# VeritaDerm 🩺✨


## 📌 Overview
VeritaDerm is a high-performance computer vision model designed for the automated detection and classification of common dermatological conditions. Trained on a curated dataset of **5,000 images**, VeritaDerm leverages the latest YOLO11 architecture to provide a balance between real-time inference speed and clinical accuracy.

This model is intended to assist in research and act as a preliminary screening tool for identifying dermatological patterns in digital imagery.

## 📊 Performance Metrics
The model achieved the following results on the validation set after rigorous training on an **NVIDIA RTX A6000**:

| Metric | Value |
| :--- | :--- |
| **mAP@.5** | **85.4%** |
| **mAP@.5-.95** | **54.5%** |
| **Precision** | **82.2%** |
| **Recall** | **81.8%** |
| **Inference Speed** | **~4.7ms** (on RTX A6000) |

## 🧬 Supported Classes (8)
The model is trained to identify the following categories:
1. **Acne**
2. **Chicken Skin (Keratosis Pilaris)**
3. **Eczema**
4. **Leprosy**
5. **Psoriasis**
6. **Ringworm**
7. **Warts**
8. **Healthy Skin** (Background/Control)

## 🚀 How to Use
You can run VeritaDerm directly using the `ultralytics` library.

### 1. Install Requirements
```bash
pip install ultralytics
```

### 2. Run Inference
```Python
from ultralytics import YOLO

# Load the model from Hugging Face
model = YOLO("XythicK/veritaderm")

# Predict on an image
results = model.predict(source="path_to_skin_image.jpg", conf=0.25)

# View results
results[0].show()
```
### 🛠️ Training Details
- Hardware: NVIDIA RTX A6000
