### Building the docker image:

bash
> docker build -t object-detection-lambda .

### Running the docker container locally:

bash

> docker run --name object-detection-lambda-cont -p 8080:8080 object-detection-lambda


### Testing locally:

Example of a prediction request

python
> python3 inference_api.py --api http://localhost:8080/2015-03-31/functions/function/invocations --file ./tests/data/boats.jpg
