How we approach labeling automation

Challenge

As the industry progresses to a higher level of autonomous driving responsibility shifts from the driver to the manufacturer. Companies developing ADAS/AD systems must increase their validation efforts to ensure system quality and reliability. To sustain large-scale validation projects, extensive labeling automation becomes essential.

Approach

We address this challenge with the strategic use of labeling automation. Encompassing initial pre-labeling, attribute definition, and rigorous quality checks, our approach markedly minimizes the need for manual annotation and enables us to precisely annotate large datasets across a wide range of use cases.

Solution

By implementing labeling automation, we effectively decouple the linear cost growth of manual labeling work from data volume, enabling us to achieve affordable and consistent high-quality annotations at scale.

Scope of our automation

Our automation capabilities span a wide range of both 2D and 3D automation tasks to successfully meet all requirements for your annotation project.

In this reference case, we successfully delivered 23 million objects as 2D Bounding Boxes as a result of labeling automation. The annotations overachieved set quality targets and were able to be provided within critical time restraints.

The Challenge

  • Validate perception algorithms in a very short amount of time with a high volume of annotations
  • Prove to internal stakeholders and the OEM customer that its perception is working accurately

Key Facts

  • Fully managed annotation service - 2D bounding boxes
  • 27,000 km with an estimated 20 million objects
  • deadline in 12 weeks
  • 4 labeling partners involved across different regions for mitigate COVID impact

Key Achievements

  • Overachieved annotation quality target of 98%
  • Over-delivered on throughout targets (received additional volume from slower supplier)
  • peak throughput 1.4 mio objects per day - accepted annotations
  • understand.ai‘s ML model continuously retrained resulting in 68% decrease in time to accepted annotation*
  • 24/7 operation with daily deliveries
