Breast Cancer (IDC) Classification Using Computer Vision & IoT

### Introduction Invasive Ductal Carcinoma (IDC) Classification Using Computer Vision & IoT combines Computer Vision and the Internet of Things to provide researchers, doctors and students with a way to train a neural network with labelled breast cancer histology images to detect Invasive Ductal Carcinoma (IDC) in unseen/unlabelled images. The project uses the power of the Intel® Movidius and uses a custom trained Inception V3 model to carry out image classification, both locally and via a server / client. IoT communication is powered by the [IoT JumpWay](https://iot.techbubbletechnologies.com/) and publishes the results after processing local images or images sent through the API. You can read a technical walk through of this project in Intel® AI Academy Documentation in my article [Machine Learning and Mammography](https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/machine-learning-and-mammography) ### DISCLAIMER This is a project I created as an extension to one of my facial recognition projects, I advise that this is to be used by developers interested in learning about the use cases of computer vision, medical researchers and students, or professionals in the medical industry to evaluate if it may help them and to expand upon. This is not meant to be an alternative for use instead of seeking professional help. I am a developer not a doctor or expert on cancer. * Acknowledgement: Uses code from Intel® movidius/ncsdk ([movidius/ncsdk Github](https://github.com/movidius/ncsdk)) * Acknowledgement: Uses code from chesterkuo imageclassify-movidius ([imageclassify-movidius Github](https://github.com/chesterkuo/imageclassify-movidius)) ![](https://hackernoon.com/hn-images/0*yXOAJLi7vCbeDGRI.jpg) ### What Will We Do? 1.

Make sure you have the Movidius plugged in. $ mkdir -p ~/workspace $ cd ~/workspace $ git clone https://github.com/movidius/ncsdk.git $ cd ~/workspace/ncsdk/api/src $ make $ sudo make install $ cd ~/workspace $ git clone https://github.com/movidius/ncappzoo $ cd ncappzoo/apps/hello_ncs_py $ python3 hello_ncs.py ### Getting Started With The IoT JumpWay There are a few tutorials that you should follow before beginning, especially if it is the first time you have used the IoT JumpWay Developer Program. If you do not already have one, you will require an IoT JumpWay Developer Program developer account, and some basics to be set up before you can start creating your IoT devices. Visit the following [IoT JumpWay Developer Program Docs (5–10 minute read/setup)](https://github.com/iotJumpWay/IoT-JumpWay-Docs/) and check out the guides that take you through registration and setting up your Location Space, Zones, Devices and Applications (About 5 minutes read). ### Install IoT JumpWay Python MQTT Client On Your Raspberry Pi 3 / UP Squared Next install the IoT JumpWay Python MQTT Client on your Raspberry Pi 3 / UP Squared. For this you can execute the following command: $ pip3 install JumpWayMQTT ### IoT JumpWay Device Connection Credentials & Settings * Setup an IoT JumpWay Location Device for IDC Classifier, ensuring you set up a camera node, as you will need the ID of the dummy camera for the project to work. Once your create your device add the location ID and Zone ID to the IoTJumpWay details in the confs file located at model/confs.json, also add the device ID and device name exactly, add the MQTT credentials to the IoTJumpWayMQTT . You will need to edit your device and add the rules that will allow it to communicate autonomously with the other devices and applications on the network, but for now, these are the only steps that need doing at this point. Follow the [IoT JumpWay Developer Program (BETA) Location Device Doc](https://github.com/iotJumpWay/IoT-JumpWay-Docs/blob/master/4-Location-Devices.md) to set up your devices. { "IoTJumpWay": { "Location": 0, "Zone": 0, "Device": 0, "DeviceName" : "", "App": 0, "AppName": "" }, "Actuators": {}, "Cameras": [ { "ID": 0, "URL": 0, "Name": "" } ], "Sensors": {}, "IoTJumpWayMQTT": { "MQTTUsername": "", "MQTTPassword": "" }, "ClassifierSettings":{ "dataset_dir":"model/train/", "log_dir":"model/_logs", "log_eval":"model/_logs_eval", "classes":"model/classes.txt", "labels":"labels.txt", "labels_file":"model/train/labels.txt", "validation_size":0.3, "num_shards":2, "random_seed":50, "tfrecord_filename":"200label", "file_pattern":"200label_%s_*.tfrecord", "image_size":299, "num_classes":2, "num_epochs":60, "dev_cloud_epochs":60, "test_num_epochs":1, "batch_size":10, "test_batch_size":36, "initial_learning_rate":0.0001, "learning_rate_decay_factor":0.96, "num_epochs_before_decay":10, "NetworkPath":"", "InceptionImagePath":"model/test/", "InceptionThreshold": 0.54, "InceptionGraph":"igraph" } } ### Cloning The Repo You will need to clone this repository to a location on your development terminal. Navigate to the directory you would like to download it to and issue the following commands. $ git clone https://github.com/iotJumpway/IoT-JumpWay-Intel-Examples.git Once you have the repo, you will need to find the files in this folder located in [IoT-JumpWay-Intel-Examples/master/Intel-Movidius/IDC-Classification](https://github.com/iotJumpway/IoT-JumpWay-Intel-Examples/tree/master/Intel-Movidius/IDC-Classification). ### Preparing Your IDC Training Data For this tutorial, I used a dataset from Kaggle ( [Predict IDC in Breast Cancer Histology Images](https://www.kaggle.com/paultimothymooney/predict-idc-in-breast-cancer-histology-image) ), but you are free to use any dataset you like. I have uploaded the collection I used for positive and negative images which you will find in the model/traindirectory. Once you decide on your dataset you need to arrange your data into the model/train directory. Each subdirectory should be named with integers, I used 0 and 1 to represent positive and negative. In my testing I used 4400 positive and 4400 negative examples giving an overall training accuracy of 0.8596 (See Training Results below) and an average confidence of 0.96 on correct identifications. The data provided is 50px x 50px, as Inception V3 was trained on images of size 299px x 299px, the images are resized to 299px x 299px, ideally the images would be that size already so you may want to try different datasets and see how your results vary. ### Finetuning Your Training Parameters You can finetune the settings of the network at any time by editing the classifier settings in the model/confs.json file. "ClassifierSettings":{ "dataset_dir":"model/train/", "log_dir":"model/_logs", "log_eval":"model/_logs_eval", "classes":"model/classes.txt", "labels":"labels.txt", "labels_file":"model/train/labels.txt", "validation_size":0.3, "num_shards":2, "random_seed":50, "tfrecord_filename":"200label", "file_pattern":"200label_%s_*.tfrecord", "image_size":299, "num_classes":2, "num_epochs":60, "dev_cloud_epochs":60, "test_num_epochs":1, "batch_size":10, "test_batch_size":36, "initial_learning_rate":0.0001, "learning_rate_decay_factor":0.96, "num_epochs_before_decay":10, "NetworkPath":"", "InceptionImagePath":"model/test/", "InceptionThreshold": 0.54, "InceptionGraph":"igraph" } ### Training Your IDC Model On Intel® AI DevCloud Now you are ready to upload the files and folders outlined below to AI DevCloud. model tools DevCloudTrainer.ipynb DevCloudTrainer.py Eval.py Once uploaded, follow the instructions in DevCloudTrainer.ipynb, this notebook will help you sort your data, train your model and evaluate it. ### Training Results ![](https://hackernoon.com/hn-images/0*Jocxu_GDUckHyIHV.jpg) ![](https://hackernoon.com/hn-images/0*n3tBlUnLzggEYF51.jpg) ### Evaluating Your Model Once you have completed your training on the AI DevCloud, complete the notebook by running the evaluation job.

Compile the model for Movidius 2. Test ### Testing Your IDC Model Once the shell script has finished the testing program will start. In my example I had two classes 0 and 1 (IDC negative & IDC positive), a classification of 0 shows that the AI thinks the image is not IDC positive, and a classification of 1 is positive. -- Loaded Test Image model/test/negative.png -- DETECTION STARTING -- STARTED: : 2018-04-24 14:14:26.780554 -- DETECTION ENDING -- ENDED: 2018-04-24 14:14:28.691870 -- TIME: 1.9114031791687012 ******************************************************************************* inception-v3 on NCS ******************************************************************************* 0 0 0.9873 1 1 0.01238 ******************************************************************************* -- Loaded Test Image model/test/positive.png -- DETECTION STARTING -- STARTED: : 2018-04-24 14:14:28.699254 -- DETECTION ENDING -- ENDED: 2018-04-24 14:14:30.577683 -- TIME: 1.878432035446167ß TASS Identified IDC with a confidence of 0.945 -- Published to Device Sensors Channel ******************************************************************************* inception-v3 on NCS ******************************************************************************* 1 1 0.945 0 0 0.05542 ******************************************************************************* -- INCEPTION V3 TEST MODE ENDING -- ENDED: 2018-04-24 14:14:30.579247 -- TESTED: 2 -- IDENTIFIED: 1 -- TIME(secs): 3.984593152999878 ### Serving Your Live IDC Model Now that we are all trained and tested, it is time to set up the server that will serve the API. For this I have provided Server.pyand Client.py The following instructions will help you set up your server and test a positive and negative prediction: 1. If you used the [Predict IDC in Breast Cancer Histology Images](https://www.kaggle.com/paultimothymooney/predict-idc-in-breast-cancer-histology-image) dataset, you can use the positive.png & negative.png as they are from that dataset, if not you should chose a positive and negative example from your testing set and replace these images. 2. The server is currently set to start up on localhost, if you would like to change this you need to edit line 281 of Server.pyand line 38 of Client.py to match your desired host. Once you have things working, if you are going to be leaving this running and access it from the outside world you shoud secure it with LetsEncrypt or similar. 3. Upload the following files and folders to the UP Squared or Raspberry Pi 3 that you are going to use for the server. model/test/ model/classes.txt model/confs.json tools igraph Server.py 1. Open up a terminal and navigate to the to the folder containing Server.py then issue the following command. This will start the server and wait to receive images for classification. $ python3.5 Server.py 1. If you have followed all of the above steps, you can now start the client on your development machine with the following commands: $ python3.5 Client.py This will send a positive and negative histology slide to the Raspberry Pi 3 / UP Squared which will return the predictions. !!

For this, I already created a tutorial for the IoT JumpWay Raspberry Pi Dev Kit IoT Alarm that will guide you through this process. The only difference is that you do not need to set up the Python commands application, as in this project, the IDC server will replace the Python commands application, to save time, please only follow the steps for Device.py and not Application.py. You will need to uncomment lines 104–107 to ensure that the LEDs and buzzer turn off after some time, you can update line 107 to set the amount of time to keep them running for. You will find the tutorial on the following link: [IoT JumpWay Raspberry Pi Dev Kit IoT Alarm](https://github.com/iotJumpway/IoT-JumpWay-RPI-Examples/tree/master/Dev-Kit-IoT-Alarm/Python) Once you have completed that tutorial and have your device setup, return here to complete the final integration steps. ### Setting Up Your Rules You are now ready to take the final steps, at this point you should have everything set up and your Raspberry Pi Dev Kit IoT Alarm should be running and connected to the IoT JumpWay waiting for instructions. Next we are going to set up the rules that allow the IDC server to control your Raspberry Pi Dev Kit IoT Alarm autonomously. Go back to the IDC device edit page. Scroll down to below where you added the camera node and you will see you are able to add rules. ![](https://hackernoon.com/hn-images/0*UzY9ondQGbDIc_pl.PNG) The rules that we want to add are as follows: 1. When IDC is identified, turn on the red LED. 2. When IDC is identified, turn on the buzzer. 3. When IDC is not identified, turn on the blue LED. The events are going be triggered by warning messages sent from the IDC classifier / server, so in the On Event Of drop down, select WARNING. Then you need to select the camera node you added to the IDC device, as this is the sensor that the warning will come from. Next choose RECOGNISED in the With Warning Of, which will mean that the rule will be triggered when the IoT JumpWay receives a warning message that IDC has been identified, then select the Send Device Command for the Take The Following Action section, choose the Raspberry Pi Dev Kit IoT Alarm as the device, the red LED as the sensor/actuator, TOGGLE as the action and on as the command. This will then tell the Raspberry Pi to turn on the red light in the event of IDC being detected, repeat this process for the buzzer. Finally repeat the LED command for the blue LED but with NOT RECOGNISED in the With Warning Of and selecting the ID that represents the blue LED you set up on the Raspberry Pi. ### Viewing Your Data When the program processes an image, it will send sensor & warning data where relevant to the [IoT JumpWay](https://iot.techbubbletechnologies.com/). You will be able to access the data in the [IoT JumpWay Developers Area](https://iot.techbubbletechnologies.com/developers/dashboard/). Once you have logged into the Developers Area, visit the [IoT JumpWay Location Devices Page](https://iot.techbubbletechnologies.com/developers/location-devices), find your device and then visit the Sensor Data pages to view the data sent from the device. You can also view command messages for the Raspberry Pi in the Raspberry Pi device page under the Commands tab. ![](https://hackernoon.com/hn-images/0*eiOjmt_KghFiCf9Q.png) ![](https://hackernoon.com/hn-images/0*-XtDGbqwbKLDwu88.png) ### Bugs/Issues Please feel free to create issues for bugs and general issues you come across whilst using this or any other Intel® related IoT JumpWay issues. You may also use the issues area to ask for general help whilst using the IoT JumpWay in your IoT projects. ### Contributors ![](https://hackernoon.com/hn-images/0*FvLWV2CqJzU_ls5d.jpg) [![](https://hackernoon.com/hn-images/1*PZjwR1Nbluff5IMI6Y1T6g@2x.png)](https://goo.gl/w4Pbea)
