Improve Accuracy: Polygon Annotations for Object Detection
SUMMARY
Polygon annotations consistently outperform bounding boxes for object detection when objects have irregular shapes, because polygons eliminate background noise that bounding boxes include. An experiment comparing both annotation types, combined with augmentations (rotation, saturation, cutout, bounding box shear) and pretrained weight initialization, showed meaningful mAP gains at each step.

Pose Estimation Algorithms: History and Evolution
SUMMARY
Pose estimation, the computer vision task of detecting key body joints in images and video, has progressed from hand-crafted geometric methods in the 1990s through graphical models in the 2000s to convolutional neural network approaches that now dominate the field. This overview traces that arc, covering traditional methods,

How to Build a Semantic Image Search Engine with Supabase and OpenAI CLIP
SUMMARY
OpenAI's CLIP model encodes both images and text into a shared embedding space, making it possible to search an image library with a plain text query and get back visually and semantically relevant results. This tutorial builds that system by calling the CLIP model through Roboflow'
