Annotation techniques

Aerial view of complex highway intersection with traffic and parked cars

Bounding Boxes

In Computer Vision, drawing a Bounding Box consists in precisely delineating the objects of interest in an image using rectangles, in order to allow a model (e.g. YOLO) to learn to detect or recognize them automatically.

⚙️ Process steps:

Definition of the annotation plane and the classes of objects to be located

Manual or semi-automated annotation by bounding boxes (images, videos, satellite views, etc.)

Cross validation and quality control (consistency of labels, overlaps, coverage rate...)

Export annotations to standard formats (COCO, YOLO, Pascal VOC...)

🧪 Practical applications:

Industrial inspection — Detection of defects on parts in production

Autonomous driving — Tracking vehicles, pedestrians, traffic signs

Satellite imagery — Location of buildings, agricultural or forest areas

Polygons

Annotation with polygons is used to precisely delineate the complex contours of objects in an image (irregular shapes, nested objects, etc.), essential for models of instance segmentation or semantic segmentation.

⚙️ Process steps:

Definition of categories and segmentation criteria

Manually annotate objects by drawing polygons point by point

Quality control and cross-checking of contours and classes

Export in adapted formats (COCO, Mask R-CNN, PNG masks...)

🧪 Practical applications:

Industrial inspection — Precise detection of faulty areas

Autonomous driving — Segmentation of roads, sidewalks, vehicles

Satellite imagery — Delimitation of crops, buildings or natural areas

Object Tracking

Object Tracking consists in following one or more objects of interest in a video sequence frame by frame, in order to model their trajectory in time.

⚙️ Process steps:

Selection of objects to track (car, person, animal, product, etc.)

Manual or semi-automatic annotation of the position frame by frame (bounding box, polygon,...)

Consistent association of a unique identifier for each monitored object

Adjustment and interpolation of missing frames if necessary

🧪 Practical applications:

Autonomous driving — Pedestrian and vehicle tracking in an urban environment

Retail — Analysis of the customer journey in stores to study buying behaviors

Sport — Player tracking for modeling performances or creating statistics in real time

Runner moves through rainy, dimly lit street at night

Temporal classification

Assign global or contextual labels to continuous sequences of a video, by segmenting them according to coherent periods (e.g., calm/activity/alert).

⚙️ Process steps:

Definition of the temporal categories to be annotated (states, situations, activity levels, etc.)

Annotating time ranges with a single label per segment

Review and check the consistency between the transitions

Export annotated segments with start/end + associated class (formats: JSON, CSV, XML...)

🧪 Practical applications:

Behavioral studies — Identifying the phases: sustained attention/distraction/fatigue

Circulation — Sequence classification: fluid/dense/blocked

Monitoring — Segmentation of periods: active/inactive/system error

People walking with motion tracking points in modern urban plaza

Pose Estimation

Annotate body positions (keypoints) frame by frame in a video sequence, in order to model the movements of one or more individuals over time.

⚙️ Process steps:

Definition of the keypoint skeleton (e.g.: 17 points — head, shoulders, elbows, knees...)

Annotation of key points on each frame or by keyframes with interpolation

Manual review and correction in case of occlusion or ambiguity

Export in specialized formats (COCO keypoints, structured JSON, CSV per frame)

🧪 Practical applications:

Sport — Study of the technical gesture (throwing, jumping, typing...) in video training

Oversight — Detection of suspicious attitudes or motor anomalies

Health/Rehabilitation — Analysis of posture and joint amplitudes

Sequential frames of a vehicle driving on a tree-lined street

Interpolation

Automatically generate missing annotations between several key frames (keyframes) in a video. This technique is used to speed up manual annotation, while maintaining sufficient precision for training AI models. This method is applicable to various types of annotations: bounding boxes, polygons, keypoints, etc.

⚙️ Process steps:

Manual annotation of objects or points on key frames (all X frames)

Activation of automatic interpolation in the annotation tool (CVAT, Label Studio, Encord, etc.)

Verification of the interpolations generated: trajectories, shapes, coherence

Manual adjustment of frames where interpolation is incorrect

🧪 Practical applications:

Logistics robotics — Fluid animation of moving objects between two positions

Embedded videos — Seamless tracking of vehicles or pedestrians without annotating each frame

Multimedia production — Accelerated annotation of long sequences for segmentation or tracking

Use cases

Our expertise covers a wide range of AI use cases, regardless of the domain or the complexity of the data. Here are a few examples:

1/3

🛍️ In-store customer behavior (Retail analytics)

Video annotations captured in stores to track movements, interactions with departments and products. Data makes it possible to analyze the customer journey or to automate the generation of heatmaps.

📦 Dataset: Videos from surveillance cameras, with spatial annotations (bounding boxes, tracking ID) and categorization of actions (watch, take, rest...).

2/3

🎾 Analysis of sports gestures

Annotated videos to follow athletes' movements frame by frame (pose estimation, keypoints). The sequences are classified by type of gesture (typing, jumping, running) to train automatic detection or intelligent coaching models.

📦 Dataset: Videos in fixed or mobile shot, annotated in keypoints or bounding boxes, with movement tags and temporal metadata.

3/3

🚧 Monitoring of sensitive areas

Annotated video sequences to detect and follow people, vehicles or incidents in secure environments (warehouses, construction sites, infrastructures).

📦 Dataset: Multi-camera videos with multi-object annotations, identification of classes (personnel, intruders, vehicles) and synchronized trajectory tracking over time.
