Coding Phase 1.3

Hi!

Welcome back to my blog! This week I worked further on the implementation of U-Net using deeplearning4j. According to what was decided in the last meeting, there were two tasks I needed to focus primarily on: 

1. Writing a function for model inference. 
For model inferring using deeplearning4j, we can use
INDArray output = model.output(input)
Here, the 'model' is UNet and 'input' is the INDArray of input images. 
I used the code from
https://gist.github.com/AlexDBlack/3a4f58edcf243ef4d3faa73ee176eb04 as a template, which worked after introducing some relevant changes. I modified the original U-Net code by adding this function. 

2. Training the U-Net model on 100 images from the original dataset over 50 epochs.
As a precursor to training the model with 100 images, I decided to test the modified code first. I run it with 5 images from our dataset, over 5 epochs. I got a blank image.
For further verification, I then trained the model with 100 images over 50 epochs (as instructed).

Unfortunately, the result was again a plain white, blank image.
The image was so very blank that I had to view it like this!


By now, it was certain that there was some problem with the code and maybe the model was not getting trained properly. So I changed some parameters (like learning rate) one by one and run the code again. Disappointingly, the output did not change.
I now tried to run the code https://github.com/montardon/unetdl4j/blob/master/TrainUnetModel.java, as it seemed more likely to work. There were a few errors, which I was able to fix. After making all appropriate changes, I run this code with 100 images from our dataset over 5 epochs. This is the result. An improvement, I reckon......


.......but still, a long way to go.

After this, I finally decided to train the model on 100 images over 50 epochs.

Ground Truth

I am now working on writing code for binarizing the image obtained as an output. Thanks to my mentors for their awesome guidance!

Will be back with further updates
Tạm biệt!
