Video Annotation Services

Importance of Video Annotation for Computer Vision

Video annotation means shaping outlines and adding comments or elements on videos split into frames (images). This process is possible because of the combination of human labeling and video annotation software. People create gigabytes of training datasets for computer vision. So only with high-quality video annotation Machine Learning algorithms can adequately identify similar objects on new videos.

 

But finding experienced video annotators with industry-relevant skills is challenging. Some companies don’t give you enough control over your team, while others offer high rates for workers located in totally different time zones. However, our outsourcing model helps you find the solution for your budget and requirements. We’ll build your managed video labeling team within several weeks.

 

Video Annotation Services We Can Help You with

Only with top-notch video annotation deep learning models can learn from the best. And that’s how video labeling practitioners we hire can process your datasets: 

2D boxes

2D bounding boxes

The teams we build ensure accurate marking of the bounding boxes' edges. They also minimize variations of box sizes and overlaps in your training data. This is critical to keep your model effective. And if overlapping is unavoidable, the professionals we hire will use more accurate techniques.

3d bounding boxes

3D boxes

With advanced video streaming tools, your labelers will create frames with original resolution. And AI algorithms will help to accurately mark the dimensions of volumetric objects and estimate their hidden parts. This way, our specialists work quickly, spending around half a second per frame.

polygon annotation

Polygons annotation

Polygonal tagging is much more accurate compared to 2D and 3D bounding boxes. So if you need to eliminate the "noise" in your videos, your team will use polygons to mark objects’ boundaries. This type of labeling requires skills and experience, which the professionals we hire have.

landmark annotation

Landmarks & keypoints annotation tagging

This labeling method is also called dot annotation. That's because data labelers use dots to mark small objects or locate points on objects. This technique helps streamline face recognition and pose detection software. Annotators place dots across faces to show emotional expressions or place points along bodies and connect them like a skeleton.

lines and splines annotation

Lines and splines annotation

Tagging lines and floor markings on video datasets will teach machines at stocks to move items safely. Broken lanes, sidewalks, roadside edges, travel lanes, and other straight and curved lines will help self-driving AI understand road surface marking.

video data classification

Video data classification and categorization

The classification of video content is split into the classification of image stacks. Professionals apply and extrapolate hundreds of tags, collaborating in real-time with other team members to perform tasks. This service helps deep learning models track activity, recognize human gestures, and detect motion on video streams.
