-# LocalMedScan - Malaria MobileNetV2
+# MobileNetV2 (Fine-Tuned) — Malaria Parasite Detection
 
-MobileNetV2 fine-tuned for malaria parasite detection from blood smear microscopy images.
+**Recommended production model.** Fine-tuned MobileNetV2 for malaria parasite detection from thin blood smear microscopy images. Achieves **97.97% test accuracy** — the highest in our model family. Part of [LocalMedScan](https://github.com/Svetozar-Technologies/LocalMedScan).

+### Comparison with PlasmoSENet
+
+| Model | Params | Size | Accuracy (TTA) | F1 | Training |
+|:------|:------:|:----:|:--------------:|:--:|:---------|
+| **MobileNetV2** (this model) | 3.4M | 14 MB | **97.97%** | **97.95%** | Fine-tuned from ImageNet |
+| [PlasmoSENet](https://huggingface.co/Svetozar1993/LocalMedScan-malaria-plasmosenet) | 10.6M | 41 MB | 96.55% | 96.47% | Trained from scratch |
+
+MobileNetV2 outperforms PlasmoSENet by 1.42 percentage points while being 3x smaller and 3x faster. Transfer learning from ImageNet provides a decisive advantage on this dataset size (27K images).
+
+**Use MobileNetV2 for deployment. Use PlasmoSENet for research** into domain-specific architectures or when ImageNet-free training is required.
+
+## Key Achievements
+
+1. **97.97% test accuracy** with 5-view TTA — exceeds most published results on this benchmark
+2. **3-phase progressive unfreezing** prevents catastrophic forgetting while maximizing adaptation
+3. **TransformSubset bug fix** — corrected a common PyTorch `random_split` bug where train/val/test subsets inadvertently share transforms, causing training to run without augmentation
+4. **5-view TTA** exploiting blood cell rotational invariance (+0.29% accuracy)
+5. **Lightweight** — 14 MB model runs on any device including mobile
+
+## Training Details
+
+### 3-Phase Progressive Unfreezing
+
+- **Phase 1**: Classifier head only (frozen backbone)
+- **Phase 2**: Last inverted residual blocks unfrozen, reduced LR
+- **Phase 3**: Full end-to-end fine-tuning, further reduced LR
+
+### Augmentation
+
+Strong augmentation pipeline with RandomResizedCrop, RandomRotation(90), ColorJitter, GaussianBlur, and RandomErasing. The `TransformSubset` wrapper ensures training and validation use independent transforms.
+
+## Dataset
+
+**NIH Malaria Cell Images Dataset** (Rajaraman et al., 2018)
+- 27,558 annotated cell images from Giemsa-stained thin blood smears
+- 13,779 Parasitized + 13,779 Uninfected (balanced)
+- Split: 80% train / 10% val / 10% test (seed=42)
 
 ## Usage
 
+```python
+import torch
+import torchvision.models as models
+
+# Load model
+model = models.mobilenet_v2(weights=None)
+model.classifier[1] = torch.nn.Linear(model.last_channel, 2)
+state_dict = torch.load("model.pth", map_location="cpu", weights_only=True)
+model.load_state_dict(state_dict)
+model.eval()
+
+# Inference
+from torchvision import transforms
+from PIL import Image
 
+transform = transforms.Compose([
+    transforms.Resize((224, 224)),
+    transforms.ToTensor(),
+    transforms.Normalize(mean=[0.485, 0.456, 0.406], std=[0.229, 0.224, 0.225]),
+])
