What’s Inside
This guide walks you through how computer vision benchmarks work, from core metrics to how they're used in the industry.
Why ImageNet Isn’t Enough Anymore
Learn why generic ImageNet pretraining falls short for domain-specific tasks like medical imaging, agriculture, and autonomous driving. Understand the limitations of traditional transfer learning and why self-supervised learning (SSL) on unlabeled, in-domain data is a better fit.
Benchmark Results Across Domains and Models
Explore detailed performance comparisons between ImageNet, LightlyTrain, and training from scratch. See how LightlyTrain delivers consistent improvements across datasets (COCO, DeepWeeds, DeepLesion, BDD100K) and architectures (YOLO, RT-DETR, Faster R-CNN), especially when labeled data is scarce.
Implementing Domain-Specific SSL with LightlyTrain
Step-by-step guidance to integrate LightlyTrain into your workflow. Learn how to pretrain models on your own unlabeled data with minimal setup, then fine-tune for your specific application, boosting accuracy, efficiency, and label effectiveness.
