Annotating Product Defects for Canadian Automation Machinery Manufacturing
Canada
Involving the annotation of
200,000 images
Model of cooperation:
Managed annotation services
Cooperation Start
The client of Mobilunity-BPO is a leading automation machinery manufacturing company based in Canada. Company faced a crucial challenge in accurately annotating product defects within a substantial dataset. Seeking a solution involving bounding box annotation, they opted for the Computer Vision Annotation Tool (CVAT) and required a managed service to ensure the precision and efficiency of the annotation process. The primary project challenge revolved around the client’s expectation of weekly updates on 50,000 annotated images every Friday, necessitating a delicate balance between meeting deadlines and maintaining high-quality standards.
Client’s Problem
A prominent automation machinery manufacturing company in Canada needed accurate annotation of product defects for a substantial dataset. They were in search of a solution involving bounding box annotation and chose the Computer Vision Annotation Tool (CVAT) for the job. The client sought a managed service to guarantee the precision and efficiency of the annotation process.
Project Challenge
The main challenge involved ensuring annotators adhered strictly to the schedule, with the client expecting weekly updates on 50,000 annotated images every Friday. Meeting this deadline while upholding quality standards was crucial.
Strategic Precision:
Key Solutions for Efficient and Customized Annotation in a CVAT Project
