En gros, quasiment pas de confusion entre les 262 classes !

Mais ça classe quoi ce truc ?

Les panneaux du code de la route détectés par @panoramax :)

Plus de 70000 photos ont été annotées semi-manuellement pour l'entraînement.

99,9% of smartphone users already enjoyed seeing a clock and status icons on their phone's lockscreen. Now we #sxmo users are joining the mainstream crowd (something we do only reluctantly if we really need to, and in our own hackable & minimalist way!). I implemented a clock and status icon support in our lockscreen 'peanutbutter' (patch still pending review and merge).
