3 Hidden Costs of Data Annotation
In our latest webinar, Identifying the Hidden Costs of Data Annotation, Megan McNeil and Ryan Tavakolfar explore the key factors that can impact the efficiency and quality of data annotation and how they interplay with each other.
How to Select Image Annotation Tools & Techniques
Selecting the proper image annotation technique is critical to machine learning (ML) performance because the accuracy and efficiency of computer vision applications depend heavily on the quality and consistency of the annotations.
Segment Anything : Is SAM all you need?
Recently, Meta AI’s release of the Segment Anything Model (SAM) has sparked a lot of interest and excitement in the Computer Vision (CV) community. SAM is an image segmentation model that can provide segmentation masks for a variety of input prompts,
Best 5 AI Applications Shaping the Future of Retail
Retailers are using AI-powered tools and applications to personalize product recommendations, manage inventory levels, provide customer service, enable virtual shopping experiences, and detect fraudulent activities.
Top 3 Examples of How Poor Data Quality Impacts ML
If a machine learning model is trained on inaccurate or missing data, it may falsely classify images or make incorrect recommendations. Missing data can negatively impact machine learning models by reducing accuracy or introducing bias.
How to Optimize Data Quality for Better ML Model Performance
One of the main reasons for this is the lack of reliable scaling of data annotation volumes and quality, which is often fueled by human error, unclear assumptions, ambiguity of images, and the subjective nature of the annotation task.
What is object tracking and how is it used?
There are two primary kinds of object tracking that serve different kinds of applications. First, image tracking is the process of isolating objects in an image and tracking them. For instance, real estate agents might use this in interior design software.
Computer Vision : History & How it Works
Computer vision helps increase automation and improves the ability to analyze and interpret visual data at a scale. It has several stages, including image acquisition, and processing, feature extraction, and pattern recognition.
The State of Data Annotation in Computer Vision
The challenges of data annotation are far-reaching for companies in retail, media, consumer goods, transportation and e-commerce, and many others. To overcome the challenges, these companies need to train their AI algorithms to
