Image & Video Classification / Object Detection
Off-the-shelf vision APIs are trained on generic objects, they weren't built to recognize your specific SKUs, equipment, vehicles, or scene layout, and that gap shows up as missed counts and misclassifications the moment you put them into production. This service builds and fine-tunes a detection or classification model against your actual footage and images, so it reliably identifies, counts, and tracks the exact things your business needs to watch. It's for teams that need automated visibility into inventory levels, foot traffic, equipment on a yard, or objects moving through a process, at a scale manual review can't sustain. The output plugs into the systems you already use (a dashboard, an alert, an API call) rather than sitting as a standalone demo.
This is a capability we deliver for you as a service, not a role we’re hiring for.
How We’d Approach This
A clear, staged plan, not a black box
These are the service-specific steps inside our six-step process.
- 1
Diagnose: collect sample images and video from your real environment and pin down exactly what needs to be detected, counted, or tracked, and how accurate it has to be.
- 2
Pilot: label a starter dataset and train a baseline model against one camera feed or image set, then run it against real footage side by side with a manual count.
- 3
Review: walk through precision and recall together (what it catches, what it misses, what it gets wrong) and decide if it's worth hardening.
- 4
Build: expand the training data, integrate the model into a live pipeline with an API or dashboard, and set up drift monitoring as lighting, angles, or objects change.
What You Get
Deliverables from this engagement
- A trained detection or classification model tuned to your specific objects and environment
- An API or integration endpoint for real-time or batch inference
- A precision/recall accuracy report benchmarked against a labeled test set
- A monitoring dashboard tracking detection volume and confidence over time
- Documentation for retraining the model as new object types appear
