# ResNet-18 Clean vs. Noisy Image Classification Model
## This repository hosts a fine-tuned ResNet-18 model designed to classify images as either Clean (high-quality) or Noisy (distorted). The model was trained on a custom dataset containing two classes: Clean and Noisy images.

📚 Model Details
- **Model Architecture:** ResNet-18
- **Task:** Binary Image Classification (Clean vs. Noisy)
- **Dataset:** Custom dataset of Clean and Noisy images
- **Framework:** PyTorch
- **Input Image Size:** 224×224
- **Number of Classes:** 2 (Clean, Noisy)
- **Quantization:** Dynamic quantization applied for efficiency

## 🚀 Usage
### Installation
```bash
pip install torch torchvision pillow
```
# Loading the Model
```python
import torch
import torch.nn as nn
from torchvision import models

# Step 1: Define the model architecture (must match the trained model)
model = models.resnet18(pretrained=False)
num_features = model.fc.in_features
model.fc = nn.Linear(num_features, 2)  # 2 classes: Clean vs. Noisy

# Step 2: Load the fine-tuned and quantized model weights
model_path = "/path/to/resnet18_quantized.pth"  # Update with your path
model.load_state_dict(torch.load(model_path, map_location=torch.device("cpu")))

# Step 3: Set model to evaluation mode
model.eval()

print("✅ Model loaded successfully and ready for inference!")
```

## 🖼️ Performing Inference
```python
from PIL import Image
import torchvision.transforms as transforms

# Define preprocessing (same as used during training)
transform = transforms.Compose([
    transforms.Resize((224, 224)),  # Resize to match model input
    transforms.ToTensor(),
    transforms.Normalize(mean=[0.5, 0.5, 0.5], std=[0.5, 0.5, 0.5])
])

# Load an image (external or new)
image_path = "/path/to/your/image.jpg"  # Replace with your test image path
image = Image.open(image_path).convert("RGB")
image = transform(image).unsqueeze(0)  # Add batch dimension

# Perform inference
with torch.no_grad():
    output = model(image)

# Convert output to class prediction
predicted_class = torch.argmax(output, dim=1).item()

# Mapping: 0 => Clean, 1 => Noisy
label_mapping = {0: "Clean", 1: "Noisy"}
print(f"✅ Predicted Image Label: {label_mapping[predicted_class]}")
```

🛠️ Fine-Tuning & Quantization Details

### Dataset Details
- Dataset Composition: The training data consists of clean (high-quality) images and noisy (distorted) images.
- Dataset Source: Custom/Kaggle dataset.
- Training Configuration
- Epochs: 5–20 (depending on your convergence criteria)
- Batch Size: 16 or 32
- Optimizer: Adam
- Learning Rate: 1e-4
- Loss Function: Cross-Entropy

## Quantization
- Method: Dynamic quantization applied to fully connected layers
- Precision: Lowered to 8-bit integers (qint8) for efficiency

## ⚠️ Limitations
- Domain Shift: The model may misclassify images if the external image quality or noise characteristics differ significantly from the training dataset.
- Misclassification Risk: Similar patterns in clean and noisy images (e.g., subtle noise) might lead to incorrect classifications.
- Generalization: Performance may degrade on images with unusual lighting, contrast, or other artifacts not seen during training.
