With applications such as object detection, segmentation, and captioning, the COCO dataset is widely understood by state-of-the-art neural networks. Its versatility and multi-purpose scene variation serve best to train a computer vision model and benchmark its performance. In this post, we will dive deeper into COCO fundamentals, covering the following: What is COCO? COCO classes What is […]
7 Key Considerations to Develop a Scalable Annotation Pipeline
Whether for medical imaging, autonomous driving, agriculture automation, or robotics, scaling a computer vision (CV) project is tough and takes tons of micromanaging, tracking, and analysis for the best results. The data is usually annotated in batches because of the volume and multiplicity of iterations needed along the way. The batches undergo several revisions for […]

OpenCV AI Competition 2021 Highlights and Team Profiles Part 3
Our guest for last week’s edition of OpenCV Weekly Webinar was Gerard Espona of Team Kauda (featured in our first post). You can find that episode on YouTube, along with the rest of the episodes past and future. This week we had a tutorial on how to create your own panoramas with OpenCV. Sign up to attend the […]
Interview with Simon Kozlov in the new episode of OpenCV AI for Entrepreneurs podcast
In this week’s episode of the AI for Entrepreneurs, Anna Petrovicheva, CTO of OpenCV.AI, is talking to Simon Kozlov. Simon was the first machine learning engineer at Instrumental.ai, an artificial Intelligence California-based company that is helping consumer electronics companies find and fix problems better in their manufacturing lines. Before that he used to work in […]
5 Emerging Trends in Computer Vision Applications from OpenCV’s AI Competition
As part of Roboflow‘s new partnership with OpenCV, I had the opportunity to be involved with the first round of the 2021 OpenCV AI Competition. If you haven’t heard of the computer vision competition, it’s the world’s biggest spatial AI competition, in which over 1,200 teams are competing for over $400,000 in prizes. The first […]
Introducing OAK: Spatial AI Powered by OpenCV
Update: OAK is now available on Kickstarter! AI technology is a new frontier, with limitless potential for the improvement of human lives. The OpenCV Artificial Intelligence Kit (OAK) project began life as part of CommuteGuardian, a technological solution to the causes of many bicycle – automobile accidents, by alerting distracted drivers and warning cyclists just […]
