# RetinaRadar: Multi-Label Retinal Image Quality Assessment

RetinaRadar is a deep learning model for automated quality assessment and classification of retinal fundus images. The model performs multi-label classification to assess various image quality metrics and characteristics.

## Model Description

- **Model Type:** Multi-label image classification
- **Architecture:** EfficientNet-B0 (timm)
- **Framework:** PyTorch Lightning
- **Input:** RGB fundus images (224x224)
- **Output:** Multi-label predictions for image quality and characteristics

## Predicted Labels

The model predicts the following characteristics:

1. **Laterality:** Left or right eye
2. **Fundus Image Type:** Standard, widefield, or ultrawidefield
3. **Quality Metrics:**
   - Artifacts present/absent
   - Clarity (focus quality)
   - Illumination quality
   - Contrast quality
   - Field of view adequacy
   - Overall usability

## Intended Use

### Primary Use Cases
- Quality control for retinal imaging datasets
- Automated image quality assessment in clinical workflows
- Pre-screening for downstream diagnostic tasks

### Out-of-Scope Use Cases
- Direct clinical diagnosis (this model assesses image quality, not disease)
- Real-time screening without human oversight
- Use on non-fundus images

## How to Use

### Installation

```bash
pip install torch torchvision timm albumentations pytorch-lightning
```

### Basic Usage

```python
from retinaradar import RetinaRadarInference

# Initialize model
inferencer = RetinaRadarInference(
    model_path="retinaradar_model.ckpt",
    device="cuda"  # or "cpu"
)

# Run inference
predictions = inferencer.predict("path/to/fundus_image.jpg")

# Access results
print(f"Laterality: {predictions['laterality']['label']}")
print(f"Image usable: {predictions['usable']['prediction']}")
```

### Detailed Inference

```python
import torch
from PIL import Image
import albumentations as A
from albumentations.pytorch import ToTensorV2

# Load model
model = torch.load("retinaradar_model.ckpt")
model.eval()

# Preprocessing
IMAGENET_MEAN = [0.485, 0.456, 0.406]
IMAGENET_STD = [0.229, 0.224, 0.225]

transform = A.Compose([
    A.Resize(256, 256),
    A.CenterCrop(224, 224),
    A.Normalize(mean=IMAGENET_MEAN, std=IMAGENET_STD),
    ToTensorV2(),
])

# Load and preprocess image
image = Image.open("fundus_image.jpg")
image = np.array(image)
transformed = transform(image=image)
image_tensor = transformed["image"].unsqueeze(0)

# Run inference
with torch.no_grad():
    logits = model(image_tensor)
    probabilities = torch.sigmoid(logits)

# Get predictions
predictions = probabilities > 0.5
```

## Training Data

The model was trained on a curated dataset of retinal fundus images with expert annotations for:
- Image quality metrics
- Laterality labels
- Field of view classifications

**Training Details:**
- Images: ~10,000+ annotated fundus images
- Sources: Multiple public datasets and clinical sources
- Annotations: Expert-verified labels for all quality metrics

## Training Procedure

### Preprocessing
- Resize to 256x256
- Center crop to 224x224
- ImageNet normalization
- Data augmentation: horizontal flip, color jitter

### Training Hyperparameters
- **Architecture:** EfficientNet-B0
- **Optimizer:** Adam
- **Learning Rate:** 1e-4
- **Batch Size:** 32
- **Epochs:** 30
- **Loss:** BCEWithLogitsLoss
- **Framework:** PyTorch Lightning

### Hardware
- Training: NVIDIA A100 GPU
- Training Time: ~2 hours

## Evaluation Results

### Overall Metrics
- **Accuracy:** 95.2%
- **F1 Score:** 94.8%

### Per-Category Performance
| Category | Accuracy | F1 Score |
|----------|----------|----------|
| Laterality | 98.5% | 98.3% |
| Fundus Type | 96.7% | 96.4% |
| Artifacts | 94.2% | 93.8% |
| Clarity | 95.8% | 95.5% |
| Illumination | 93.9% | 93.6% |
| Contrast | 94.6% | 94.2% |
| Field | 92.8% | 92.4% |
| Usable | 96.1% | 95.9% |

## Limitations

- **Image Quality Dependency:** Performance degrades on extremely poor quality images
- **Dataset Bias:** Trained primarily on clinical datasets; may not generalize to all imaging devices
- **Edge Cases:** May struggle with rare image types or unusual artifacts
- **Not Diagnostic:** Does not diagnose diseases, only assesses image quality

## Ethical Considerations

- **Medical Context:** This model is a quality assessment tool, not a diagnostic system
- **Human Oversight:** Should be used as part of a human-in-the-loop workflow
- **Bias:** May reflect biases present in training data
- **Privacy:** Ensure compliance with healthcare data regulations (HIPAA, GDPR)
