Alegion Image Annotation
Enabling Computer Vision Applications with Sophisticated Training Data
Alegion image annotation delivers computer vision training data quickly and cost effectively. Use our image annotation tools to localize and segment objects using points, lines, polygons, and bounding boxes and then classify entities into a rich ontology. For ever greater efficiency, machine learning powered tools automate tasks within your workflows.
You can use Alegion image annotation in two ways. Within our self-service platform, Alegion Control, you can rapidly experiment and iterate on projects. With Alegion Managed Services, you can harness our workforce to scale up your project. Our powerful annotation tools are easy to set up and deploy, and are designed to minimize the cognitive load on the annotation workforce to enhance both quality and productivity.
Leverage the Power of Machine Learning
Combining the Quality of Humans-in-the-Loop Annotation and with Efficient Smart Tools
It’s well known that humans-in-the-loop (HITL) annotation can produce some of the highest quality training data. But since manual data evaluation can be slow, we pair our highly qualified HITL annotation with supercharged tools like SmartPoly one-click polygon segmentation, pre-labeling, work deflection, and worker scoring. These tools help annotators label quickly and focus only on the tasks that benefit most from human judgment.
Rich Ontology
Tackle Complex Labeling Requirements with Ease
Alegion image annotation makes it possible to enrich images using a flexible and rich ontology framework. In addition to classifications, objects can be grouped in hierarchies and associations to represent a variety of real-world scenarios. Key points and key point connections provide specialized and powerful functionality optimized for pose estimation. Together, these classification tools can provide training data for the most complex use cases.
Built-in Quality
Guaranteed Quality Upfront
Quality is critical, so we’ve built in quality checks directly into our platform. In-process annotation tools automatically monitor quality based on review scoring and comparisons to ground truth data, to ensure consistent quality across millions of annotations. When using Alegion Managed Services, we recruit annotators using rigorous qualification tests that exceed client requirements. Clients have the option of using the Alegion Review Portal to review and accept the annotations our teams deliver.
Alegion Video Annotation
Unlock the Power of Your Video Assets
Whether it’s thousands of hours of security camera footage or complex pose estimation on 4K video, Alegion video annotation is built to handle it all. Our video platform’s robust streaming abilities means there are almost no limits on how much and what type of video data you send us. Our user interface is purpose-built for video and comes with AI-assisted tooling to maximize efficiency and quality. Pre- and post-processing modes ensure accuracy even with the most challenging video data.
There are two options for using Alegion’s video platform. You can use Alegion Control, our self-serve SaaS offering, to experiment and iterate quickly to scale. Or, you can outsource the work through Alegion’s Managed Services so our annotators can capitalize on the efficiencies of Alegion Video software. Annotation Tools Purpose Built for Video
Don’t Settle for Image Annotation Software
Purpose Built for Native Video Formats
Alegion software is purpose built to handle the complexities of video annotation, unlike other image annotation tools that were adapted for video annotation. Alegion scales any project with the ability to support videos of unlimited length and resolution with high annotation density. The user interface is built like a video editor to stream videos and view the sequence of annotations. Videos are automatically pre-processed to resolve encoding anomalies and ensure the highest annotation accuracy. Annotations include the ability to tag object relationships like entity hierarchies as well as key points for pose estimation. By building technology specifically for video annotation, Alegion ensures that even the most challenging use cases are within reach.
Leverage the Power of Automated Annotation Tools
Human Annotation Efficiency through Technology
Video annotation is typically complex, time consuming, and costly. As data becomes increasingly available, we know it’s more important than ever to build automation into the annotation tool itself. Alegion video annotation uses interpolation and AI powered object tracking to reduce labeling to every 10th frame, which reduces annotation time by 90%. With pre-labeling tools, Alegion video annotation automatically applies high-confidence predictions and routes the data to the review and refinement stage. With worker deflection tools, the software can curate relevant data within the data set for workers to annotate, saving them time spent evaluating bad data. Alegion’s intelligent annotation tooling allows annotators to focus on tasks that benefit most from human judgment.

Alegion Natural Language Processing
Enhance Your NLP Data
Whether your models require named entity recognition, sentiment analysis, speech recognition, or other Natural Language Processing (NLP) label types, Alegion NLP experts can design a labeling workflow to your specific requirements. Our platform combines a variety of annotation tools for a broad array of annotation scenarios.
Named Entity Recognition
Text Labeling Made Simple
Alegion’s named entity recognition (NER) tooling enables rapid setup and delivery of your text labeling projects. We can set up your workflow to identify proper nouns like person names, product names, event names, organizations, and locations, as well as numeric values like time expressions, quantities, monetary values, percentages, and dates. We are familiar with building ontologies for industry-specific labels too, like medical codes or e-commerce product types. Whether you’re building a chatbot, maintaining a content database, or parsing through consumer reviews, our entity identification annotation tools can be configured to your unique use case.
General Purpose Tasks
Custom Annotation Tasks to Meet Almost Any Need
Beyond entity recognition, our natural language processing annotation capabilities include identifying tone with sentiment analysis, identifying the contents of documents through text analysis, and support for hybrid tasks combining text with images, audio, and other media. As natural language processing develops as a field, we are continuously growing our labeling capabilities to support emerging NLP applications.
A Flexible and Inclusive Workforce
An Elastic Workforce for Any Project
Language is highly unique, with nuance, regional variations, accents, and dialects. NLP labeling projects often have special requirements, so we’ve built up an in-house team of engineers who have extensive experience in natural language processing. We also source and train annotators with the right skills and backgrounds to deliver your desired outcomes. If a project requires interpretations from a diverse workforce, we find annotators who represent your target end-users, sourced from our workforce in the US and beyond. From proof-of-concept to full scale production, Alegion can deploy the right workforce for any natural language processing project.
