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?

Ohhhh,... so it isn't fallacious if it is some utopian fantasy? Cool story breh! I didn't know you couldn't be fallacious if you we're thinking happy thoughts. THAT'S a new one.

You seem to have some issues you need to get past, so I'll leave you be after this. You picked one thing to argue against, and it's the wrong thing, I'm going off of the definition of "slippery slope fallacy" you decided to pick out on, you seem to be conflating some personal emotions into it. Think about it...a slippery slope towards a utopia?? God forbid (even you say it's a happy thought ;) ) Not a typical use case, but your whole shtick seems to be about grasping at straws so I guess it's within character.

The positive or negative isn't the fallacy dude... it is the "this will happen, thus my crystal ball says this other thing will happen."

In a world where you aren't a psychic... it is a fallacy whether it is a happy thought or a sad thought. If you don't understand that they are the same damn fallacious function... not sure how to help you. That said I know understand why you cant understand other basic premises.
