Computer Vision: Enabling Machines to See and Understand the World

Computer vision is a field of artificial intelligence that focuses on enabling machines to see and understand visual information, much like humans do. It involves the development of algorithms and techniques to extract meaningful insights and interpretations from digital images or video data. At its core, computer vision aims to replicate human vision capabilities by allowing machines to perceive and comprehend their visual surroundings. This technology has the potential to revolutionize various industries and applications, from autonomous vehicles and medical imaging to surveillance systems and augmented reality. The foundation of computer vision lies in the extraction of features and patterns from visual data. By analyzing pixels and their relationships, algorithms can identify edges, colors, shapes, textures, and other visual attributes. This process is often referred to as image preprocessing, where raw data is transformed into a more structured representation suitable for further analysis. Once the initial processing is complete, computer vision algorithms can perform a range of tasks, including object detection, image classification, segmentation, tracking, and even scene understanding. These capabilities allow machines to identify and categorize objects, recognize faces, interpret gestures, estimate depth, and extract valuable information from visual inputs. Deep learning, a subset of machine learning, has significantly advanced computer vision in recent years. Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have emerged as powerful models for image recognition and analysis. By leveraging large amounts of labeled training data, CNNs can learn intricate visual representations and achieve impressive accuracy in various computer vision tasks. The practical applications of computer vision are vast. In the automotive industry, it enables self-driving cars to detect and recognize objects on the road, ensuring safe navigation. In healthcare, computer vision assists in medical image analysis, aiding in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. In retail, it powers facial recognition systems for personalized customer experiences and inventory management. As computer vision continues to evolve, researchers and engineers are exploring new frontiers, such as 3D reconstruction, video understanding, and real-time object tracking. The potential for computer vision to transform industries and enhance our daily lives is immense.

Delivering accurate and consistent image annotation services

At Infoscribe, we understand that annotating images requires a great deal of time and utmost precision. Our primary goal is to ensure the highest level of quality to achieve 100% customer satisfaction.

To achieve this goal, we have implemented a rigorous training program for our annotators. Before being assigned to a project, each annotator is trained on best practices and is given test data to ensure a thorough understanding of the project and all possible scenarios. This allows us to deliver accurate and consistent results to our clients.

Ensuring strict quality control: our process at infoscribe

At Infoscribe, we prioritize quality control to ensure accurate and consistent results for our clients. Here's how we do it:

1
Quality control
Before launching a project, we conduct a 100% quality control to analyze and address any frequent errors caused by misinterpretations or misunderstandings of instructions.
2
QC Reports
Our QC team creates a report for each quality control performed, listing and illustrating non-conformities detected with screenshots.
3
Corrections
Project managers use these QC reports to explain errors to annotators so they can make corrections.
4
Improvement
We also use whiteboards to communicate common errors and encourage continuous improvement of our quality.
5
Sampling inspection
Once the compliance rate is high and stable after a few weeks, we perform sampling inspection based on the ISO2859 standard (2000 version).

Project management



Our project managers, who are in direct contact with our customers, comply with a detailed checklist designed to prevent mistakes and they report on a daily or weekly basis depending on the needs our customers expressed at the beginning of a project.
