SCENE

Challenges in Satellite Image Annotation

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

 

 Low image resolution requires frequent zooming, making annotation time-consuming.
 Working while zooming and scrolling increases the risk of overlooking target objects.
 Comparing multiple images to make judgments is labor-intensive.

 

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

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.
