Software & Datasets

ULF-Synth

Software

Physics-guided ultra-low-field MRI simulation and enhancement. Simulates realistic ultra-low-field (0.064T) MRI from high-field volumes and provides pretrained models for enhancing real ULF acquisitions to high-field quality. Installable via PyPI.

GhanaAgricVQA

Dataset

A visual question answering dataset for crop disease diagnosis in smallholder farming contexts, built from the RAIL Crop Disease Dataset. Each image has three QA pairs covering identification, action, and prevention, written in farmer-friendly English with Twi translations.
