Our Data Annotation Services for Mapping Industry Projects
In the area of data annotation for the mapping industry, Label Your Data has the opportunity to demonstrate its extensive knowledge in computer vision projects. Our global annotation team can deliver the following geospatial annotation services (but we are always ready for custom annotation tasks):
Bounding Boxes for Satellite Imagery
Semantic Segmentation for Roads
Polygonal Annotation for Solar Energy and Agriculture Tasks
Polylines and Keypoints for Other Applications
We performed bounding box annotation to pinpoint rooftops and various objects within satellite images. These annotations are used for object detection and localization tasks.
Our expertise extends to semantic segmentation, enabling the accurate identification and classification of different road components, vital for road mapping and navigation applications.
Our annotators delivered accurate annotations of solar panels on buildings and crops in agricultural settings using polygons. This type of data labeling helps define the exact boundaries of these elements, facilitating analysis and monitoring.
While less common, we also offer annotation services for polylines and keypoints when your project demands more specialized data representations.

Our Success Stories
Main challenge:
Differentiating rooftop objects in low-quality images.
Solution:
Collaborative refinement of labeling guidelines with real-time feedback tool.
Geospatial Annotation for Carbon Monitoring
In partnership with an Australian agency focused on accelerating carbon abatement, we undertook a short-term project involving 3000 satellite rooftop images. Our task was to accurately label solar panels, water heaters, and other equipment, distinguishing between different objects on the roofs. Challenges arose due to image quality variations, necessitating close Client collaboration for handling edge cases. We enhanced labeling guidelines and provided our tool for real-time label review and feedback. This ensured precise identification and alignment with the Client’s objectives.
Main challenge:
Managing the subjectivity of landfill detection cases during model validation.
Solution:
Implementing cross-reference quality assurance with confidence scoring.
Satellite-Based Landfill Detection Model Validation
We conducted model validation for a US university, specifically assessing their landfill detection model utilizing satellite imagery. Our process involved verifying the accuracy of landfill detections based on provided coordinates. Given the subjective nature of many cases, we implemented a cross-reference QA approach, involving two annotators assessing the same data. Notably, annotators assigned confidence scores when uncertain about a label. What sets this project apart is our on-demand model, allowing the client to pause between annotation iterations to continually test, refine, and enhance their model.
Main challenge:
Adhering to stringent security and data-sharing restrictions within military object detection from satellite imagery.
Solution:
Integration with client’s annotation software and formation of a dedicated team.
Geospatial Annotation for Military Defense
For a military defense project, we leveraged satellite imagery to train the model for the precise identification of specific military assets. This demanded not only a high degree of accuracy but also a comprehensive grasp of specific military classifications. Additionally, the Client required strict security adherence, necessitating the integration of our solution into their annotation software and the establishment of a dedicated, trusted team to handle the sensitive data, ensuring utmost confidentiality.
