Usage

Installation

pip install torch torchvision pillow albumentations scikit-learn

Python API

import torch
from PIL import Image
import numpy as np
import albumentations as A
from albumentations.pytorch import ToTensorV2

# Load model from Hugging Face
from transformers import AutoModel
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained("username/retinal-disease-classifier")
model.eval()

# Prepare image
transform = A.Compose([
    A.Resize(384, 384),
    A.Normalize(mean=(0.485, 0.456, 0.406), std=(0.229, 0.224, 0.225)),
    ToTensorV2(),
])

image = np.array(Image.open("fundus.png").convert("RGB"))
tensor = transform(image=image)["image"].unsqueeze(0)

# Inference
with torch.no_grad():
    logits = model(tensor)
    probs = torch.sigmoid(logits)[0].cpu().numpy()

# Get predictions
disease_names = ["DR", "ARMD", "MH", ...]  # 45 diseases
threshold = 0.5
detected = {name: float(prob) for name, prob in zip(disease_names, probs) if prob >= threshold}

print(f"Detected diseases: {list(detected.keys())}")
print(f"Probabilities: {detected}")

Example Output

{
  "disease_risk": true,
  "predictions": {
    "DR": 0.993,
    "BRVO": 0.752,
    "LS": 0.859,
    "CRVO": 0.899
  },
  "detected_diseases": ["DR", "BRVO", "LS", "CRVO"],
  "num_detected": 4
}
