Polygon Annotation

Tight contours around irregular shapes, for instance segmentation where a rectangle would include too much background.

Overview

Polygons trade annotation speed for boundary precision. Worth it when objects are irregular, overlapping, or when background inside a box would confuse the model.

We set vertex density expectations up front, since that single parameter drives both cost and final model accuracy.

What you receive

  • Annotated dataset in your training format
  • Written annotation guidelines
  • Quality report with agreement metrics
  • Sample batch for sign-off before volume

Typical stack

  • CVAT
  • Label Studio
  • COCO
  • YOLO
  • Pascal VOC
  • Python

Capabilities

What this covers in practice

01

Written guidelines before volume

Class definitions, edge cases, and rejection criteria agreed and documented before bulk work begins.

02

Calibrated annotator teams

Annotators calibrated against a reference set, with agreement measured before they join a project.

03

Independent review pass

A second annotator reviews sampled output, with rework triggered on defined error thresholds.

04

Delivery in your format

COCO, YOLO, Pascal VOC, or a custom schema - exported to match your existing training pipeline.
