Data Annotation and Model Evaluation Challenge

Spot AI encountered significant challenges in two critical areas: model evaluation and performance improvement for their object detection systems.

The company needed to determine how well their models performed in detecting people and vehicles across diverse real-world scenarios. This required extensive annotation of complex visual data including people in various poses, clothing combinations, and environmental conditions.

Their annotation requirements included detailed labeling of people with specific attributes like shirt colors, pant colors, and facial visibility, along with comprehensive vehicle classification covering types, makes, colors, and license plate information.

The complexity of these annotation tasks, combined with their lean team structure, made it challenging to handle internally while maintaining focus on core AI development.
