🛠️ Installation

Prerequisites

• Python 3.8 or higher
• CUDA-compatible GPU (recommended for optimal performance)
• Git LFS for model files

Option 1: From Source

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/amasuba/BioViT3R-Beta.git
cd BioViT3R-Beta

# Create virtual environment
python -m venv biovitr_env
source biovitr_env/bin/activate  # On Windows: biovitr_env\Scripts\activate

# Install dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt

# Install package in development mode
pip install -e .

Option 2: Using pip (when published)

pip install biovitr-beta

Option 3: Docker

# Build the Docker image
docker build -t biovitr-beta .

# Run with GPU support
docker run --gpus all -p 7860:7860 biovitr-beta

🚀 Quick Start

Web Interface

Launch the Gradio web interface:

python app.py

Visit http://localhost:7860 in your browser to access the interactive interface.

Command Line Interface

Process a single image:

python main.py single /path/to/plant/image.jpg /path/to/output/

Batch process multiple images:

python main.py batch /path/to/images/ /path/to/output/ --analysis-type complete

Python API

from src.models.vggt_reconstructor import VGGTReconstructor
from src.models.plant_analyzer import PlantAnalyzer

# Initialize models
reconstructor = VGGTReconstructor('models/vggt/')
analyzer = PlantAnalyzer({'health_classification_path': 'models/health_classification/'})

# Load and analyze image
import cv2
image = cv2.imread('path/to/plant/image.jpg')

# 3D reconstruction
point_cloud, mesh = reconstructor.reconstruct_3d(image)

# Health analysis
health_results = analyzer.analyze_health(image)

print(f"Health Score: {health_results['health_score']}")
print(f"Detected Issues: {health_results['detected_issues']}")

📖 Usage

Analysis Types

Complete Analysis

Performs all available analyses including 3D reconstruction, health assessment, fruit detection, and biomass estimation.

# Via CLI
python main.py single image.jpg output/ --analysis-type complete

# Via API
results = app.analyze_plant(image, analysis_type="complete")

3D Reconstruction Only

python main.py single image.jpg output/ --analysis-type 3d

Health Assessment Only

python main.py single image.jpg output/ --analysis-type health

Fruit Detection Only

python main.py single image.jpg output/ --analysis-type fruits

Supported Image Formats

• JPEG/JPG
