Recognizing, extracting, differentiating, and comprehending data from digital mediums like pictures or videos can be characterized as an image annotation. This is one of the main building blocks in developing computer vision for image recognition in AI/ML applications.
The use cases for computer vision vary from autonomous vehicles and medical imaging to security. As a consequence, image annotation is ever critical in building logical AI/ML models across multiple fields and sectors.
Use Cases of Image Annotation
By utilizing photo and video data, AI/ML models can be taught to interpret and interact with the world just like a woman would. Data annotation for Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning is ever more crucial at this development stage. An AI/ML model’s accuracy is dependent on the quality of annotations fed into the application. Poorly annotated data will almost guarantee a flawed application and vice versa.
Below are some use cases where image annotation is employed;
Autonomous Vehicles
An effective AI/ML application should correctly identify road signs, traffic lights, pavements, bike lanes, etc. Below are some of the data annotation techniques employed when building autonomous vehicle applications;
- LIDAR Sensing Technology
- Object and Dimension Detection
- Navigation with Steering Response
- Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS)
Agriculture
Agriculture has not been left out in this great AI revolution. Players in this sector can use AI/ML technologies to aid crop monitoring, reducing human participation. Agricultural AI can aid the sector in the following ways;
- Livestock management
- Crop and plant health monitoring
- Detection of pests and diseases
Security and Surveillance
The ever-increasing number of security cameras has been a critical factor in the evolution of AI/ML as a security feature. Image annotation is a necessary component for building futuristic models for crowd detection, reading face IDs for theft detection, and pedestrian tracking to name a few.
