If the computer vision model can't detect edges around a human-shaped object, that's usually a dataset issue or a sensor (data collection) issue... And it sure as hell isn't a sensor issue because humans do the task just fine.

Do they? People driving at night quite often have a hard time seeing pedestrians wearing dark colors.
