When Photos Change: How Computers Learn to See in New Places
Ever taught a phone to recognise faces in daylight, then wondered why it fails at night? That gap is what researchers call domain adaptation, it helps models trained on one kind of visual pictures work on other kinds.
Think sunny photos vs rainy photos, or photos vs drawings; same idea but different look.
Early tricks were simple and shallow, they moved features around so things matched better, but they had limits.
Then came deep learning — big networks that learned adaptation inside, and that changed how well models transfer.
Now people apply these ideas to more than naming what's in a picture.
They tackle object detection, image segmentation, video and even visual attributes, because real apps needs more than labels.
The field mixes simple math ideas and lots of data, it keeps evolving with new tricks almost every month.
Understanding this helps build smarter apps that work in many places, not only where they were trained, and makes everyday tools more reliable for everyone.
