# Preprocessing consistency
|
|
|
|
Preprocessing consistency is one of the biggest factors behind stable model
|
|
performance.
|
|
|
|
## Why consistency matters
|
|
|
|
The detector is trained on spectrograms produced by a specific preprocessing
|
|
pipeline.
|
|
If inference uses different settings, the model can see a shifted input
|
|
distribution and performance may drop.
|
|
|
|
Typical mismatch sources:
|
|
|
|
- sample-rate differences,
|
|
- changed frequency crop,
|
|
- changed STFT window/hop,
|
|
- changed spectrogram transforms.
|
|
|
|
## Practical implication
|
|
|
|
When possible, keep preprocessing settings aligned between:
|
|
|
|
- training,
|
|
- evaluation,
|
|
- deployment inference.
|
|
|
|
If you intentionally change preprocessing, treat this as a new experiment and
|
|
re-validate on reviewed local data.
