🐛 Troubleshooting

Common Issues & Solutions

Models Not Loading

Problem: "Model not found" or loading errors
Solution: 
  1. Verify model files exist: dir models\*.h5
  2. Check file sizes (should be >1MB)
  3. Retrain if missing: python train_all_models.py
  4. Use compile=False when loading

Poor Detection Accuracy

Problem: Low confidence or incorrect predictions
Solution:
  1. Use higher quality input files
  2. Ensure proper lighting (for images/videos)
  3. Retrain with more diverse datasets
  4. Adjust confidence thresholds in code

Out of Memory (Training)

Problem: CUDA out of memory or RAM exhaustion
Solution:
  1. Reduce batch_size in training script
  2. Use smaller input image size
  3. Enable mixed precision training
  4. Reduce max_samples parameter

Streamlit Won't Start

Problem: ModuleNotFoundError or import errors
Solution:
  1. Activate virtual environment: .\dlib_env\Scripts\activate
  2. Reinstall dependencies: pip install -r requirements.txt
  3. Upgrade Streamlit: pip install --upgrade streamlit
  4. Check port availability: netstat -ano | findstr :8501

Database Errors

Problem: SQLite errors or missing tables
Solution:
  1. Backup current DB: copy history\detection_history.db backup.db
  2. Delete corrupted DB: del history\detection_history.db
  3. Restart app (auto-creates fresh database)
