Your computer vision challenges, addressed

Lots of companies head straight into CV development, but the appeal of AI projects wears off within a short while when budgets get exhausted and metrics are not met. The good news? We can help you cut through the complexity.

Developing complex algorithms with fewer resources

Challenge:

The development of custom algorithms for object identification and analysis in videos and photos is associated with significant financial and time resources, making AI vision adoption challenging for specific business scenarios.

Solution:

Our developers leverage artificial intelligence cloud platforms like Azure AI or AWS AI services that offer tools to speed up the testing and implementation processes for computer vision technologies, saving you costs and some trouble during development.

Unstable conditions for data gathering

Challenge:

Changes in lighting and temperature can distort the appearance of objects and create undesirable visual effects, affecting the quality of data for AI vision analysis and complicating the object recognition task for the system.

Solution:

Our computer vision engineers implement automated data labeling and anomaly correction tools to improve the data preparation process, reducing errors in manual labeling and efficiently correcting data irregularities.

Data preprocessing and labeling

Challenge:

Gleaning, organizing, and accurately labeling large and diverse datasets to train a high-quality model is a difficult task to master on your own.

Solution:

We introduce automated data labeling tools and establish internal processes, including clear labeling guidelines, quality control measures, and regular training for labeling teams to ensure data accuracy and consistency.

Make use of computer vision tasks to craft a tailored solution

Drawing on our deep learning expertise, we help you select the right combination of tasks for your computer vision project in alignment with the throughput you expect from the solution.

Image classification

As one of the backbone image processing techniques, image classification forms the basis for other computer vision tasks. It enables the accurate classification of a given image into one or several groups, powering a raft of applications from medical imaging to automated tagging in retail.

Object detection

Building on image classification, object detection aims to determine the boundaries of certain objects in digital images and video streams. We choose object detection for applications like defect identification, predictive maintenance, face recognition, and more.

Object tracking

Object tracking involves the continuous tracking of objects in successive frames of a video or image sequence. Multiple object tracking can help when detection fails, particularly in applications like collision avoidance, traffic monitoring, and store surveillance.

Content-based image retrieval

This task is essential for applications that deal with image search in large databases. By replacing manual image tagging with automatic image annotation, content-based image retrieval facilitates digital asset management and other applications contingent upon the accuracy of search and retrieval.
