## Computer Vision for Slope Stability: Land Deformation Monitoring

## Background of Akh-Defo

**Akh-Defo** is derived from two distinct words: 
1. 'Akh' in the Kurdish language, representing land, earth, or soil (originating from the Kurdish Badini dialect).
2. 'Defo', a shorthand for the English term 'deformation'.

# Installation of AkhDefo Software Method 1 on Linux Operating System

**Method 1 works well on Linux Operating System** **Use method 2 to install on Windows Operating System**

This guide provides step-by-step instructions on how to create a Conda environment using the provided [akhdefo_conda_env.yml](akhdefo_conda_env.yml) file. This file specifies all the necessary packages, including their versions, required for the project.

## Prerequisites

- **Conda**: Make sure you have either Anaconda or Miniconda installed on your system. If you do not have Conda installed, you can download it from the [official Anaconda website](https://www.anaconda.com/products/individual) or the [Miniconda website](https://docs.conda.io/en/latest/miniconda.html).

## Creating the Environment

1. **Download the YAML File**: Ensure you have the `akhdefo_conda_env.yml` [Click Here to Download](akhdefo_conda_env.yml) file saved on your computer. This file should be in the directory where you intend to set up the environment, or you should note its path.

2. **Open a Terminal**: Open your terminal (or Command Prompt/PowerShell on Windows) and navigate to the directory containing the [akhdefo_conda_env.yml](akhdefo_conda_env.yml) file. You can navigate to the directory using the `cd` command followed by the path to the directory.

3. **Create the Environment**: Execute the following command in your terminal:

***Make sure to activate conda base environment***

```bash
conda activate base # if base environment not activated

conda install -c conda-forge mamba

mamba env create -f akhdefo_conda_env.yml

```

This command instructs Conda to create a new environment with the name specified in the YAML file (`akhdefo_env`) and install all the listed packages along with their dependencies.

4. **Activate the Environment**: After the environment has been successfully created, you can activate it using the following command:

```bash
conda activate akhdefo_env
```

Activating the environment will set up your terminal session to use the packages and their specific versions installed in this environment.

## Verifying the Installation

To ensure that the environment has been set up correctly and all packages are installed, you can list the installed packages using:

```bash
conda list
```

This command displays a list of all packages installed in the active conda environment.

## Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues during the installation process, make sure you have the latest version of Conda installed, and try updating Conda using the following command:

```bash
conda update conda
```

If problems persist, refer to the [official Conda documentation](https://docs.conda.io/projects/conda/en/latest/user-guide/tasks/manage-environments.html#creating-an-environment-from-an-environment-yml-file) for more detailed information on managing environments with YAML files.

## Conclusion

You now have a dedicated Conda environment for this project, containing all the necessary packages. This environment helps maintain project dependencies isolated from other projects, ensuring reproducibility and consistency.

If you have any questions or need further assistance, please feel free to open an issue in this repository

# Installation of AkhDefo Software Method 2 on Windows Operating System

This guide provides step-by-step instructions on how to create a Conda environment using the provided [ENV_Win.yml](ENV_Win.yml) file. This file specifies all the necessary packages, including their versions, required for the project.

## Prerequisites

## Creating the Environment

1. **Download the YAML File**: Ensure you have the `ENV_Win.yml` [Click Here to Download](ENV_Win.yml) file saved on your computer. This file should be in the directory where you intend to set up the environment, or you should note its path.

2. **Open a Terminal**: Open your terminal (or Command Prompt/PowerShell on Windows) and navigate to the directory containing the [ENV_Win.yml](ENV_Win.yml) file. You can navigate to the directory using the `cd` command followed by the path to the directory.

3. **Create the Environment**: Execute the following command in your terminal:

***Make sure to activate conda base environment***

```bash
conda activate base # if base environment not activated

conda env create -f ENV_Win.yml

```

This command instructs Conda to create a new environment with the name specified in the YAML file (`akhdefo_env`) and install all the listed packages along with their dependencies.

4. **Activate the Environment**: After the environment has been successfully created, you can activate it using the following command:

```bash
conda activate akhdefo_env
```

Activating the environment will set up your terminal session to use the packages and their specific versions installed in this environment.

## Verifying the Installation

To ensure that the environment has been set up correctly and all packages are installed, you can list the installed packages using:

```bash
conda list
```

This command displays a list of all packages installed in the active conda environment.

## Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues during the installation process, make sure you have the latest version of Conda installed, and try updating Conda using the following command:

```bash
conda update conda
```

**Alternatively you can manually create conda environment and install dependencies**

***Follow these steps to install the Akhdefo software manually:***

1. Create a new Python Anaconda environment using the command:

```python
   conda create --name akhdefo_env

conda activate akhdefo_env
   ```

2. Create  Anaconda environment and install the following libraries with Anaconda

```yaml

# Install Python 3.8 and essential packages
#!conda install python=3.8 pip -y

# Install scientific and plotting libraries
!conda install -c conda-forge numpy matplotlib pandas scipy seaborn statsmodels plotly tqdm -y

# Install geospatial libraries
!conda install -c conda-forge geopandas shapely gdal rasterio rioxarray pykrige gstools -y

# Install additional tools for geospatial analysis and visualization
