## [Brief intro](https://github.com/raidionics/AeroPath#brief-intro)

This repository contains the AeroPath dataset described in ["_AeroPath: An airway segmentation benchmark dataset with challenging pathology_"](https://arxiv.org/abs/2311.01138).  A web application was also developed in the study, to enable users to easily test our deep learning model on their own data. The application was developed using [Gradio](https://www.gradio.app) for the frontend and the segmentation is performed using the [Raidionics](https://raidionics.github.io/) backend.

The dataset can be accessed from [Releases](https://github.com/raidionics/AeroPath/releases).

## [Demo](https://github.com/raidionics/AeroPath#demo) <a target="_blank" href="https://huggingface.co/spaces/andreped/AeroPath"><img src="https://img.shields.io/badge/🤗%20Hugging%20Face-Spaces-yellow.svg"></a>

To access the live demo, click on the `Hugging Face` badge above. Below is a snapshot of the current state of the demo app.

## [Development](https://github.com/raidionics/AeroPath#development)

### [Docker](https://github.com/raidionics/AeroPath#docker)

Alternatively, you can deploy the software locally. Note that this is only relevant for development purposes. Simply dockerize the app and run it:

```
docker build -t AeroPath .
docker run -it -p 7860:7860 AeroPath
```

Then open `http://127.0.0.1:7860` in your favourite internet browser to view the demo.

### [Python](https://github.com/raidionics/AeroPath#python)

It is also possible to run the app locally without Docker. Just setup a virtual environment and run the app.
Note that the current working directory would need to be adjusted based on where `AeroPath` is located on disk.

```
git clone https://github.com/raidionics/AeroPath.git
cd AeroPath/

virtualenv -python3 venv --clear
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r ./demo/requirements.txt

python demo/app.py --cwd ./
```
