+## Baseline Detection
+
+Small object detection in high-resolution images presents challenges due to the objects'
+size relative to the image resolution.
+
+=== "Inference"
+
+    ```python
+    import cv2
+    import supervision as sv
+    from inference import get_model
+
+    model = get_model(model_id="yolov8x-640")
+    image = cv2.imread(<PATH TO IMAGE>)
+    results = model.infer(image)[0]
+    detections = sv.Detections.from_inference(results)
+
+    bounding_box_annotator = sv.BoundingBoxAnnotator()
+    label_annotator = sv.LabelAnnotator()
+
+    annotated_image = bounding_box_annotator.annotate(
+        scene=image, detections=detections)
+    annotated_image = label_annotator.annotate(
+        scene=annotated_image, detections=detections)
+    ```
+
+=== "Ultralytics"
+
+    ```python
+    import cv2
+    import supervision as sv
+    from ultralytics import YOLO
+
+    model = YOLO("yolov8x.pt")
+    image = cv2.imread(<PATH TO IMAGE>)
+    results = model(image)[0]
+    detections = sv.Detections.from_ultralytics(results)
+
+    bounding_box_annotator = sv.BoundingBoxAnnotator()
+    label_annotator = sv.LabelAnnotator()
+
+    annotated_image = bounding_box_annotator.annotate(
+        scene=image, detections=detections)
+    annotated_image = label_annotator.annotate(
+        scene=annotated_image, detections=detections)
+    ```
+
+=== "Transformers"
+
+    ```python
+    import torch
+    import supervision as sv
+    from PIL import Image
+    from transformers import DetrImageProcessor, DetrForObjectDetection
+
+    processor = DetrImageProcessor.from_pretrained("facebook/detr-resnet-50")
+    model = DetrForObjectDetection.from_pretrained("facebook/detr-resnet-50")
+
+    image = Image.open(<PATH TO IMAGE>)
+    inputs = processor(images=image, return_tensors="pt")
+
+    with torch.no_grad():
+        outputs = model(**inputs)
+
+    width, height = image.size
+    target_size = torch.tensor([[height, width]])
+    results = processor.post_process_object_detection(
+        outputs=outputs, target_sizes=target_size)[0]
+    detections = sv.Detections.from_transformers(results)
+
+    bounding_box_annotator = sv.BoundingBoxAnnotator()
+    label_annotator = sv.LabelAnnotator()
+
+    labels = [
+        model.config.id2label[class_id]
+        for class_id
+        in detections.class_id
+    ]
+
+    annotated_image = bounding_box_annotator.annotate(
+        scene=image, detections=detections)
+    annotated_image = label_annotator.annotate(
+        scene=annotated_image, detections=detections, labels=labels)
+    ```

+
+## Input Resolution
+
+Modifying the input resolution of images before detection can enhance small object 
+identification at the cost of processing speed and increased memory usage. This method 
+is less effective for ultra-high-resolution images (4K and above).
+
+=== "Inference"
+
+    ```{ .py hl_lines="5" }
+    import cv2
+    import supervision as sv
+    from inference import get_model
+
+    model = get_model(model_id="yolov8x-1280")
+    image = cv2.imread(<PATH TO IMAGE>)
+    results = model.infer(image)[0]
+    detections = sv.Detections.from_inference(results)
+
+    bounding_box_annotator = sv.BoundingBoxAnnotator()
+    label_annotator = sv.LabelAnnotator()
+
+    annotated_image = bounding_box_annotator.annotate(
+        scene=image, detections=detections)
+    annotated_image = label_annotator.annotate(
+        scene=annotated_image, detections=detections)
+    ```
+
+=== "Ultralytics"
+
+    ```{ .py hl_lines="7" }
+    import cv2
+    import supervision as sv
+    from ultralytics import YOLO
+
+    model = YOLO("yolov8x.pt")
+    image = cv2.imread(<PATH TO IMAGE>)
+    results = model(image, imgsz=1280)[0]
+    detections = sv.Detections.from_ultralytics(results)
+
+    bounding_box_annotator = sv.BoundingBoxAnnotator()
+    label_annotator = sv.LabelAnnotator()
+
+    annotated_image = bounding_box_annotator.annotate(
+        scene=image, detections=detections)
+    annotated_image = label_annotator.annotate(
+        scene=annotated_image, detections=detections)
+    ```
+
+![detection-with-high-input-resolution](https://media.roboflow.com/supervision_detect_small_objects_example_2.png)
+
+## Inference Slicer
+
+[`InferenceSlicer`](detection/tools/inference_slicer/#supervision.detection.tools.inference_slicer.InferenceSlicer) 
+processes high-resolution images by dividing them into smaller segments, detecting 
+objects within each, and aggregating the results.
+
