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
