Image Annotation Specialist

Scale AIImagePolygon
As an Image Annotation Specialist, I labelled thousands of images for computer vision models using polygon, bounding box, and segmentation techniques. I applied these tasks to datasets involving real-world objects, scenes, and facial recognition. I improved dataset quality through error detection and correction processes. • Utilized object detection and image classification on varied datasets • Applied semantic segmentation and polygon annotation methods • Ensured high-quality standards with rigorous error correction • Supported facial recognition and real-world scene analysis
