Image Annotation & Labeling Services

Computer vision models are only as good as the training data behind them. Object detection, classification, segmentation — every computer vision model needs large volumes of accurately annotated images. Bogner & Partners provides dedicated image annotation teams from our Nairobi facility, trained on your specific guidelines and quality standards.

Image Annotation Methods

Our annotators are proficient across all major image annotation techniques:

Bounding Box Annotation

Rectangular boxes drawn around objects of interest. The most common annotation method for object detection tasks. Used in autonomous driving (vehicles, pedestrians), retail (product detection), security (person/object identification), and manufacturing (defect detection).

Polygon Annotation

Precise outlines traced around irregularly shaped objects. Delivers higher accuracy than bounding boxes for objects with non-rectangular shapes. Common in medical imaging, agriculture (crop and weed identification), and geospatial analysis.

Semantic Segmentation

Pixel-level classification where every pixel in an image is assigned to a category. Essential for scene understanding applications including autonomous navigation, medical image analysis, and land use classification from satellite imagery.

Instance Segmentation

Combining pixel-level accuracy with individual object distinction. Each object instance is separately identified and segmented, enabling models to distinguish between overlapping objects of the same class. Used in robotics, warehouse automation, and advanced manufacturing.

Keypoint Annotation

Placing specific landmark points on objects — facial features, body joints, hand positions, or structural features. Critical for pose estimation, gesture recognition, facial analysis, and motion tracking applications.

Image Classification

Assigning category labels to entire images. Used for content moderation, product categorization, quality inspection, and scene classification.


Industries We Serve

Our image annotation teams support clients across diverse sectors:

  • Autonomous vehicles — Vehicles, pedestrians, lane markings, traffic signs, road surfaces
  • Medical and healthcare — X-rays, MRIs, CT scans, pathology slides, retinal images
  • Agriculture — Crop health, pest identification, yield estimation from drone imagery
  • Retail and e-commerce — Product recognition, shelf analytics, visual search training
  • Manufacturing — Defect detection, quality inspection, assembly verification
  • Geospatial — Land use classification, building detection, infrastructure mapping
  • Security and surveillance — Person detection, vehicle tracking, anomaly identification

Quality Assurance

Image annotation quality directly affects model performance. Our QA process includes:

  • Annotator testing — All annotators pass qualification tests before working on production data
  • Multi-level review — Annotations reviewed by senior annotators and QA leads
  • Inter-annotator agreement — Consistency measured across annotators on the same data
  • Automated checks — Tool-based validation for annotation format compliance and basic error detection
  • Client feedback integration — Your feedback on sample reviews is incorporated into ongoing training

Annotation Platforms

We work with your preferred annotation platform, including Labelbox, CVAT, V7, Supervisely, Label Studio, Scale AI, and custom tools.

FAQ

It depends on annotation type and complexity. Simple bounding boxes on clear objects cost less than pixel-level semantic segmentation on medical images. Our annotators start at EUR 4.55 per hour, and throughput varies --- a trained annotator can label 200--500 bounding boxes per hour but only 15--30 polygon annotations per hour on complex shapes. We quote per-image or per-hour rates after reviewing a sample of your data.

We target 95--98% annotation accuracy depending on task complexity, measured through inter-annotator agreement and QA sampling. Every annotation passes a multi-level review: annotator, senior annotator, then QA lead. We also run automated validation checks for format compliance and spatial consistency. If accuracy drops below the agreed threshold on any batch, we rework it at no extra cost.

Yes. We work directly within your preferred annotation platform, including Labelbox, CVAT, V7, Label Studio, Supervisely, and Scale AI. Our annotators log into your workspace, follow your existing taxonomy and label definitions, and deliver annotations in your native format. No data migration or tool switching required.

We deploy a trained annotation team within 30 days. That includes annotator recruitment, qualification testing on your specific data type, and onboarding to your guidelines and tools. For urgent projects, we can assign pre-qualified annotators from our existing pool within 1--2 weeks. Teams scale from 5 annotators for pilot batches to 50+ for production volumes of millions of images.

We train annotators specifically on your medical imaging guidelines --- whether that is radiology (X-rays, CT, MRI), pathology slides, or retinal scans. Annotators complete domain-specific qualification tests using your reference data before touching production images. For clinical-grade datasets, we implement double-blind annotation where two annotators label independently and a QA lead resolves disagreements. We are GDPR compliant and ISO 27001 certified for handling sensitive patient data.
