Error trying to run inference about alveolar_canal

[LucaLumetti]

Hi Renan,
Thank you for pointing that out. The problem was raised because you removed the preprocessing: while it should support setting preprocessing: None, it does not expect it to be removed. Please take a look at how I handle this at this line.

I suggest you set preprocessing: None (or better, I would suggest employing a basic preprocessing like the one provided as it greatly improves the network performance).

Moreover, I see that you set dataset: ./data/MG_scan_test.nii.gz. This will not work, the code does not expect a .nii.gz file as a dataset, instead, it expects a folder that contains a splits.json file and at least 1 patient folder with a data.npy and gt_alpha.npy files. The folder structure supported is the one you can see at https://ditto.ing.unimore.it/maxillo. For more in-depth information, you can look at how I do load the dataset here.
If you would like to employ a custom dataset (which can be a single file), you have to write a dataset class by yourself which allows it to be iterated and provides a numpy array.
The code I have written for the Maxillo dataset is a good example, and you can have a look at it to implement your own.
Take also a look at the inference method to check how I used TorchIO to load the data. Here you will have to substitute Maxillo() with your custom dataset class.

Of course, if you have further questions, feel free to ask.

Thanks for the quick answer, I had realised the mistake on the data part and will probably just redo the inference code so it can just take one file and receive the parameters through the command line. As for the pre-processing, thanks for the tip, but I can't seem to find the pre-processing field at all in the recommended experiment.yml template?

that is the yml posted on the github page, is it supposed to have a preprocessing field? It is not included in gen-inference-unet.yaml either:

That is my bad, I missed it while creating the template for some reason.
You can find it at gen-training-unet.yaml.
Basically, you have to add this line in the config file:
preprocessing: configs/preprocessing.yaml
In the preprocessing.yaml file you can see that it includes a clip between 0 and 2100 and then it rescales everything in the 0-1 float range.
I have updated the template in the README.md

As always, if you need any further questions, feel free to ask. Otherwise, I'll close the issue.

That was it, thanks for the help.
