- `uvicorn[standard]>=0.24.0` - ASGI server
- `python-multipart>=0.0.6` - File upload support

**Preserved dependencies:**
- All ML dependencies (torch, torchvision, grad-cam)
- All image processing dependencies (Pillow, opencv-python-headless)
- All utility dependencies (numpy, matplotlib, requests, tqdm, pydantic)

### 3. `Dockerfile` - UPDATED  
**Before**: Streamlit-optimized container with port 7860
**After**: FastAPI-optimized container with uvicorn server
**Justification**: Maintains Hugging Face Spaces compatibility while switching to FastAPI

**Key Changes:**
- Removed Streamlit environment variables
- Added FastAPI health check endpoint
- Changed CMD from `streamlit run` to `uvicorn app:app`
- Preserved all system dependencies and port 7860

### 4. `README.md` - UPDATED
**Before**: Streamlit-focused documentation
**After**: FastAPI-focused with comprehensive API usage examples
**Justification**: Updated to reflect new REST API interface while preserving all capability descriptions

## 🚫 Files Actually Removed: NONE

**Important**: No files were actually deleted from the project. The conversion was done by:

1. **Modifying existing files** to replace Streamlit functionality with FastAPI equivalents
2. **Preserving all training, evaluation, and CLI capabilities** intact
3. **Maintaining all model assets and data** for continued development
