Fast and accurate data annotation is crucial for the success of any AI project. For the last five years, Intel has developed one of the world’s most popular open-source annotation tools, the Computer Vision Annotation Tool (CVAT), and hosted the tool on CVAT.org. Intel engineers have worked diligently to bring many features to the tool […]

Introduction to the COCO Dataset
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 […]
