YAZAKI Image Annotation

SCENE

Challenges in Annotation for Manufacturing & Factory Images

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

 

 Annotating low-quality or unclear images is highly challenging.
 Large volumes of images containing unexpected defects make annotation decisions difficult.
 Preprocessing tasks, such as sorting defective images, require significant effort.

 

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

Also Available for These Use Cases

Visual inspection

Visual inspection

  • Creating training data for image recognition AI to detect defective products
  • Accurately distinguishes between burn marks and shadows that appear to be the same black color on the image

Wire deflection/twist

Wire deflection/twist

  • Extract wire deflection and twist from images of defective products
  • Although it can be difficult to define requirements quantitatively, we prepare mutliple images of both defective and non-defective products to align our workers' understanding with your desired output.

Picking Robots

Picking Robots

  • Annotation for Picking Robots in Food-Related Automatic Lines
  • Classification is performed by judging the hardness of each package (can the robot grasp it?)

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.
