12. Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA)#
helps you understand dataset
detect potential issues
and refine preprocessing steps
12.1. Some Common EDS Tasks#
View image properties (dimensions, color channels, aspect ratios)
Check annotation format (bounding boxes, segmentation masks, class labels)
Understand class distribution (balance of object categories)
Check for missing or corrupt data (empty annotations, unreadable images)
12.2. Tip: Try to build QA/QC in the pipeline#
Quality assurance and Quality control (QA/QC)
Review samples batches of annotated or predicted data
Use automated tools to spot common errors
Have another person double-check the annotations
