PIXEL-LEVEL ANNOTATION

Semantic and Instance Segmentation Services

Segmentation quality depends on explicit boundary rules. We align how to treat holes, thin structures, overlaps, truncation and uncertain edges before production, then review masks at the object and class levels.

Annotation approach

  • Pixel-class and instance-ID mapping
  • Boundary inclusion rules
  • Occlusion ordering
  • Minimum-region thresholds

Common edge cases

  • Thin or low-contrast boundaries
  • Overlapping instances
  • Interior holes
  • Motion blur and compression artifacts
  • Partially visible damage or tissue regions

QUALITY ASSURANCE

Review that follows the guideline

Quality checks are selected for the data type and acceptance criteria. Metrics and review coverage depend on the project, platform and agreed workflow.
