Perhaps people are wondering how your UNet is going to see the bristles on the other side of the dandelion seed.

Think you are misunderstanding what they are counting. The bristles of the seed sit on a stalk and are quite visible individually for the most part, because they are quite thin and stick out in different directions. If you were to place it so that the stalk points toward you, like in the Nature video, the bristles would stand out really clearly.

And how do you deduplicate the ones that are visible on multiple angles?

Now you have a pretty ugly correspondence problem to solve.
