Briefly, I

  • used a sliding window approach for data augmentation to handle high-resolution images or small objects
  • initially trained YOLOV8 model shows overfitting (high variance): high performance on training data but low performance on testing data
  • performed Active Learning by focusing on the “weakest” labels and adding more targeted data
  • eventually, obtained a high-performance model
