Reducing computer vision inference costs when a store watches every aisle all day
The bill for watching a camera is set by how often you look, what you decode, and where the model runs. Most of a store's frames need no model at all.

F1 score in computer vision, the failure that accuracy hides on the inspection line
Fifty porous welds in ten thousand parts make accuracy meaningless. F1 balances what was found against what was right, and the threshold is what moves it.

Missing vs null annotations, an empty frame is a label and a forgotten box is a lie
An empty corridor, a defect-free shift and a stocked shelf are labels on purpose. A frame where someone forgot the box looks identical and teaches the opposite.
