Frigate+ Option to build custom model without Frigate+ base model.

With close to 10k personal annotations, I'm still seeing obvious false positives that I can only guess is due to the wide variety of base model annotations in environments / configurations that are not similar to mine and the limited size of the live model. I know I can build my own models from scratch but would rather take advantage of the Frigate+ organization of my images. Or maybe add a parameter into the model on a per camera basis along with the other seemingly inert parameters? If the model was using the camera attributes on the Frigate+ page maybe the "indoor" environment would significantly reduce the likelyhood of racoon identifications inside.

For example I see a lot of Black/White IR images showing up as racoon, when there is a very obvious deer / cats in the frame. Im guessing there is an overwhelming amount of IR racoon images in the base model where the model is leaning towards IR == Racoon. Any intense bright spot is a car, etc. ( I purposefully avoid lights directly in camera training)

The suggestion model for the most part gets it right, so I am guessing the live model is not big enough to handle the variations. No matter how many times I verify suggestions (2,100 postives, 910 false p) the live model never really gets better at it.


The bigger suggestion model gets it right about 95% of the time.

Which model type are you using? I'm working on some tests to try a few things before the next base model. Also, send me an email if you haven't already so I can run some tests specifically using your images.

Also, training a model without the base weights will take 50x the amount of GPU time, and that translates to 50x the cost. I don't think that's practical.
