New ARIDA framework automates railway image annotation, cutting manual effort

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A new framework called ARIDA has been developed to automate the annotation of railway infrastructure in images, significantly reducing manual labeling efforts. This semi-automated pipeline uses neural network predictions to generate various annotation formats like bounding boxes and polygons, incorporating a quality score and confidence thresholds to ensure reliability. ARIDA also features an active learning loop that prioritizes uncertain images for human review, further optimizing the annotation process and achieving substantial effort reduction. AI

IMPACT Automates a tedious data annotation process, potentially accelerating development in computer vision for infrastructure.

    ARIDA - Active railway infrastructure dataset annotation using neural network predictions

    arXiv:2611.05646v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Modern railway perception requires large comprehensive image datasets, but creating them is slowed by manual labeling, especially for track polylines and other complex infrastructure geometry. This paper presents the Active Railway …
