The model can classify 25 different types of wildflowers
The types of wildflowers are:

1. Alpine Aster,
2. Alpine Forget-me-not,
3. Beach Evening Primrose,
4. Beach Morning Glory,
5. Black-eyed Susan,

Dataset Preparation

Data Collection: Downloaded from DuckDuckGo using term name
DataLoader: Used fastai DataBlock API to set up the DataLoader.
Data Augmentation: fastai provides default data augmentation which operates in GPU.
Details can be found in notebooks/Wildflower_Recognizer_data_prep.ipynb

Training and Data Cleaning

Training: Fine-tuned a resnet34 model for 3 epochs (3 times) and got upto ~96% accuracy.
Data Cleaning: This part took the highest time. Since I collected data from browser, there were many noises. Also, there were images that contained. I cleaned and updated data using fastai ImageClassifierCleaner. I cleaned the data each time after training or finetuning of the model.

Model Deployment

I deployed the model to HuggingFace Spaces Gradio App. The implementation can be found in app folder or here.

API integration with GitHub Pages

The deployed model API is integrated here in GitHub Pages Website. Implementation and other details can be found in docs folder.
