## 🎯 Overview

DocumentClassifier is a deep learning model designed for automatic document type classification. This ONNX version provides optimized inference for production environments with enhanced performance through JPQD (Joint Pruning, Quantization, and Distillation) optimization.

### Key Features

- **High Accuracy**: Reliable document type classification across multiple categories
- **Fast Inference**: ~28ms per document on CPU (35+ FPS)
- **Production Ready**: ONNX format for cross-platform deployment
- **Memory Efficient**: Optimized model size with JPQD compression
- **Easy Integration**: Simple Python API with comprehensive examples

## 🚀 Quick Start

### Installation

```bash
pip install onnxruntime opencv-python pillow numpy
```

### Basic Usage

```python
from example import DocumentClassifierONNX
import cv2

# Initialize model
classifier = DocumentClassifierONNX("DocumentClassifier.onnx")

# Classify document from image file
result = classifier.classify("document.jpg")
print(f"Document type: {result['predicted_category']}")
print(f"Confidence: {result['confidence']:.3f}")

# Get top predictions
for pred in result['top_predictions']:
    print(f"{pred['category']}: {pred['confidence']:.3f}")
```

### Command Line Interface

```bash
# Classify a document image
python example.py --image document.jpg

# Run performance benchmark  
python example.py --benchmark --iterations 100

# Demo with dummy data
python example.py

## 🔧 Advanced Usage

### Batch Processing

```python
import numpy as np
from example import DocumentClassifierONNX

classifier = DocumentClassifierONNX()

# Process multiple images
image_paths = ["doc1.jpg", "doc2.pdf", "doc3.png"]
results = []

for path in image_paths:
    result = classifier.classify(path)
    results.append({
        'file': path,
        'category': result['predicted_category'],
        'confidence': result['confidence']
    })

# Display results
for r in results:
    print(f"{r['file']}: {r['category']} ({r['confidence']:.3f})")
```

### Custom Preprocessing

```python
import cv2
import numpy as np

# Load and preprocess image manually
image = cv2.imread("document.jpg")
image = cv2.cvtColor(image, cv2.COLOR_BGR2RGB)

# Resize to model input size
resized = cv2.resize(image, (224, 224))
normalized = resized.astype(np.float32) / 255.0

# Convert to CHW format and add batch dimension
chw = np.transpose(normalized, (2, 0, 1))
batched = np.expand_dims(chw, axis=0)

# Run inference
classifier = DocumentClassifierONNX()
logits = classifier.predict(batched)
result = classifier.decode_output(logits)
```

## 🛠️ Integration Examples

### Flask Web Service

```python
from flask import Flask, request, jsonify
from example import DocumentClassifierONNX

app = Flask(__name__)
classifier = DocumentClassifierONNX()

@app.route('/classify', methods=['POST'])
def classify_document():
    file = request.files['document']
    
    # Save and process file
    file.save('temp_document.jpg')
    result = classifier.classify('temp_document.jpg')
    
    return jsonify({
        'category': result['predicted_category'],
        'confidence': float(result['confidence']),
        'top_predictions': result['top_predictions']
    })

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app.run(host='0.0.0.0', port=5000)
```

### Batch Processing Script

```python
import os
import glob
from example import DocumentClassifierONNX

def classify_directory(input_dir, output_file):
    classifier = DocumentClassifierONNX()
    
    # Find all image files
    extensions = ['*.jpg', '*.jpeg', '*.png', '*.pdf']
    files = []
    for ext in extensions:
        files.extend(glob.glob(os.path.join(input_dir, ext)))
    
    results = []
    for file_path in files:
        try:
            result = classifier.classify(file_path)
            results.append({
                'file': os.path.basename(file_path),
                'category': result['predicted_category'],
                'confidence': result['confidence']
            })
            print(f"✓ {file_path}: {result['predicted_category']}")
        except Exception as e:
            print(f"✗ {file_path}: Error - {e}")
    
    # Save results
    import json
    with open(output_file, 'w') as f:
        json.dump(results, f, indent=2)

from PIL import Image
img = Image.open("document.pdf").convert("RGB")
result = classifier.classify(np.array(img))
```

## 📖 Technical Details

### Architecture
- **Base Model**: Deep Convolutional Neural Network
- **Input Processing**: Standard ImageNet preprocessing
- **Feature Extraction**: CNN backbone with global pooling
- **Classification Head**: Dense layers with softmax activation
- **Optimization**: JPQD quantization for size and speed

### Preprocessing Pipeline
1. **Image Loading**: PIL/OpenCV image loading
2. **Resizing**: Bilinear interpolation to 224×224
3. **Normalization**: [0, 255] → [0, 1] range
4. **Format Conversion**: HWC → CHW (channels first)
5. **Batch Addition**: Single image → batch dimension

### Output Processing
1. **Feature Extraction**: CNN backbone outputs [1, 1280, 7, 7]
2. **Global Pooling**: Spatial averaging to [1, 1280]
3. **Classification**: Map features to category probabilities
4. **Top-K Selection**: Return most likely categories
