Automate multi-modality, parallel data labeling workflows with Amazon SageMaker Ground Truth and AWS Step Functions
This is the first in a two-part series on the Amazon SageMaker Ground Truth hierarchical labeling workflow and dashboards. In Part 1, we look at creating multi-step labeling workflows for hierarchical label taxonomies using AWS Step Functions. In Part 2 (coming soon), we look at how to build dashboards for analyzing dataset annotations and worker […]
Annotate dense point cloud data using Amazon SageMaker Ground Truth
Autonomous vehicle companies typically use LiDAR sensors to generate a 3D understanding of the environment around their vehicles. For example, they mount a LiDAR sensor on their vehicles to continuously capture point-in-time snapshots of the surrounding 3D environment. The LiDAR sensor output is a sequence of 3D point cloud frames (the typical capture rate is […]
Quality Assessment for SageMaker Ground Truth Video Object Tracking Annotations using Statistical Analysis
Data quality is an important topic for virtually all teams and systems deriving insights from data, especially teams and systems using machine learning (ML) models. Supervised ML is the task of learning a function that maps an input to an output based on examples of input-output pairs. For a supervised ML algorithm to effectively learn […]
HawkEye 360 uses Amazon SageMaker Autopilot to streamline machine learning model development for maritime vessel risk assessment
This post is cowritten by Ian Avilez and Tim Pavlick from HawkEye 360. HawkEye 360 is a commercial radio frequency (RF) satellite constellation data analytics provider. Our signals of interest include very high frequency (VHF) push-to-talk radios, maritime radar systems, AIS beacons, satellite mobile comms, and more. Our Mission Space offering, released in February 2021, […]
Protecting people from hazardous areas through virtual boundaries with Computer Vision
April 2023 Update: Starting January 31, 2024, you will no longer be able to access AWS DeepLens through the AWS management console, manage DeepLens devices, or access any projects you have created. To learn more, refer to these frequently asked questions about AWS DeepLens end of life. As companies welcome more autonomous robots and other heavy […]
Acoustic anomaly detection using Amazon Lookout for Equipment
As the modern factory becomes more connected, manufacturers are increasingly using a range of inputs (such as process data, audio, and visual) to increase their operational efficiency. Companies use this information to monitor equipment performance and anticipate failures using predictive maintenance techniques powered by machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI). Although traditional sensors built […]
Object detection with Detectron2 on Amazon SageMaker
Deep learning is at the forefront of most machine learning (ML) implementations across a broad set of business verticals. Driven by the highly flexible nature of neural networks, the boundary of what is possible has been pushed to a point where neural networks can outperform humans in a variety of tasks, such as object detection […]
PDF document pre-processing with Amazon Textract: Visuals detection and removal
Amazon Textract is a fully managed machine learning (ML) service that automatically extracts printed text, handwriting, and other data from scanned documents that goes beyond simple optical character recognition (OCR) to identify, understand, and extract data from forms and tables. Amazon Textract can detect text in a variety of documents, including financial reports, medical records, […]
Accelerating the deployment of PPE detection solution to comply with safety guidelines
Personal protective equipment (PPE) such as face covers (face mask), hand covers (gloves), and head covers (helmet) are essential for many businesses. For example, helmets are required at construction sites for employee safety, and gloves and face masks are required in the restaurant industry for hygienic operations. In the current COVID-19 pandemic environment, PPE compliance […]
Extracting buildings and roads from AWS Open Data using Amazon SageMaker
Sharing data and computing in the cloud allows data users to focus on data analysis rather than data access. Open Data on AWS helps you discover and share public open datasets in the cloud. The Registry of Open Data on AWS hosts a large amount of public open data. The datasets range from genomics to climate to transportation […]
