Arrow detection with ConvNext pretrained on DINOv3 [P]
"Labeling 8,000 images by hand is the modern labor equivalent of building the pyramids."
Explain Like I'm Normal
A developer successfully built a highly accurate archery arrow detection system by combining synthetic Blender renders with hand-labeled real-world data. The project highlights that Meta's DINOv3-pretrained ConvNext models currently outperform traditional ResNets and ViTs for niche spatial detection tasks. It serves as a gritty reminder that despite LLM hype, high-quality computer vision still requires massive manual effort and smart data augmentation.
