Paint-to-add-object Task
This project focused on training generative AI models to realistically insert objects into visual scenes. The core task involved manually drawing precise masks (black overlays) on images to indicate where an imaginary object should be added. Annotators were required to fully cover the object and all related visual elements, including shadows, reflections, occlusions, and indirect lighting, ensuring there were no gaps, cracks, or missing areas in the mask. The annotation process used tools such as Brush (150px default), Lasso, and Pen, allowing for detailed and flexible masking. Each annotation was followed by a descriptive explanation of the object being "added"—including its appearance, size, placement, and interaction with the scene (e.g., lighting, perspective, surface contact). The project scaled across thousands of images featuring diverse environments (indoor, outdoor, day/night scenes). High-quality standards were maintained through reviewer feedback loops, cross-validation ch
