Summary

We are on the cusp of a computer vision revolution, which will touch every aspect of our lives, from autonomous vehicles to medical imaging and disaster response. Computer vision algorithms are being used in various industries, including healthcare, education, and government, to improve efficiency and accuracy. However, the current reliance on manual data labelling is hindering the technology's progress, as it creates a bottleneck that needs to be overcome. To address this issue, companies need to adopt new tools and approaches that can scale and automate data labelling, such as Encord's micro-models technology, which enables flexible ontology-defining and automates labelling with minimal hand-annotated data. By breaking away from manual labelling practices, companies can unlock the full potential of computer vision and transform industries, ultimately solving large-scale challenges like disaster response and climate change.
