# 🩺 PointDetectCount-Qwen2.5-VL-7B-LoRA

**Model:** `SimulaMet/PointDetectCount-Qwen2.5-VL-7B-LoRA`  
**Base model:** [`Qwen/Qwen2.5-VL-7B-Instruct`](https://huggingface.co/Qwen/Qwen2.5-VL-7B-Instruct)  
**Library:** `peft` (LoRA)  
**Paper:** [arXiv:2505.16647](https://doi.org/10.48550/arXiv.2505.16647)  
**Code:** [GitHub - simula/PointDetectCount](https://github.com/simula/PointDetectCount)  
**Dataset:** [`SimulaMet/MedMultiPoints`](https://huggingface.co/datasets/SimulaMet/MedMultiPoints)

## 📌 Model Summary

`PointDetectCount-Qwen2.5-VL-7B-LoRA` is a **multi-task medical vision-language model** fine-tuned using **LoRA** on top of **Qwen2.5-VL-7B-Instruct**, a vision-language instruction-following model. This model performs **pointing (localization), bounding box detection**, and **object counting** on medical images using natural language prompts and structured JSON outputs.

It is trained on the [MedMultiPoints dataset](https://huggingface.co/datasets/SimulaMet/MedMultiPoints), a multimodal collection of endoscopic and microscopic images with clinical annotations.

---

## 🧠 Intended Uses

- **Medical image localization**: Predict spatial locations (points/bounding boxes) of anatomical/clinical findings.
- **Object counting**: Accurately estimate number of objects like polyps, clusters, or cells in medical images.
- **Instruction-tuned VQA**: Accepts natural language queries prompting multimodal image understanding.

This model is designed for **research purposes**, particularly in **medical vision-language modeling**, and should not be used directly for clinical diagnosis.

## 🚀 How to Use

```python
import torch
from PIL import Image

from peft import PeftModel
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM

base_model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("/home/sushant/.cache/modelscope/hub/Qwen/Qwen2___5-VL-7B-Instruct")
model = PeftModel.from_pretrained(base_model, "SimulaMet/PointDetectCount-Qwen2.5-VL-7B-LoRA")

image = Image.open("example.jpg").convert("RGB")
prompt = "Return bounding boxes for each polyp in the image and the total count."

inputs = processor(text=prompt, images=image, return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)
with torch.no_grad():
    outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=512)

print(processor.batch_decode(outputs, skip_special_tokens=True)[0])
```

- **Hardware:** Single NVIDIA A100 (80GB)
- **Epochs:** 5  
- **Batch size:** 4 (gradient accumulation used)  
- **Learning rate:** 2e-4

## 📁 Repository Structure

- `create_datasetJSON.py`: Converts raw annotations into instruction-response format
- `evaluate_qwen.py`: Parses and evaluates model outputs vs. ground truth
- `MedMultiPoints-images/`: Folder containing the training/validation images

---

## 🧪 Evaluation

Each model output is parsed to extract:
- Bounding box coordinates
- Point coordinates
- Object count

The parsed outputs are compared against the ground truth for each modality (GI tract, sperm, clusters, etc.). Accuracy is measured through precision/recall on detection, mean absolute error for counting, and proximity scores for pointing.

---

## 🛑 Limitations

- Trained only on limited domains (GI endoscopy, microscopy).
- Not certified for real-world clinical use.
- Output format depends on correct JSON generation—parsing may fail with malformed outputs.
