AUTOMOTIVE USE CASES

Behavior Understanding for AV
Gather data for autonomous vehicle datasets by capturing human motions in specific indoor and outdoor environments using sensors and cameras.
Distracted Driver Monitoring
Record contributors in simulated driver seat to identify cues of distracted, drowsy, and alert driving without sleeping for 24 hrs.
Alertness Detection
Contributors annotate video footage of driver’s faces to train models to recognize distracted driving.
Movement Detection for Automotive Security Systems
Track real-life behaviors to train in-car security systems by recording contributors simulating specified actions around the vehicle.
Mapping Application Validation with POI
In-field contributors gather real-time data on geographic locations by physically visiting EV charging stations to validate map accuracy.
Voice Command Response Testing & Correction
Collect data in a simulated in-studio environment by having contributors interact with infotainment and navigation systems to test AI voice command responses.
Translation for In-cabin Voice Assistant
Contributors translate sentences and phrases into 18 different languages to train in-cabin voice assistants.
Object Detection & Tracking for Autonomous Driving
Contributors are trained to work on the customer’s platform and perform rolling point cloud annotation services for autonomous driving.
Object Recognition Optimization
Contributors QA and tag attributes of pre-annotated data, such as counting objects and checking box accuracy in videos and images.
Model Error Mitigation
Contributors tag images, video frames/timestamps with data where customer model underperforms so relevant frames can be selected.
