YAZAKI Image Annotation

SCENE

Challenges in Annotation for Foreign Object Detection & Food Sorting

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

 

 Distinguishing foreign objects from food products is essential for food safety, but accurate recognition from images is challenging.
 Objects with similar colors or textures often overlap, making accurate sorting difficult.
 Images captured with fisheye inspection cameras are often distorted, making it difficult to accurately identify object locations.

 

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.
