🐛 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)
