Alegion Blog Expanding a Human Pose Dataset to Augment a Manufacturing Vision Platform

Company Invisible AI Industry Software for Manufacturing and Manual Work Operations Alegion Offering Used Video Annotation with Fully Managed Services The Challenge Invisible AI is a visual intelligence platform that tracks human motion to monitor the safety and productivity of manufacturing sites. The company needed a high-volume labeling service to supercharge an open source pose estimation dataset. They used Alegion’s end-to-end managed service to scale up annotations to 3,432,000 in 11 months and increase model accuracy to 79%. A Vision Platform that Ensures Safety and Productivity One of the most pressing questions for manufacturing workers and employers centers around safety: How does a workplace keep employees safe as theywork with heavy machinery, tools, and assembly items? This question then becomes one of efficiency: How does a workplace supervise dozens, even hundreds, of cameras to ensure workers are safe and productive? These are problems that Invisible AI solves. Invisible AI, an Austin, Texas-based company, automates factory supervision with an AI-powered visual monitoring system. In other words, Invisible AI’s products track human motion to help workers operate more safely, efficiently, and accurately. For example, one Invisible AI product instantly detects and alerts supervisors if a worker is using incorrect form to lift heavy items. Another product mistake-proofs processes so that common assembly mistakes are caught and fixed before it causes costly rework. At the core of this software solution is a human pose dataset that Alegion customized to Invisible AI’s computer vision model by adding millions of labels.
