Video Processing Pipeline

 This week I was developing a pipeline to apply the pretrained models to a video. As a reference point, a library written by my ex-colleague was used.


The pipeline is represented by two classes:

  • VideoProcessor - which inherits from the OpenCV VideoCapture and allows applying several transformation functions to the video frame by frame
  • ProcessedWriter - which uses the VideoProcessor and combines it with OpenCV VideoWriter
Results of the pipeline are surprisingly good. For example, on the screens below you can see some frames from the processed video

Summing up my GSoC experience

Image
 Introduction Once again, I am Daniil Orel from Kazakhstan (Nur-Sultan / Astana city). This summer I was working with LibreHealth organisation for an amazing GSoC project. Few words about my host organisation LibreHealth is a  collaborative community, which supports free open source software projects in HealthTech. This organisation has multiple projects, but I was working towards the radiology project. My project Several medical procedures in surgery or interventional radiology are recorded as videos used for review, training, and quality monitoring. These videos have at least three interesting artifacts - anatomical structures such as organs, tumors, tissues, etc.; medical equipment, and medical information overlaid that describes the patient. It will be immensely helpful for review and search purposes if these can be identified and automatically labeled in the videos. My task was to develop ML models which can process videos and that are suitable for VR environment. As a result, I h

How can we "simulate" VR?

     Having the proper data is important when it comes to developing an ML/DL application. In some cases, the amount of data is limited due to some reasons. For example, if we are trying to detect a rare disease, collecting 1KK samples could be simply impossible. When collecting a proper dataset is too expensive, we cannot afford it as well. What shall we do in such a case?     The answer is simple: we have to generate data. Generative Adversarial Networks  are said to be one of the ways to synthetically generate the data. However, it requires at least some data from the domain of interest to generate new data. In this case augmentations could help.  Data augmentation is the artificial creation of training data for machine learning by transformations (c) It means, that we can change the original data to increase the training sample and / or apply some transformations to another dataset to get something in the domain of our interest. The second technique can be used, for example, to add

Surgical tools detection

Image
 This week I was training the Surgical Tools Detection model. The dataset was taken from here . To train the model and prepare it for inference I was using Roboflow. Roboflow  is a robust web-platform for collecting datasets, training models and running them into production. Training I have split the data on 69/21/10 for train, val and test sets. Graphs with training metrics is shown below Train / val metrics To be more precise, on test set the model has 93.8% precision with 90% recall and 96.4% mAP.  It is considered as a high performance and means that the model can be used in production. Inference Roboflow itself provides multiple ways for inference. I could use web-API method (requests are sent to the server and the model sends back predictions), but to make it more flexible, I prefer python-package method. It can be easily imported to the main project of LibreHealth and run.
