No matter how much processing power you have at your fingertips, any computer vision model you build is only as good as the data used to train it. And the beating heart of all that data is the way you define your data.

No one knows your research objectives better than yourself. And so, it’s important for any computer vision projects you undertake, no matter how small or large they eventually become, that you create the rubric for segmenting the data. In our latest blog we outline how to create a robust 3D rubric for your next project.

Here are best practice guidelines for choosing the right tools and the right approach for developing a robust 3D quality rubric.

Many online shopping experiences end in disappointment. In 2020, $102 billion worth of products purchased online were returned to retailers — about 18% of all online sales. It’s a problem which has dogged online retailing: how can shoppers visualize themselves in clothes, shoes, or cosmetics they’ve never tried on?

A solution is at hand in the form of Augmented Reality (AR), which enables shoppers to bring store experiences home in the form of virtual dressing rooms. Research suggests that AR-enhanced try-on experiences lead to a 94% higher rate of converting browsers to buyers.

Good annotation and testing practices are the foundations of building a great model. However, understanding what constitutes quality data is a tricky question.

While “as accurate as possible” seems the obvious answer, this thinking can bog down any team in an endless cycle of manual annotation, training, more annotation, and retraining. In our latest blog post we’ll go over what “quality” might mean for your autonomous vehicles use case and how to start measuring it. https://bit.ly/3xTZk56

Learn how to define, measure, and guarantee high-quality data labeling for your autonomous driving use case— all while balancing efficiency and accuracy.

Did you know that around 43% of US households report owning at least one smart home device, up 30% from 2019. Consumers have more options than ever to interact with appliances from every room in their house, from their laundry rooms and kitchens to their entertainment centers.

Let’s take a walk through a modern smart home to see some of the latest smart appliance trends — and the data labeling challenges that come with them. ➡️https://bit.ly/3b6D804

Smart homes and appliances empower homeowners to remotely control and program appliances. They wouldn't be so "smart" without high-quality labeled data.

Customers walk around stores, browse displays, walk down aisles, and stop to consider products. From the outside, it may not appear there is much to glean from these behaviors. But with these everyday interactions, customers are telling a lot about their interests and how well they are being served. For retailers, the challenge is capturing the data that will help them understand what customers are telling them.
