## 🚀 Quick Start

### 1. 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

# Install dependencies
pip install -U pip
pip install ultralytics gradio
```

### 2. Download Dataset

The dataset is not included in the repository due to size. Download from Kaggle and organize as follows:

```bash
# Download from Kaggle (requires Kaggle API)
kaggle datasets download -d kirs0816/wood-surface-defects
unzip wood-surface-defects.zip

# Run the dataset preparation script
python split_coco_dataset.py
python reorganize_dataset.py
```

### 3. Launch Annotation GUI

```bash
python annotation_gui.py
```

Open http://localhost:7860 in your browser to access the web-based annotation interface with:
- Image navigation with index display
- Auto-labeling with trained YOLOX model
- Manual annotation tools
- Real-time result visualization

### 4. Train Model

```bash
python train_yolox.py --dataset-dir dataset_split --model yolox-nano --epochs 5 --batch-size 4
```

## 🛠️ Usage Guide

### Annotation GUI Features

The Gradio-based annotation interface provides:

- **Image Navigation**: Browse through dataset with current index display
- **Auto-Labeling**: One-click defect detection using trained YOLOX model
- **Manual Annotation**: Draw bounding boxes for corrections
- **Real-time Visualization**: Immediate display of detection results
- **Export Options**: Save annotations in multiple formats

### Training

```bash
# Basic training
python train_yolox.py --dataset-dir dataset_split --model yolox-nano --epochs 10

# Advanced training with custom parameters
python train_yolox.py \
  --dataset-dir dataset_split \
  --model yolox-nano \
  --epochs 20 \
  --batch-size 8 \
  --img-size 640
```

### Inference

```python
from ultralytics import YOLO

# Load trained model
model = YOLO('runs/yolox_training/training/weights/best.pt')

# Predict on image
results = model.predict('path/to/image.jpg', conf=0.4)

# Process results
for result in results:
    boxes = result.boxes  # Bounding boxes
    for box in boxes:
        cls = int(box.cls)  # Class index
        conf = float(box.conf)  # Confidence score
        xyxy = box.xyxy.tolist()[0]  # Box coordinates
```

## 🔧 Configuration

Key settings in `config.py`:

```python
DEFAULT_MODEL_WEIGHTS = "runs/yolox_training/training/weights/best.pt"
DEFAULT_IMAGES_DIR = "IMAGE/"
WOOD_DEFECT_CLASSES = [
    'Live knot', 'Dead knot', 'Knot with crack', 'Crack',
    'Resin', 'Marrow', 'Quartzity', 'Knot missing',
    'Blue stain', 'Overgrown'
]
```

## 📈 Model Performance

**YOLOX-nano Results** (5 epochs):
- mAP50: 0.612
- mAP50-95: 0.357
- Precision: 0.68
- Recall: 0.55

## 🎯 Deployment on OAK-D

The trained model can be exported for OAK-D deployment:

```python
from ultralytics import YOLO

# Load and export model
model = YOLO('runs/yolox_training/training/weights/best.pt')
model.export(format='onnx')  # Export to ONNX for OAK-D
```
