Good Practices for Image Collection

  • Consistent Lighting

    Avoid shadows, use natural light, and maintain a consistent light source.

  • Background

    Use a plain, consistent background.

  • Camera Settings

    Use fixed settings for ISO, aperture, and shutter speed. Capture high-resolution images.

  • Subject Positioning

    Center the subject and maintain consistent angles.

  • Diverse Data

    Capture from various angles and under different conditions.

  • Focus

    Ensure sharp focus on the subject.

  • Quantity

    Collect a large number of images. Balance the dataset with similar amounts of each class.
