Off-the-Shelf vs. Custom Models for Industrial Computer Vision
SUMMARY
Use off-the-shelf models for rapid prototyping or when your task relies on detecting common, everyday objects that pre-trained models already recognize. However, to achieve the reliability required for specialized industrial production, you must deploy a custom, fine-tuned model trained specifically on your own domain'
