Data annotation is all about labeling or tagging relevant information/metadata in a dataset to let machines understand what they are. The dataset could be in any form i.e., an image, an audio file, video footage, or even text.  Data is one of the three key elements in the development of artificial intelligence. The development of a computer recognition engine requires massive training data, which need to be annotated. These data include images, sounds, text, etc. Annotation of these types of data includes classification, frame, annotation, marking, etc. Types of data annotations in computer vision Computer vision is one of the most debated topics in the current AI landscape. On your phone (something like facial recognition or automated classification of images), in manufacturing settings (emotion recognition for remote education), and in public settings (emotion recognition for remote education). In order to understand why computer vision algorithms are so popular, let’s look at the types of annotation tasks that enable them to do so. Image Categorization In machine learning, this type of task is also known as image classification. By categorizing images, ML algorithms can be trained to group them into predefined categories. These classes will make it possible for a machine-learning model to identify what is detected in a photo after training. It can, for instance, recognize the difference between a Georgian and a rococo armchair if it is trained to recognize different furniture styles. Semantic Segmentation An image can be viewed as a separate entity by a human. Using semantic segmentation, a machine can be trained to associate each pixel of an image with a class of objects (e.g., trees, vehicles, humans, buildings, highways, and sky). Once that’s done, the machine learning model clusters similar pixels together. The machine then trains to “see” the separate objects on the picture using the map created by clustering different object classes. 2D boxes Data annotations of this type also go by the name bounding boxes. These annotations illustrate objects in 2D by drawing boxes around them on an image. For example, cars, people, household objects, cars are used in autonomous driving algorithms, etc. Using similar parameters, the machine then classes objects into predefined categories (cars, people, household items, etc.).

The 1969 edition of Illinois' flag is the version that was used from then on. 2025 flag change. On December 10th, 2024, 10 finalists for a new Illinois state flag were released. They were chosen from thousands of designs in a flag redesign competition to be put to a public vote from January-February 2025. In addition to those designs, people could vote to adopt the Centennial Flag, the Sesquicentennial Flag, or the current flag. When the votes were counted, 43% voted to keep the current flag.
