Boost Annotation Speed 5x With Model Accelerated Annotation

When building computer vision applications, the quality of your data is everything. The success of your models relies heavily on data annotation - the process of labeling images so a model can learn to recognize objects, actions, or scenarios in new data. However, with the increasing demand for high-quality datasets in computer vision, traditional data annotation methods can be incredibly time-consuming and resource-intensive. Recognizing this challenge, I decided to test model accelerated annotation with semi-supervised learning to demonstrate how much faster and more efficient it is compared to manual annotation.

So, what exactly is model accelerated annotation? It is a technique that assists with the annotation process by leveraging advanced machine learning methods. For this test, I implemented model accelerated annotation in conjunction with semi-supervised learning. I first trained the initial model on a small labeled dataset. Then, once it was trained, it began generating predictions or annotations for the remaining unlabeled data and sent them to the user for guidance.

Essentially, with model accelerated annotation the user’s task shifts from manually generating annotations to simply validating suggestions from the model - saving time and effort.?

What Is Computer Vision?

In simple terms, computer vision enables machines to see and interpret visual data from the world around them. From facial recognition systems to autonomous vehicles, computer vision powers applications that rely on analyzing images or video to extract meaningful information. These systems need to be trained on large amounts of labeled data, which is where data annotation comes into play...
