Sama’s video annotation projects start with tailored consultations, assessing tagging needs via knowledgeable solutions engineers. After evaluating alternatives, projects launch on Sama’s cutting-edge video annotation platform.
For our video annotation services, we employ an integrated calibration process to maximize efficiency and value. In the initial session, we establish clear instructions, address edge cases, and align on key metrics. Subsequent collaborative meetings with a project manager, solutions engineer, and QA agent, whether weekly or monthly, ensure quality scaling as you utilize our services.
Each project is assigned to a dedicated team at Sama, consisting of internal experts with deep industry knowledge – avoiding consultants, contractors, or crowdsourcing. These teams undergo project-specific training, ensuring their effectiveness from the outset. This methodology extends to our video annotation services, where specialized training empowers our teams to excel in handling video training data right from the start.
Sama continually enhances its video annotation solutions through iterative feedback, with a focus on shaping and refining annotations using a video annotation tool. We utilize level feedback, percentage of data set review, and automated scoring, bolstered by real-time analytics that offer immediate actionable insights. Should data accuracy not meet client expectations, we provide complimentary rework services for the project.
Sama’s video annotation services offer flexible and customizable delivery formats for key metric reports and evaluations within its image annotation service. This is complemented by robust quality control measures to reduce inaccuracies swiftly, ensuring the rapid deployment of ML models.

Image annotation refers to the process of assigning labels to images which can be used to train ML models for a variety of different applications. It plays a pivotal role in tasks including image segmentation, image classification, and object detection. The complexity of image annotation services ranges from labeling individual pixels in an image to assigning a single label to the entire image. When an image is annotated with high precision, accurate data sets are generated that significantly boost the performance of machine learning algorithms.
Image annotation offers a huge potential for businesses to enhance their operational efficiency, lowering costs with highly accurate training image data for their ML models. It aligns with computer vision and elevates customer experience with smarter decision-making.
An image annotation tool is a software application that helps to label or annotate images. These tools assist in object detection, image classification, and semantic segmentation to generate labeled datasets for machine learning algorithms to identify patterns and objects in images.
Image annotation refers to adding metadata or description information to an image, which includes identifying certain objects in the image and linking them to appropriate labels. Annotations give context to images.Image labeling is a broader concept that involves assigning labels to entire images, or individual objects within them.
Image annotation has many applications in a variety of industries, like AVs, AgTech, manufacturing and robotics, and retail. Image annotation solutions help identify images down to specific pixels, orient an image within a specific context, detect objects, and many other image labeling techniques.
An image annotation vendor brings extensive technical expertise to image labeling, as well as specific industry knowledge. By partnering with an annotation service, companies quickly and cost-effectively launch extremely accurate models. An image labeling annotation service provides quality atscale, at a lower total cost of ownership. A collaborative partnership with an image annotation vendor offers companies a secure environment in which to perfect their models before launch.
