Overview

We have trained a Convolutional Neural Network on an extensive training dataset of images of skin pigmentations and rashes to classify the input as one of the 8 categories of diseases. We achieved 81.68% training accuracy and 75.56% validation accuracy upon training the neural network.

Installation

Build from Source

Clone the repository and checkout to stable commit

git clone https://github.com/cannibalcheeseburger/electrothon.git
cd electrothon

Install Requirements

pip install -r requirements.txt

Starting the uvicorn server

After installing requirements

uvicorn main:app

This would start the ASGI server at http://127.0.0.1:8000.

Using Front-End

• After starting the server open http://127.0.0.1:8000 in your browser.
• Upload the image that you want to examine for diseases.
• Click Diagnose
• Detailed log of Disease predicted by the neural networks and its symptoms and duration will pop up

Using API Directly

Request URL:

 http://127.0.0.1:8000/predict

Using Swagger UI:

• After starting the server open http://127.0.0.1:8000/docs in your browser to open the swagger UI for APIs.
• Scroll down to Post /predict
• Click Try it Out
• Chose file to upload for classification
• Click Execute
• Under Responses section , a detailed log of disease, summary ,symptoms and duration will be displayed in json format as the response
