How I use Computer Vision and Twilio to Guarantee Availability at Busy Public Tennis Courts
Some people don’t follow the rules at public tennis courts.
Most city courts are first-come-first-serve, and you’re meant to limit play to a
set amount of time if people are waiting. However, people often try to get away

How to Use Tiling During Inference
Tiling is especially helpful and can improve accuracy for aerial images and small object detection. Like the human eye, computer vision models can have a difficult time detecting small objects from far away because it gives us less visual data to do accurate inference on.

Using Polygon Annotations for Object Detection in Computer Vision
Benefits to Existing Models
Polygons have traditionally been used for training image segmentation models
[https://blog.roboflow.com/instance-segmentation-training-roboflow/], but
polygons can also improve the training of object detection models
[https://blog.roboflow.com/object-detection/] (which predict bounding boxes).
Object detection models are typically much faster and more widely supported,
