## FAQs
Here are some questions that might encounter while defining your computer vision project:
- **Q1:** How do I set effective and measurable objectives for my computer vision project?
- **A1:** To set effective and measurable objectives, follow the SMART criteria: Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound. Define what success looks like, how it will be measured, ensure the goals are attainable with available resources, align them with broader project aims, and set a deadline.

## FAQ
### How do I define a clear problem statement for my Ultralytics computer vision project?
To define a clear problem statement for your Ultralytics computer vision project, follow these steps:
1. **Identify the Core Issue:** Pinpoint the specific challenge your project aims to solve.
2. **Determine the Scope:** Clearly outline the boundaries of your problem.
3. **Consider End Users and Stakeholders:** Identify who will be affected by your solution.
4. **Analyze Project Requirements and Constraints:** Assess available resources and any technical or regulatory limitations.
Providing a well-defined problem statement ensures that the project remains focused and aligned with your objectives. For a detailed guide, refer to our [practical guide](#defining-a-clear-problem-statement).
### Why should I use Ultralytics YOLOv8 for speed estimation in my computer vision project?
Ultralytics YOLOv8 is ideal for speed estimation because of its real-time object tracking capabilities, high accuracy, and robust performance in detecting and monitoring vehicle speeds. It overcomes inefficiencies and inaccuracies of traditional radar systems by leveraging cutting-edge computer vision technology. Check out our blog on [speed estimation using YOLOv8](https://www.ultralytics.com/blog/ultralytics-yolov8-for-speed-estimation-in-computer-vision-projects) for more insights and practical examples.
### How do I set effective measurable objectives for my computer vision project with Ultralytics YOLOv8?
Set effective and measurable objectives using the SMART criteria:
- **Specific:** Define clear and detailed goals.
- **Measurable:** Ensure objectives are quantifiable.
- **Achievable:** Set realistic targets within your capabilities.
- **Relevant:** Align objectives with your overall project goals.
- **Time-bound:** Set deadlines for each objective.
For example, "Achieve 95% accuracy in speed detection within six months using a 10,000 vehicle image dataset." This approach helps track progress and identifies areas for improvement. Read more about [setting measurable objectives](#setting-measurable-objectives).
### How do deployment options affect the performance of my Ultralytics YOLO models?
Deployment options critically impact the performance of your Ultralytics YOLO models. Here are key options:
- **Edge Devices:** Use lightweight models like TensorFlow Lite or ONNX Runtime for deployment on devices with limited resources.
- **Cloud Servers:** Utilize robust cloud platforms like AWS, Google Cloud, or Azure for handling complex models.
- **On-Premise Servers:** High data privacy and security needs may require on-premise deployments.
- **Hybrid Solutions:** Combine edge and cloud approaches for balanced performance and cost-efficiency.
For more information, refer to our [detailed guide on model deployment options](./model-deployment-options.md).
