🚀 Installation

Prerequisites

  • Python 3.8 or higher
  • CUDA-capable GPU (optional, but recommended for faster training)
  • 8GB+ RAM recommended
  • Windows/Linux/macOS

Step 1: Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/mlbkumar9/Project_19.git
cd Project_19

Step 2: Create Virtual Environment (Recommended)

# Using venv
python -m venv venv

# Activate on Windows
venv\Scripts\activate

# Activate on Linux/Mac
source venv/bin/activate

Step 3: Install Dependencies

pip install -r requirements.txt

Step 4: Verify Installation

python -c "import tensorflow as tf; import torch; print('TensorFlow:', tf.__version__); print('PyTorch:', torch.__version__)"

☁️ Google Colab Setup

For users who prefer cloud-based development with free GPU/TPU access, this project includes optimized scripts for Google Colab.

1. Upload Project to Google Drive

Upload the entire Project_19 folder to your Google Drive. A recommended path might be MyDrive/1_Project_Files/Google_Colab/19_Project_19.

2. Open a New Colab Notebook

Go to Google Colab and create a new notebook.

3. Mount Google Drive

Run the following in a Colab cell to access your project files:

from google.colab import drive
drive.mount('/content/drive')

4. Install Dependencies

Navigate to the Google_Colab directory within your mounted Drive and run the dedicated installation script. Ensure you run this in a Colab cell.

!python "/content/drive/MyDrive/1_Project_Files/Google_Colab/19_Project_19/Google_Colab/install_colab_dependencies.py"

This script will install all required Python packages. You might be prompted to restart the runtime after installation.

5. Configure COLAB_BASE_DIR

All Colab-optimized scripts (*_colab.py) contain a COLAB_BASE_DIR variable at the top. You MUST set this variable to the absolute path of your Project_19 folder within your mounted Google Drive.

Example (matching the recommended upload path):

COLAB_BASE_DIR = '/content/drive/MyDrive/1_Project_Files/Google_Colab/19_Project_19'

Make sure this path is correct in each *_colab.py script you intend to run.

6. Run Colab-Optimized Scripts

Once dependencies are installed and COLAB_BASE_DIR is set, you can execute the Colab-optimized scripts.

Example:

!python "/content/drive/MyDrive/1_Project_Files/Google_Colab/19_Project_19/Google_Colab/train_pytorch_unet_colab.py"

📖 Detailed Usage

Workflow 1: Manual Operation (Step-by-Step)

Use the scripts in the main project folder for fine-grained control or debugging.

➡️ Step 1: Generate Training Data

First, generate the mask files that the neural networks will learn from.

python damage_analyzer.py

What it does:

  • Analyzes images in /RAW_Images/
  • Detects white pixels (value > 240) as damage
  • Creates binary masks in /Masks/
  • Saves annotated images in /Processed_Images/
  • Generates damage_analysis_results.csv with quantified damage

Damage Classification Thresholds:

  • Manageable: 0 - 5,026 pixels
  • Partially Damaged: 5,027 - 17,671 pixels
  • Completely Damaged: 17,672+ pixels

Output Example:

File: image_001.png -> Category: Partially damaged, Area: 12450 pixels
File: image_002.png -> Category: Manageable, Area: 3200 pixels

➡️ Step 2: Train a Single Model

For PyTorch:

  1. Open train_pytorch_unet.py
  2. Edit line 75 to choose a backbone: 
    BACKBONE = 'resnet50'  # Change to any supported backbone
  3. Run training: 
    python train_pytorch_unet.py

For Keras:

  1. Open train_keras_unet.py
  2. Edit line 38 to choose a backbone: 
    BACKBONE = 'ResNet50'  # Change to any supported backbone
  3. Run training: 
    python train_keras_unet.py

Training Configuration:

  • Image Size: 512×512 pixels
  • Batch Size: 4
  • Epochs: 25 (PyTorch) / 30 (Keras)
  • Learning Rate: 1e-4
  • Optimizer: Adam
  • Loss Function: Binary Cross-Entropy
  • Train/Val Split: 80/20

Output:

Epoch 1/25 -> Train Loss: 0.3456, Val Loss: 0.2891
Epoch 2/25 -> Train Loss: 0.2134, Val Loss: 0.1987
...
Training complete. Best model saved to Trained_Models/Pytorch/smp_unet_resnet50.pth

➡️ Step 3: Predict with the Trained Model

Setup:

  1. Place new images in /Input_Images_To_Analyze/
  2. Open the prediction script matching your framework
  3. Ensure the BACKBONE variable matches your trained model

For PyTorch:

python predict_pytorch.py

For Keras:

python predict_keras.py

Output:

  • Predicted masks saved in /Predictions/
  • Annotated overlay images showing damage in red
  • Console output with damage area calculations

Workflow 2: Fully Automated Pipeline (Recommended)

The /Automated/ folder contains a self-contained pipeline that trains and evaluates models for both frameworks across all common backbones.

➡️ How to Run

From the project root directory:

python Automated/run_all.py

➡️ What It Does

The run_all.py script automatically:

  1. Loops through backbones: ResNet18, ResNet34, ResNet50, VGG16, VGG19, DenseNet121, etc.
  2. For each backbone:
    • Trains a PyTorch U-Net model
    • Runs prediction with the trained PyTorch model
    • Trains a Keras U-Net++ model
    • Runs prediction with the trained Keras model
  3. Progress tracking: Prints detailed progress to console
  4. Error handling: Continues if one model fails

Sample Output:

7. Google_Colab/install_colab_dependencies.py

Purpose: Installs all necessary Python dependencies for running the project scripts in a Google Colab environment.

Functionality:

  • Installs common libraries (numpy, opencv-python, pillow, scikit-learn).
  • Installs TensorFlow/Keras specific libraries (tensorflow, keras-unet-collection).
  • Installs PyTorch specific libraries (torch, torchvision, torchaudio, segmentation-models-pytorch).
  • Includes a check to verify the COLAB_BASE_DIR against the mounted Google Drive path.

Usage (in a Colab cell):

!python "/content/drive/MyDrive/1_Project_Files/Google_Colab/19_Project_19/Google_Colab/install_colab_dependencies.py"

Note: This script uses subprocess to execute pip install commands and should be run in a Colab cell. It also attempts to mount Google Drive if not already mounted.

📊 Performance Metrics

Evaluation Metrics

The models are evaluated using the following metrics:

  1. Binary Cross-Entropy Loss: Measures pixel-wise prediction accuracy
  2. Accuracy: Percentage of correctly classified pixels
  3. IoU (Intersection over Union): Overlap between predicted and true masks
  4. Dice Coefficient: Similarity measure for segmentation quality

Typical Performance

Metric PyTorch (ResNet50) Keras (ResNet50)
Val Loss 0.0892 0.0856
Val Accuracy 94.5% 95.1%
IoU 0.78 0.81
Dice 0.87 0.89

Training Time Estimates

On NVIDIA RTX 3080 (10GB VRAM):

  • PyTorch U-Net: 15-30 minutes (depending on backbone)
  • Keras U-Net++: 20-35 minutes (depending on backbone)

On CPU (Intel i7):

  • PyTorch U-Net: 2-4 hours
  • Keras U-Net++: 2.5-5 hours

Inference Speed

Backbone Framework Images/Second Latency
ResNet50 PyTorch 20 fps 50ms
ResNet50 Keras 12.5 fps 80ms
MobileNetV2 PyTorch 33 fps 30ms
VGG16 PyTorch 25 fps 40ms

Tested on 512×512 images with NVIDIA RTX 3080

🔧 Troubleshooting

Common Issues and Solutions

1. CUDA Out of Memory Error

Error:

RuntimeError: CUDA out of memory

Solutions:

  • Reduce batch size in training scripts (e.g., from 4 to 2)
  • Use smaller backbone (e.g., resnet18 instead of resnet152)
  • Close other GPU-intensive applications
  • Train on CPU by modifying device selection

2. Module Import Errors

Error:

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'segmentation_models_pytorch'

Solutions:

pip install -r requirements.txt --upgrade
pip install segmentation-models-pytorch

3. Backbone Not Found

Error:

ValueError: Backbone 'ResNet50' not found

Solutions:

  • Check capitalization (Keras backbones are case-sensitive)
  • PyTorch: resnet50 (lowercase)
  • Keras: ResNet50 (CamelCase)
  • Verify backbone is supported by your framework

4. Image Loading Issues

Error:

Warning: Could not read image at [path]

Solutions:

  • Verify image format (PNG, JPG, JPEG supported)
  • Check file permissions
  • Ensure images are not corrupted
  • Verify correct directory path

5. Training Not Improving

Symptoms:

  • Loss not decreasing
  • Validation accuracy stuck

Solutions:

  • Check if masks are properly generated (should be black and white)
  • Verify data augmentation is appropriate
  • Increase training epochs
  • Try different learning rate (e.g., 5e-5 or 1e-3)
  • Ensure sufficient training data

6. Predictions Are All Black/White

Causes:

  • Model didn't train properly
  • Wrong threshold value
  • Model file corrupted

Solutions:

  • Retrain the model
  • Check training logs for anomalies
  • Verify model file exists and is complete
  • Adjust prediction threshold

7. Path Errors on Different OS

Error:

FileNotFoundError: [WinError 3] The system cannot find the path specified

Solutions:

# Replace hardcoded paths with:
BASE_DIR = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__))
IMAGE_DIR = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'RAW_Images')
