| `passport` | Passports | ✅ |
| `driver_license` | Driver's licenses | ✅ |
| `residence_permit` | Residence permits | ✅ |

## 🔍 Orientation Classification

The system uses multiple methods for reliable front/back classification:

1. **Class-Based**: Uses detected class (id_front, id_back, etc.)
2. **Portrait Detection**: Detects faces/portraits using YOLO-E
3. **Heuristic Analysis**: Text density, symmetry, and edge pattern analysis

## 📈 Quality Metrics

Each detection includes comprehensive quality assessment:

- **Sharpness**: Image clarity using Laplacian variance
- **Glare Score**: Bright pixel concentration analysis
- **Coverage**: Document area coverage within bounding box
- **Brightness**: Overall image brightness
- **Contrast**: Image contrast using standard deviation

## ⚡ Performance

| Metric | Target | Notes |
|--------|--------|-------|
| Image Processing | <1.5s | Single image detection |
| Video Processing | <3.0s | Frame extraction and selection |
| Memory Usage | <3GB | YOLO-E + orientation classifier |
| Reliability | 99.5% | With fallback mechanisms |

## 🛠️ Configuration

### Class Mapping

The system uses `config/labels.json` for class mapping:

```json
{
  "classes": {
    "0": "id_front",
    "1": "id_back", 
    "2": "driver_license",
    "3": "passport",
    "4": "mrz"
  }
}
```

### Model Weights

- **YOLO-E**: `yolo11n.pt` (nano variant for faster inference)
- **Orientation Classifier**: Integrated ML-based classification

## 🔧 Deployment

### Hugging Face Spaces

1. Upload the code to a new Hugging Face Space
2. Set the hardware to GPU for optimal performance
3. Configure environment variables if needed
4. Deploy and test the endpoints

### GPU Docker Runtime

- Ensure host has recent NVIDIA driver installed
- Install NVIDIA Container Toolkit on the host
- Run the container with GPU access enabled:

```bash
# Build image
docker build -t kybtech-yolo-e-idcard:gpu .

# Run with all GPUs and necessary capabilities
docker run --rm \
  --gpus all \
  --ipc=host \
  -p 7860:7860 \
  kybtech-yolo-e-idcard:gpu
```

Notes:

- The Dockerfile uses `pytorch/pytorch:2.7.0-cuda12.6-cudnn9-runtime` as base (CUDA included).
- The app auto-selects GPU if available and performs a warm-up pass.
- Verify GPU is visible inside the container with `python -c "import torch; print(torch.cuda.is_available())"`.

### Local Development

```bash
# Install dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt

# Run the application
python app.py
```

## 📝 Example Usage

### Python Client

```python
import requests

# Image detection
with open('document.jpg', 'rb') as f:
    response = requests.post(
        'https://algoryn-yolo-e-idcard.hf.space/v1/id/detect',
        files={'file': f},
        data={'min_confidence': 0.5}
    )

result = response.json()
for detection in result['detections']:
    print(f"Found {detection['document_type']} ({detection['orientation']})")
    print(f"Confidence: {detection['confidence']:.2f}")
    print(f"Quality: {detection['quality']['sharpness']:.2f}")
```

### JavaScript Client

```javascript
const formData = new FormData();
formData.append('file', fileInput.files[0]);
formData.append('min_confidence', '0.5');

fetch('https://algoryn-yolo-e-idcard.hf.space/v1/id/detect', {
  method: 'POST',
  body: formData
})
.then(response => response.json())
.then(data => {
  data.detections.forEach(detection => {
    console.log(`Found ${detection.document_type} (${detection.orientation})`);
  });
});
```

## 🚨 Error Handling

The API returns appropriate HTTP status codes:

- `200`: Success
- `400`: Bad request (invalid parameters)
- `503`: Service unavailable (models not loaded)
- `500`: Internal server error

Error responses include detailed error messages:

```json
{
  "detail": "Detection failed: Invalid image format"
}
```


## 🎯 Test Results Summary

- ✅ Health Check: Space is healthy and running version 2.0.0
- ✅ Image Detection: Successfully detected identity cards in test images
- ✅ Video Detection: Processed 8 frames and found 10 detections with tracking
- ✅ Performance: ~1.1s for images, ~3.3s for videos
- ✅ Quality Metrics: Comprehensive quality assessment working

## 🔒 Security & Privacy

- **No Data Storage**: Images/videos are processed in memory only
- **Temporary Files**: Video processing uses temporary files that are immediately cleaned up
- **No Logging**: Sensitive document data is not logged
- **API Authentication**: Configure authentication as needed for your deployment

## 📊 Monitoring

Monitor the service using:

- **Health Check**: `/health` endpoint for service status
- **Processing Time**: Included in all responses
- **Error Rates**: Monitor HTTP status codes
- **Performance**: Track response times and memory usage

## 🎉 Future Enhancements
