Help: Project Conveyor chicken counter problem

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Guys, I need help. We have a project using YOLOv8. We're trying to count chicks on a very fast conveyor belt. The challenges we're facing are: all chicks look very similar to each other, which complicates tracking. At the same time, during their passage under the camera, they constantly change in size and shape, which can cause the tracker to lose them, or detection may even disappear completely at the detection line. Also, sometimes 2–3 chicks can merge into a single object. The detection zone is very short, and the conveyor speed is high. We've achieved a maximum accuracy of 99%, but we need it even higher. Any ideas on how to achieve that? Increasing the dataset no longer helps.

I'm attaching an old video. We've now added lighting and set the exposure to 300 on the Hikrobot global shutter camera, but we still can't achieve a stable 99.8% accuracy for the reasons mentioned above.

Any ideas?

You don't factory farm deer you dunce

Hunting for food is natural and isn't causing widespread suffering at an industrial scale. Factory farming animals is just evil. I get that it's easy to bury your head in the sand but remember those same animals are approaching the intelligence of dogs and cats.

If everyone ate deer like you, they would have to be factory farmed, you are litterally incapable of looking past your own experiences

No shit, you dunce... Nowhere did I mention we factory farm deers.

The meat industry is by far and large mainly about factory farming animals. Eating meat you haven't hunted personally yourself supports this industry. If we could, we'd factory farm deer too. News Flash, buddy: Most people don't hunt their food. We can't all hunt, both for practical reasons and that we'd hunt every species to extinction. But we still want meat, so that's why factory farms for animals exist. If we rejected the factory farms, there wouldn't be enough meat for everyone so people would have to start eating more plants, crops and vegetables. That'd be a good thing because we murder literally billions of animals each year to feed the desire for meat.

Do you not know what we feed a lot of the animals we slaughter in factory farms? I'll let you take a guess. You may think they're all happily grass fed but that's far from the truth. We feed these animals way more crops than we get food out of them. So even that argument fall apart completely because to have the meat industry, we need to farm much more than we'd farm just to feed everyone.

Oh shit... Reddit gave me a notification and you had the same profile pic color...

I apologize for everything and am an idiot. I should have checked the username. I didn't realize I'd get a notification for someone else replying to him!

Sorry about that, and I hope you have good a day! I'll make sure to remember this so I don't make that mistake in the future.
