# 🚀 Deployment Guide for Smart Object Size Estimator This guide explains how to deploy the Smart Object Size Estimator to Hugging Face Spaces. ## 📁 Required Files Make sure you have all these files in your HuggingFace Space: ``` ├── app.py # Main Gradio application ├── requirements.txt # Python dependencies ├── config.yaml # HuggingFace Space configuration ├── README.md # Project documentation ├── DEPLOYMENT.md # This deployment guide └── goal2/ # Source code directory └── src/ └── agent/ ├── __init__.py ├── models.py # AI model loading ├── geometry.py # Size calculations └── io.py # Image processing utilities ``` ## 🔧 Step-by-Step Deployment ### 1. Create a New HuggingFace Space 1. Go to [huggingface.co/spaces](https://huggingface.co/spaces) 2. Click "Create new Space" 3. Choose: - **Space name**: `smart-object-size-estimator` (or your preference) - **License**: MIT - **SDK**: Gradio - **Hardware**: CPU Basic (free tier) or GPU if available ### 2. Upload Files Upload all the files listed above to your Space. You can either: - Use the web interface to drag & drop files - Use git to clone and push files - Use the HuggingFace CLI ### 3. Model Weight Configuration The app automatically downloads model weights: - **Depth Anything V2**: Downloaded from HuggingFace Hub - **SAM**: Downloaded from Facebook's repository No manual model upload required! ### 4. Environment Configuration The `config.yaml` file configures: - Python version: 3.9+ - Gradio SDK version: 4.44.0 - Hardware requirements: CPU (upgradeable to GPU) ### 5. Dependencies Installation All dependencies are listed in `requirements.txt`: - Core ML: PyTorch, transformers - Image processing: OpenCV, PIL, matplotlib - Web interface: Gradio - Utilities: NumPy, scikit-image ## 🚦 Launch Process 1. **Upload files** → Space shows "Building..." 2. **Install dependencies** → Takes ~2-3 minutes 3. **Download models** → First run takes ~1-2 minutes 4. **Ready!** → App accessible at your Space URL ## 📊 Expected Resource Usage ### CPU Version (Free Tier) - **RAM**: ~2-4 GB during inference - **Storage**: ~3 GB (models + dependencies) - **Speed**: 10-30 seconds per image ### GPU Version (Paid Tier) - **RAM**: ~4-6 GB during inference - **Speed**: 3-8 seconds per image - **Cost**: Variable based on usage ## 🔍 Troubleshooting ### Common Issues 1. **"Model download failed"** - Solution: Check internet connectivity, retry after a few minutes - Models are large (1-2 GB total) 2. **"Out of memory" errors** - Solution: Upgrade to GPU hardware or reduce image sizes - The app automatically resizes very large images 3. **"Import errors"** - Solution: Check `requirements.txt` versions - Ensure all dependencies are properly listed 4. **Slow processing** - Solution: Consider upgrading to GPU hardware - CPU processing is slower but works fine ### Debug Mode To enable debugging, set `debug=True` in the `demo.launch()` call: ```python demo.launch(share=True, debug=True) ``` ## 🎯 Performance Optimization ### For Better Speed: 1. Upgrade to GPU hardware 2. Use smaller input images when possible 3. Consider caching models if using persistent storage ### For Better Accuracy: 1. Use camera-specific presets when available 2. Ensure good lighting in input images 3. Choose reference objects with known precise dimensions ## 🔐 Privacy & Security - **No data storage**: Images are processed in memory only - **No user tracking**: No personal data collected - **Model privacy**: All processing happens on HuggingFace servers - **Open source**: All code is publicly available ## 📈 Monitoring & Analytics HuggingFace Spaces provides built-in analytics: - Usage statistics - Performance metrics - Error logs - Resource consumption Access these through your Space settings panel. ## 📞 Support If you encounter issues: 1. **Check the Space logs** in the HuggingFace interface 2. **Review the README.md** for usage instructions 3. **Test with example images** to isolate problems 4. **Consider hardware upgrades** for performance issues ## 🔄 Updates & Maintenance To update the app: 1. Modify files in your local copy 2. Push changes to the Space repository 3. Space will automatically rebuild 4. Test thoroughly after updates ## 📋 Pre-Launch Checklist - [ ] All required files uploaded - [ ] `config.yaml` properly configured - [ ] `requirements.txt` includes all dependencies - [ ] Test with sample images - [ ] Verify camera presets work - [ ] Check reference object system - [ ] Ensure error handling works - [ ] Documentation is complete ## 🎉 Launch! Once everything is set up, your Space will be live at: `https://huggingface.co/spaces/[your-username]/[space-name]` Share this URL with users and enjoy your deployed AI-powered size estimation tool!
