Encord has announced a series of updates aimed at enhancing data annotation and quality assurance workflows, particularly in complex and regulated environments. The new features include customizable expert review workflows, which empower domain experts to finalize annotations, and an upcoming automatic quality assurance (QA) feature designed to alleviate bottlenecks in manual review processes. The platform also introduces rotating bounding boxes to improve annotation precision and multiple enhancements to its DICOM tool, such as export measurements, Maximum Intensity Projection, and auto-segmentation. Additionally, Encord's SDK has been upgraded to support more efficient data management, while platform dashboards have been reorganized for improved usability. Users can now invite collaborators at the organizational level, and there's increased flexibility in customizing zoom and scroll settings. These updates collectively aim to streamline workflows and improve the accuracy and efficiency of data annotation projects.
