    Isn’t that true for humans as well? I know I find it harder to see children due to the small size and dark skinned people at night due to, you know, low contrast (especially if they are wearing dark clothes).

    Human vision be racist and ageist

    Ps: but yes, please do improve the algorithms

      Part of the children problem is distinguishing between ‘small’ and ‘far away’. Humans seem reasonably good at it, but from what I’ve seen AIs aren’t there yet.

      Yeah This probably accounts for 90% of the issue.
