Image classification workflows, when a tag on the frame is enough and a box is too much

One panel per frame at the inspection station wants a tag rather than a box, and a tag costs a fraction of what boxes cost to label and to check.

Object detection vs image classification vs keypoint detection, and how to choose before you label

Is the frame defective, where are the defects, where are the joints of the arm. Three questions on one cell camera, and the answer fixes the label format.

How to reduce dataset size without losing accuracy on recorder footage

A dataset built from a recorder is mostly the same frame repeated. Which frames can go, which must stay, and how to know the model did not notice.
