What Is a Video Annotation?

Video annotation is the process of labeling or tagging elements in a video to create video training data for AI and ML models, specifically for computer vision. The process involves identifying and marking objects, actions, or other features in each frame of a video with the help of software and expert annotators.

The labeled data is used to train AI and machine learning models to make them recognize these objects in new, unlabeled AI training datasets.

Why Companies Need Video Annotation Services?

Video annotation plays a crucial role in converting raw data into structured, understandable data for AI models. AI systems will not learn to recognize, classify, or label objects and events in real-world scenarios without accurately annotated data. This is why video labeling for machine learning is crucial.

Availing video data annotation services helps companies deal with the massive amount of data to train their AI models. For example, a 60-second video with a frame rate of 60 fps means 3600 images need to be annotated. This is a time-consuming and resource-intensive task and is a major reason companies avail our services for advanced video annotation.

Our team of 1000+ trained experts and the ‘human-in-the-loop’ approach help us deliver accurately annotated data for training AI datasets.

Types of Video Annotation Services and Techniques

Our AI video annotation services cover all aspects to provide accurately annotated data for training AI and computer vision models. Further, our experts have the knowledge and experience in using different video annotation techniques to provide accurate results. The following are the techniques we use:

Traffic scene with cars, bus, and cyclists labeled for video annotation services in AI.

Bounding Boxes

We use rectangular boxes to label and tag objects within each video frame. The technique is commonly used for object detection and localization in video annotation tasks.

Polygon Annotation

The technique is used to precisely outline the shape of an object by placing vertices along its border. It helps capture objects with irregular shapes more accurately than a bounding box.

Street scene with cars, trees, and buildings segmented by colors for video annotation services.<br />

Semantic Segmentation

This is a pixel-level annotation technique where each pixel in a video frame is assigned a class label (road, building, sky, person, etc.). It helps get a complete understanding of the scene.

Pose estimation of walking people with skeletal keypoint mapping for video annotation services.

Landmark or Keypoint Annotation

Keypoint or landmark annotation is used to mark specific points of interest on an object to capture its shape, pose, or orientation. It is often used to track the articulation of human bodies or faces and is also used for image annotation.

3D Cuboid Annotation

The technique involves drawing cuboids around objects in three-dimensional space. It helps capture an object’s width, length, and depth.

Cars and pedestrians outlined with green bounding polygons on a city street for video annotation services.

Polyline Annotation

This technique is used to label linear structures in videos, like roads, lanes, and boundaries. Also, it plays a major role in training autonomous driving systems for accurate lane identification and navigation.

Digital visualization of data classification showing categories like animals, objects, and concepts for AI training and annotation services.

Classification and Categorization

This technique is about classifying and categorizing specific movements, actions, or entire video segments based on predefined criteria. Our experts follow clear annotation guidelines to ensure the classification and categorization are perfect.

Video Transcription and Event Logging

Video transcription and event logging are about transcribing spoken words and sounds or logging specific events in video or actions with precise start-and-end timestamps. Also, it helps add a layer of contextual information to visual data.
