One of the deep learning tasks is object detection. Well-annotated datasets will affect deep neural network accuracy. More data learned by deep neural networks will make the model more accurate. However, a well-annotated dataset is hard to find, especially in a specific domain. To overcome this, computer-generated data or virtual datasets are used. Researchers could generate many images with specific use cases also with its annotation. Research studies showed that virtual datasets could be used for object detection tasks. Nevertheless, with the usage of the virtual dataset, the model must adapt to real datasets, or the model must have domain adaptability features. We explored the domain adaptation inside the object detection model using a virtual dataset to overcome a few well-annotated datasets. We use VW-PPE dataset, using 5000 and 10000 virtual data and 220 real data. For model architecture, we used YOLOv4 using CSPDarknet53 as the backbone and PAN as the neck. The domain adaptation technique with fine-tuning only on backbone weight achieved a mean average precision of 74.457%. ## Recorded benchmark results A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage. ## Original sources and implementation [Original paper]() [PDF]()
