HighPrecision Image Annotation for Computer Vision Model

Data Annotation TechImageSegmentationBounding Box
This project involved labeling a large dataset of street-level images to train a computer vision model for autonomous vehicle navigation. My tasks included precise object detection and segmentation of pedestrians, vehicles, traffic signs, and lane markings using bounding boxes and polygon annotations. The dataset consisted of over 100,000 images, requiring meticulous annotation and validation to ensure accuracy. I followed strict quality control measures, including inter-annotator agreement checks and model-assisted pre-labeling refinements, to enhance dataset consistency and usability.
