Dataset Bias

Improve the performance of transfer learning by utilizing how the concentration of objects of interest in training data change how well the model transfers to a new dataset with objects of interest concentrated in a different region.

Image Database

To aggregate all scattered data in a centralized location and add general functionality to it. We want to design a database that can retrieve data(image or video), build index by object detection and store the data and index.
