📋 Files Modified (Not Removed)

1. app.py - CONVERTED

Before: Streamlit web application After: FastAPI REST API with equivalent functionality Justification: Core functionality preserved, but exposed via RESTful endpoints instead of web interface

Features Preserved:

• Image upload and processing
• Disease prediction using V3 model
• Confidence scoring and class probabilities
• Grad-CAM heatmap generation (background processing)
• Risk level calculation with weather data
• Disease information retrieval
• Real-time status tracking

2. requirements.txt - UPDATED

Removed dependencies:

• streamlit>=1.28.0 - No longer needed for web interface

Added dependencies:

• fastapi>=0.104.0 - Core REST API framework
• uvicorn[standard]>=0.24.0 - ASGI server
• python-multipart>=0.0.6 - File upload support

Preserved dependencies:

• All ML dependencies (torch, torchvision, grad-cam)
• All image processing dependencies (Pillow, opencv-python-headless)
• All utility dependencies (numpy, matplotlib, requests, tqdm, pydantic)

3. Dockerfile - UPDATED

Before: Streamlit-optimized container with port 7860 After: FastAPI-optimized container with uvicorn server Justification: Maintains Hugging Face Spaces compatibility while switching to FastAPI

Key Changes:

• Removed Streamlit environment variables
• Added FastAPI health check endpoint
• Changed CMD from streamlit run to uvicorn app:app
• Preserved all system dependencies and port 7860

4. README.md - UPDATED

Before: Streamlit-focused documentation After: FastAPI-focused with comprehensive API usage examples Justification: Updated to reflect new REST API interface while preserving all capability descriptions

🚫 Files Actually Removed: NONE

Important: No files were actually deleted from the project. The conversion was done by:

1. Modifying existing files to replace Streamlit functionality with FastAPI equivalents
2. Preserving all training, evaluation, and CLI capabilities intact
3. Maintaining all model assets and data for continued development
