Image Labeling Essentials is one of DeeLab Academy’s recently launched certification courses. This 5-day image annotation training focuses on core labeling methods used in machine learning—especially in computer vision tasks like object detection, pose estimation, and image segmentation.
Training and Certifying the Next Generation of Data Annotators
DeeLab Academy is designed to equip data annotators with practical, industry-relevant skills. Whether you’re starting a new career or refining your expertise, our courses offer hands-on experience to prepare you for real-world AI projects.
Our first group of six trainees joined the Image Labeling course for individuals, all successfully completed the training and passed the final exam to become certified. But what exactly is image annotation, and what does the course involve?
What is Image Annotation?
Image annotation is the process of labeling visual data—such as photos or video frames—to help train machine learning models. These annotations teach AI systems to recognize objects, people, actions, or features within an image. It plays a foundational role in computer vision tasks like object detection, facial recognition, and image segmentation.
Understanding Image Labeling
Images have a distinct language machines decode. Image labeling, adding meaning to each pixel, is key. Let’s uncover methods enabling AI to understand visuals.
Image Labeling Essentials: Course Overview
Image Labeling Essentials is one of our recently launched certification courses. This 5-day course focuses on core image annotation techniques essential for machine learning, especially in the field of computer vision. The course is delivered through interactive live online sessions, led by experienced trainers. Participants learn using the same tools and methods applied in professional AI development environments.
Tools Used: Labelbox and Label Studio
Labelbox is a commercial tool offering a streamlined interface, efficient project management, and support for large-scale annotation.
Label Studio is an open-source platform known for its flexibility and support for a wide range of data types.
Participants get hands-on experience with both tools—learning how to navigate the interfaces, create and modify annotations, and review completed work. This dual exposure helps future annotators adapt to different project requirements and client environments.
A Closer Look at the Labelbox Audio Labeling Tool
Labelbox is a popular tool designed for labeling data, providing precision and ease for businesses working on algorithm training. It’s convenient to use and performs well overall. Having finished an audio labeling project using Labelbox, we are excited to share our thoughts.
Key Annotation Methods
The training focuses on three widely used image annotation techniques:
Bounding Box Annotation: Drawing rectangular boxes around objects to train models in object detection.
Keypoint Annotation: Marking specific points (e.g., joints, facial features) for tasks like pose estimation.
Polygon Annotation: Drawing custom shapes around irregular objects for tasks like image segmentation.
Each method is taught with attention to accuracy, consistency, and efficiency—qualities that are vital in professional annotation work.
Quality Assurance and Feedback Process
Participants submit their annotation work for review after each session. Trainers highlight common mistakes and provide individualized feedback. Through peer review and discussions, participants learn to improve their accuracy and speed while maintaining high-quality standards.
Assessment and Certification
At the end of the course, participants complete a final assessment to test their understanding and practical skills. The assessment includes tool navigation, annotation creation, edits, and review practices. Those who pass receive an official DeeLab certification, signaling their readiness to take on image labeling tasks in professional projects.
