For Crop & Animal Recognition

Improves crop growth prediction and motion detection, even with complex shapes or low-contrast images.

YAZAKI Image Annotation

SCENE

Challenges in Annotation for Crop & Animal Recognition

Yazaki’s image annotation service leverages its expertise to address these challenges and deliver high-quality data.

 

 Fine details such as stems and branches require highly precise labeling.
 Crops often share similar colors with their background, making accurate annotation difficult.
 Detecting moving objects such as animals and insects is challenging because they often blend into their surroundings.

 

By outsourcing your annotation work, you can focus on the tasks you should be prioritizing, such as AI model development and validation.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How much work can I request under the free trial?

The free trial is primarily intended to gather the information needed to provide an accurate quotation. By working with a portion of your actual data, we can assess the level of difficulty and quality requirements, enabling a more accurate estimate and helping prevent mismatches after the project begins.

How long does it take to receive a quotation?

After the hearing is completed, we will submit your quotation within as little as two business days. We are equipped to support rapid decision-making even for urgent projects, so please feel free to contact us.

I'm unsure about defining the project requirements. Do I need to prepare any materials in advance?

No advance preparation is required. We provide a dedicated hearing sheet, and our specialists will organize your requirements through discussion. Even if you're not yet sure what instructions to give, we will help define the optimal specifications together.
