+# OAK-D 4 Pro Workflow: Label, Train, and Convert AI Model
+
+This guide walks you through the complete workflow for creating a custom wood knot detection model optimized for the OAK-D 4 Pro camera: from manual image annotation to trained model conversion for edge deployment.
+
+## 📋 Prerequisites
+
+### Environment Setup
+```bash
+# Clone the repository
+git clone git@143.244.157.110:dillon_stuff/saw_mill_knot_detection.git
+cd saw_mill_knot_detection
+
+# Create virtual environment
+python -m venv .venv
+source .venv/bin/activate  # On Windows: .venv\Scripts\activate
+
+# Install dependencies
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+```
+
+### Required Dependencies
+- Python 3.8+
+- Pillow (for image processing)
+- Ultralytics (for YOLO/RT-DETR models)
+- RF-DETR (optional, for RF-DETR models)
+- OpenVINO (installed via convert script)
+
+## 🏷️ Step 1: Label Images
+
+Use the Tkinter-based annotation GUI to manually label your wood surface images.
+
+### 1.1 Prepare Images
+Place your images in a directory (e.g., `IMAGE/`):
+```
+IMAGE/
+├── image1.jpg
+├── image2.jpg
+└── annotations.json  # Will be created/updated
+```
+
+### 1.2 Launch Annotation GUI
+```bash
+# Using the convenience script
+./run_tk_gui.sh --images-dir IMAGE/
+
+# Or directly
+python tk_annotation_gui.py --images-dir IMAGE/
+```
+
+### 1.3 Annotate Images
+1. **Navigate**: Use Prev/Next buttons or click image thumbnails
+2. **Draw Boxes**: Click and drag on the image to create bounding boxes
+3. **Auto-Label** (optional): Load trained weights and auto-detect knots
+   - Enter weights path (e.g., `runs/yolox_training/training/weights/best.pt`)
+   - Select model type (auto-detect usually works)
+   - Set confidence threshold (0.3-0.7 recommended)
+   - Click "Load Model" then "Auto-Label Current"
+4. **Edit Annotations**: Double-click list items to delete, or manually draw corrections
+5. **Save**: Annotations auto-save to `IMAGE/annotations.json`
+
+### 1.4 Annotation Format
+Each image gets entries like:
+```json
+{
+  "image1.jpg": [
+    {
+      "bbox": [x1, y1, x2, y2],
+      "label": "knot",
+      "confidence": 1.0,
+      "source": "manual"
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+**Tips**:
+- Aim for 100-500 annotated images for good results
+- Focus on challenging cases (small knots, lighting variations)
+- Use auto-labeling to speed up the process, then manually correct
+
+## 🏋️ Step 2: Train Model
+
+Train a detection model using your annotated images.
+
+### 2.1 Prepare Dataset (Optional)
+The training script can prepare the dataset automatically, but you can do it manually:
+```bash
+python train_model.py --prepare-dataset --images-dir IMAGE --annotations annotations.json --dataset dataset_prepared
+```
+
+### 2.2 Choose Model Framework
+Available frameworks (all MIT/Apache 2.0 licensed):
+- **RF-DETR**: Highest accuracy, slower inference
+- **RT-DETR**: Good balance, optimized for edge devices
+- **YOLOv6**: Fast inference, good for real-time
+- **YOLOX**: Versatile, widely supported
+
+### 2.3 Train Model
+```bash
+# Basic training
+python train_model.py \
+    --framework rtdetr \
+    --dataset dataset_prepared \
+    --output runs/rtdetr_training \
+    --model-size small \
+    --epochs 100
+
+# Advanced options
+python train_model.py \
+    --framework yolox \
+    --dataset dataset_prepared \
+    --output runs/yolox_training \
+    --model-size nano \
+    --epochs 50 \
+    --batch-size 8 \
+    --lr 0.001 \
+    --prepare-dataset \
+    --images-dir IMAGE \
+    --annotations annotations.json
+```
+
+### 2.4 Monitor Training
+- Check `runs/*/training/` for logs and checkpoints
+- Training saves best model as `best.pt`
+- Use TensorBoard or Weights & Biases for monitoring (if configured)
+
+**Training Tips**:
+- Start with `nano` or `small` models for faster iteration
+- 50-200 epochs typically sufficient
+- Monitor validation mAP for convergence
+- Use data augmentation for better generalization
+
+## 🔄 Step 3: Convert for OAK-D Deployment
+
+Convert the trained model to OpenVINO format for OAK-D 4 Pro.
+
+### 3.1 Run Conversion
+```bash
+# Basic conversion
+python convert_for_deployment.py \
+    --model runs/rtdetr_training/training/weights/best.pt \
+    --output oak_d_deployment
+
+# Advanced options
+python convert_for_deployment.py \
+    --model runs/yolox_training/training/weights/best.pt \
+    --output oak_d_deployment \
+    --img-size 640 \
+    --framework auto
+```
+
+### 3.2 Output Files
+After conversion, you'll get:
+```
+oak_d_deployment/
+├── model.xml          # OpenVINO IR model
+├── model.bin          # OpenVINO IR weights
+├── model.onnx         # ONNX format (intermediate)
+└── config.yaml        # Model configuration
+```
+
+### 3.3 Convert to Blob Format
+For OAK-D deployment, convert to `.blob` format:
+
+**Option A: Online Converter (Recommended)**
+1. Go to https://blobconverter.luxonis.com/
+2. Upload `model.xml`
+3. Select "OAK-D 4 Pro"
+4. Download `.blob` file
+
+**Option B: Command Line**
+```bash
+pip install blobconverter
+blobconverter --openvino-xml oak_d_deployment/model.xml
+```
+
+## 🧪 Step 4: Test and Deploy
+
+### 4.1 Test OpenVINO Model
+```bash
+# Verify model loads
+python -c "from openvino.runtime import Core; core = Core(); model = core.read_model('oak_d_deployment/model.xml'); print('✓ Model loaded')"
+```
+
+### 4.2 Deploy to OAK-D
+Use DepthAI Python API or OAK-D examples:
+```python
+import depthai as dai
+
+# Create pipeline
+pipeline = dai.Pipeline()
+
+# Load your blob
+detection_nn = pipeline.create(dai.node.NeuralNetwork)
+detection_nn.setBlobPath("model.blob")
+
+# Configure camera and output streams
+# ... (see DepthAI documentation)
+```
+
+### 4.3 Performance Optimization
+- **Quantization**: Use 8-bit quantization for faster inference
+- **Model Size**: Nano models work best on edge devices
+- **Input Resolution**: 320x320 or 416x416 balances speed/accuracy
+- **Calibration**: Test with real-world images for best results
+
+## 🔧 Troubleshooting
+
+### Common Issues
+
+**GUI won't start**:
+- Ensure Pillow and Tkinter are installed
+- Check Python version (3.8+ required)
+
+**Training fails**:
+- Verify dataset format (COCO for RF-DETR, YOLO for others)
+- Check GPU memory if using CUDA
+- Reduce batch size if out of memory
+
+**Conversion fails**:
+- Ensure model is compatible with OpenVINO
+- Check input/output shapes match expectations
+- Try different image sizes (320, 416, 512, 640)
+
+**OAK-D deployment issues**:
+- Verify blob was created for correct OAK model (4 Pro)
+- Check camera calibration and input preprocessing
+- Ensure model input size matches camera output
+
+### Getting Help
+- Check existing issues in the repository
+- Review DepthAI documentation: https://docs.luxonis.com/
+- Test with provided example models first
