# Repository Structure
This repository is organised to support reproducibility, comparison, and documentation of both the baseline and adapted deforestation detection models.
## ChosenContext/
Contains contextual and methodological documentation for the adapted Cameroon study:
- Adapted Model Architecture Changes – Details modifications made to the baseline Attention U-Net architecture.
- Challenge and SDG Alignment – Discusses project challenges and alignment with relevant Sustainable Development Goals.
- Dataset Curation – Describes data sourcing, preprocessing decisions, and ethical considerations.
- Cameroon/ – Core implementation for the adapted model, including:
* Scripts to generate image tiles
* Generated tiles
* Training scripts
* Trained model weights
* Training and evaluation results
## ReplicateBaseline/
Supports full reproduction of the original baseline model:
- environment.yml – Conda environment file listing all required dependencies.
- Reproduce Baseline – Notebook and scripts to reproduce baseline results from the original repository.
- Environment Setup Documentation – Detailed explanation of environment setup and dependency management.
- Original Repository – Unmodified files from the original Attention U-Net repository, included for reference and transparency.
## Comparing The Models/
- Contains scripts and outputs used to quantitatively compare the baseline and adapted models, including per-image and aggregate perf …
