Video Annotation Services

Turn raw footage into training data for tracking, action recognition, and event detection. Smart Annotahub labels objects consistently across frames, with stable IDs and precise temporal boundaries.

Types of Video Annotation We Offer

01

Object Tracking

Persistent IDs for every object across frames, including occlusions, re-entries, and camera cuts.

02

Frame-by-Frame Boxes and Polygons

Dense per-frame geometry when interpolation is not precise enough for your model.

03

Action and Activity Recognition

Start and end timestamps for actions, gestures, and behaviors, labeled to your taxonomy.

04

Event Detection

Rare-event tagging in long recordings, from safety incidents to key moments in sports.

05

Pose Tracking

Skeleton keypoints tracked over time for motion analysis, fitness, and robotics.

06

Video Classification

Clip-level labels and attributes for content moderation and retrieval.

How We Deliver Video Annotation

From your first sample to production volume, every project follows the same six-step path, with no commitment until the pilot proves the quality.

  1. Step 01

    NDA and Discovery

    We sign an NDA first, then clarify your goals, taxonomy, edge cases, and target accuracy for the video footage.

  2. Step 02

    Free Pilot

    We annotate a sample of your video footage at no cost, so you can judge quality, speed, and edge-case handling first-hand.

  3. Step 03

    Proposal and Agreement

    Based on your pilot feedback, we finalize scope, timeline, pricing, and the Service Level Agreement.

  4. Step 04

    Team Setup and Training

    We assemble a dedicated team, train it on your guidelines, and agree on communication channels and progress tracking.

  5. Step 05

    Production Labeling

    Our team runs video annotation to the agreed plan, with throughput and accuracy KPIs tracked for every annotator.

  6. Step 06

    QA and Delivery

    Your annotated video pass multi-stage quality review before delivery. Your feedback feeds straight back into the guidelines.

Video Annotation for Your Industry

Temporal consistency matters as much as per-frame precision. Our workflows check both.

01

Mobility and Autonomous Systems

Multi-object tracking for dashcam and surround-view footage.

02

Sports Technology

Player tracking, ball trajectories, and play-event tagging.

03

Security and Surveillance

Person and vehicle tracking with behavior and anomaly labels.

04

Retail Analytics

In-store foot traffic, dwell time, and shelf interaction.

05

Robotics

Manipulation and navigation footage for imitation learning.

    Video Annotation FAQs

    How do you keep object IDs consistent across long videos?

    Annotators work on continuous segments with overlap, and reviewers run dedicated ID-consistency checks before delivery.

    Do you use interpolation?

    Yes, where it keeps accuracy within tolerance. Keyframe density is set during the pilot and adjusted for fast motion or occlusions.

    Can you annotate only selected frames?

    Yes. We can sample frames at a fixed rate or label only the segments that contain relevant events.

    What video lengths can you handle?

    From short clips to multi-hour recordings. Long footage is split into segments and reassembled with continuous IDs.
