Client
A US-based geospatial intelligence company uses computer vision and machine learning to transform earth-sensor data into land cover and mapping products. Its technology processes complex visual data to generate geographic information for AI-powered mapping applications.
Challenges
Annotation bottlenecks were slowing the client’s land cover classification models on their path to production. The geospatial AI company needed a reliable partner to maintain labeling quality and delivery speed while keeping internal experts focused on R&D.
Growing annotation volumes exceeding internal capacity
High precision requirements for complex geospatial imagery
Inconsistent labels delaying model deployment
Repetitive annotation tasks diverting internal experts from R&D
Solution
Label Your Data trained the annotation team on the client’s land cover classification guidelines, using internal quality control (QC) training videos and task-based checks to reinforce annotation standards. An initial pilot batch confirmed alignment with the client’s requirements before scaling production.
37 trained annotators organized into two specialized teams
Correction and refinement of model-generated pre-labels
Structured QA reviews before client acceptance
Rolling batch deliveries throughout the year-long engagement

AI with Pixel-Level Annotation
Results
Label Your Data helped the geospatial intelligence company overcome training data bottlenecks through large-scale annotation correction and structured QA. The collaboration delivered measurable improvements in model accuracy and deployment speed:
Production deployment accelerated by several months
Classification accuracy improved from 0.81 to 0.91
Feature detection accuracy increased from 0.75 to 0.87
Expanded capacity for larger projects, freeing internal experts to focus on algorithms, R&D, and customer projects
