This is the 3rd major version of this model.
Unfortunately using this model is rather complicated and involves a large number of steps. There is no way around this. This README (will) explain it the best I can though.

The current state of the art (that was presented in the above paper!) is based on DeepLabV3+. A note of caution: this repository contains some older models, so it can be easy to mix them up. Hence this documentation :-)
<------ WRITING HERE
This model is located in the file [`aimodel/src/deeplabv3_plus_test_rainfall.py`](./aimodel/src/deeplabv3_plus_test_rainfall.py), and is controlled via a system of environment variables. Before using it, you must first install any dependencies you're missing:
TODO: Continue the guide here.
```bash
pip3 install --user -r aimodel/requirements.txt
```
The model should work with any recent version of Tensorflow. See the [version table](https://www.tensorflow.org/install/source#gpu) if you are having trouble with CUDA and/or CuDNN.
With requirements installed, we can train a model. The general form this is done is like so:
```bash
cd aimodel
[ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLES_HERE] src/deeplabv3_plus_test_rainfall.py
```
This model has mainly been tested and trained on the [University of Hull's Viper HPC](), which runs [Slurm](). As such, a Slurm job file is available in [`aimodel/slurm-TEST-deeplabv3p-rainfall.job`](./aimodel/slurm-TEST-deeplabv3p-rainfall.job), which wraps the aforementioned script.
The following environment variables are supported:
Environment Variable | Meaning
----------------------------|-------------------------------------------------
IMAGE_SIZE=128 | Optional. Sets the size of the 'images' that the DeepLabV3+ model will work with.
BATCH_SIZE=64 | Optional. Sets the batch size to train the model with.
DIR_RAINFALLWATER | The path to the directory the .tfrecord files containing the rainfall radar / water depth data.
PATH_HEIGHTMAP | The path to the heightmap jsonl file to read in.
PATH_COLOURMAP | The path to the colourmap for predictive purposes.
DIR_OUTPUT | The directory to write output files to. Automatically calculated in the Slurm job files unless manually set. See POSTFIX to alter DIR_OUTPUT without disrupting the automatic calculation. If you are calling `slurm-TEST-deeplabv3p-rainfall.job` directly then you MUST set this environment variable manually.
PARALLEL_READS | Multiplier for the number of files to read in parallel. 1 = number of CPU cores available. Very useful on high-read-latency systems (e.g. HPC like Viper) to avoid starving the GPU of data. WILL MANGLE THE ORDERING OF DATA. Set to 0 to disable and read data sequentially. WILL ONLY NOT MANGLE DATA IF PREDICT_AS_ONE IS SET. Defaults to 1.5.
STEPS_PER_EPOCH | The number of steps to consider an epoch. Defaults to None, which means use the entire dataset.
NO_REMOVE_ISOLATED_PIXELS | Set to any value to avoid the engine from removing isolated pixels - that is, water pixels with no other surrounding pixels, either side to side to diagonally.
EPOCHS=50 | The number of epochs to train for.
LOSS="cross-entropy" | The loss function to use. Default: cross-entropy (possible values: cross-entropy, cross-entropy-dice).
DICE_LOG_COSH | When in cross-entropy-dice mode, in addition do loss = cel + log(cosh(dice_loss)) instead of just loss = cel + dice_loss. Default: unset
WATER_THRESHOLD=0.1 | The threshold to cut water off at when training, in metres. Default: 0.1
PATH_CHECKPOINT | The path to a checkpoint to load. If specified, a model will be loaded instead of being trained.
LEARNING_RATE=0.001 | The learning rate to use. Default: 0.001.
UPSAMPLE=2 | How much to upsample by at the beginning of the model. A value of disables upscaling. Default: 2.
STEPS_PER_EXECUTION=1 | How many steps to perform before surfacing from the GPU to e.g. do callbacks. Default: 1.
RANDSEED | The random seed to use when shuffling filepaths. Default: unset, which means use a random value.
JIT_COMPILE | Set to any value to compile the model with XLA. Defaults to unset; set to any value to enable.
PREDICT_COUNT=25 | The number of items from the (SCRAMBLED) dataset to make a prediction for.
PREDICT_AS_ONE | [prediction only] Set to any value to avoid splitting the input dataset into training/validation and instead treat it as a single dataset. Default: False (treat it as training/validation)
POSTFIX | Postfix to append to the output directory name (primarily auto calculated if DIR_OUTPUT is not specified, but this allows adjustments to be made without setting DIR_OUTPUT).
ARGS | Optional. Any additional arguments to pass to the python program.
> [!IMPORTANT]
> It is strongly advised that all filepaths do **NOT** contain spaces.
**Making predictions:** Set `PATH_CHECKPOINT` to point to a checkpoint file to make predictions with an existing model that you trained earlier instead of training a new one. Data is pulled from the given dataset, same as during training. The first `PREDICT_COUNT` items in the dataset are picked to make a prediction.
> [!NOTE] The dataset pipeline is naturally non-deterministic with respect to the order in which samples are read. Ensuring the ordering of samples is not mangled is only possible when making predictions, and requires a number of environment variables to be set:
>
> - **`PREDICT_AS_ONE`:** Set to any value to disable the training / validation split
> - **`PARALLEL_READS`:** Set to `0` to reading input files sequentially.
