A model can propose labels for unlabelled images, reducing some annotation effort. Those proposals still originate from the model and can carry its existing errors forward.

A mask can contain unwanted specks and legitimate fine features at the same time. An operation that removes one may also alter the other.

Pile, shadows and printed decoration can all create strong image transitions. A line returned by an edge detector does not explain what physical feature produced it.

A contour can support image analysis, but its pixel area is not automatically a physical measurement. Camera geometry and scale remain part of the problem.

Reducing image noise can make a photograph easier to view. It can also suppress small features that matter to a review task.

A tilted or poorly framed label photograph can make text recognition harder. Improving the input is often more useful than immediately changing the recognition model.

Recognising the right characters is insufficient if values are assigned to the wrong rows or columns. Layout is part of extracting usable information from a product document.

A character can be food-themed, embroidered and seasonal at the same time. Forcing those attributes into one exclusive class can discard useful information.

Several models can agree because they share the same blind spot. A combined prediction therefore needs evaluation rather than confidence based on the number of models involved.

A model file is not just an inert spreadsheet. Its format and loading mechanism can create software-security concerns that belong in deployment planning.

A square model input does not require stretching every rectangular product photograph into a square. The resize policy determines how shape information reaches the model.

A tight crop makes a detail larger, but it can also remove information about where that detail belongs. Choose the crop around the question being evaluated.
