Rule fixes: before and after
The answer in five lines
- On the 172 customer photos from your last vote, 75 photos broke a rule before (127 breaks). With the fixes on, 14 photos do (17 breaks).
- The test score does not move: 317 of the 332 test photos are fully right before and after. Not one photo was lost or gained.
- What a customer would see: photos shot from under the sail come back the right way up (your 671e and 9fad, plus 6 in the test set). The folded-back ends on 11 customer photos are gone. Every line on a photo now runs the same way.
- A lower confidence cut-off makes things worse: 304 of 332 at 0.20 and 300 of 332 at 0.15. It adds wrong lines and finds no missing stripe. I left it out.
- Nothing is live yet. It goes live when you say so.
Before and after
| Before (today) | After (fixes on) | |
|---|---|---|
| Customer photos (170 with lines) with a broken rule | 75 | 14 |
| Broken rules on those photos | 127 | 17 |
| Hard breaks (fold-back, double line, boom) | 17 photos | 3 photos |
| Photos with a folded-back line end | 11 | 0 |
| Photos where lines run different ways | 75 | 0 |
| Customer photos returned head-down | 2 | 0 |
| Customer photos returned sideways | 2 | 2 |
| Test photos (332) fully right | 317 | 317 |
| Missed stripes / extra lines on the 332 | 11 / 12 | 11 / 12 |
| Test photos returned head-down (found by the stripe-length test, checked by eye) | 7 | 1 |
| Scan time, typical photo | 7.0 s | 7.1 s |
Most of the 75 were the rule checker misreading good lines on shots taken up the mast. The checker now reads those the way the sail is set. Of the 14 that still break a rule, 9 are the entry-and-exit check, 2 are the top-stripe check, 2 are a close-up where a real stripe runs corner to corner (kept and flagged, not deleted), 1 is a boom line and 1 is a short fragment line. They are still shown to the customer and still go to the Violated Rules list, as before.
What I did not fix: the two upright photos that come back turned sideways, short lines that stop before the luff or leech (your dc27), and smooth lines on a flapping sail (your f03b). Those need your call on how far a line may move from the model's curve.
Your four photos
671e. Before: upside down, the head at the bottom of the photo. After: turned the right way up. The lines are the same lines, now the right way round.
9fad. Before: turned the wrong way, head at the bottom. After: head at the top.
dc27. One of the two short top lines had a tiny hook at its end (about 10 pixels). It is trimmed off. At this size you will hardly see a difference. The two short top lines are still short.
f03b. Same small hook on the short top line, trimmed. The two long lines are unchanged.
