state mutation or dependency lifetime inside the owning implementation.
drawingScale (CountMyActions/DrawPose/Pose.swift:42) private Use is restricted to the lexical declaration and same-file extensions allowed by Swift. Inference: keep state mutation or dependency lifetime inside the owning implementation.
displayCameraTask (CountMyActions/Model/ViewModel.swift:20) private Use is restricted to the lexical declaration and same-file extensions allowed by Swift. Inference: keep state mutation or dependency lifetime inside the owning implementation.

Reference code

CountMyActions/DrawPose/Connection.swift:27 — representative boundary

    struct Connection: Equatable {
        // ...
        private let point1: CGPoint
        // ...
    }

Swift declarations without a modifier are internal; explicit private, fileprivate, private(set), public, or open entries above are interpreted by language semantics. Objective-C/C samples instead rely on header and implementation boundaries, which are not equivalent to Swift lexical privacy.

Logic ownership and placement

Logic Owning type or file Placement rationale
Application entry and top-level composition MyApp The source’s App suffix makes this role explicit.
User-interface presentation and input forwarding CameraView, CameraWithPosesAndOverlaysView, ContentView, OverlayView The source’s View suffix makes this role explicit.
UI-facing state and feature coordination ViewModel The source’s ViewModel suffix makes this role explicit.

Design patterns

Pattern Source evidence Purpose or tradeoff
Model-View-ViewModel CountMyActions/Model/ViewModel.swift:12 Role-named view models keep UI-facing state or coordination outside view declarations.
Publisher-backed observable state CountMyActions/Model/ViewModel.swift:15 Published properties notify observers while mutation remains with the state object.

Main application flow

Reference code

CountMyActions/Model/ViewModel.swift:107displayPoseInCamera()

    func displayPoseInCamera() async throws {
        // Start reading the camera.
        let frameSequence = try await VideoReader.readCamera(
            configuration: configuration
        )
        var lastTime = CFAbsoluteTimeGetCurrent()

        for try await frame in frameSequence {

            if Task.isCancelled {
                return
            }

            // Extract poses in every frame.
            let poses = try await poseExtractor.applied(to: frame.feature)

            // Send poses into another pose stream for additional consumers.
            await poseStream.send(TemporalFeature(id: frame.id, feature: poses))

            // Calculate poses from the image frame and display both.
            if let cgImage = CIContext()
                .createCGImage(frame.feature, from: frame.feature.extent) {
                await display(image: cgImage, poses: poses)
            }

            // Frame rate debug information.
            print(String(format: "Frame rate %2.2f fps", 1 / (CFAbsoluteTimeGetCurrent() - lastTime)))
            lastTime = CFAbsoluteTimeGetCurrent()
        }
    }

Naming conventions

  • Types: App: MyApp; View: CameraView, CameraWithPosesAndOverlaysView, ContentView, OverlayView, PosesView; ViewModel: ViewModel.
  • Protocols: no local protocol declaration in the scanned source.
  • Methods: initialize, onCameraButtonTapped, toggleCameraSelection, startVideoProcessingPipeline, displayPoseInCamera, predictCount, display, bubbleBackground.
  • Files: CountMyActions/App/MyApp.swift, CountMyActions/Model/ViewModel.swift, CountMyActions/Views/CameraView.swift, CountMyActions/Views/CameraWithPosesAndOverlaysView.swift, CountMyActions/Views/OverlayView.swift, CountMyActions/Views/PosesView.swift.

Architecture takeaways

  • MyApp is the main source-visible entry or composition anchor for this sample.
  • Framework work reaches SwiftUI, CreateMLComponents, AsyncAlgorithms through a deliberately small high-level chain; the detailed API graph remains inside the cited implementation files.
  • Stored-property evidence identifies lifecycle collaboration; it does not by itself prove exclusive object ownership.
  • Access-control conclusions separate verified language visibility from the likely design rationale.
  • The source does not justify labeling the design protocol-oriented.
