    A beginner-friendly introduction to LiDAR: what it is, how it works, its types, and application.

    image

    LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) is an advanced system mainly used for 3D modeling and topography. It works in the same way as Radar and Sonic: by shooting laser beams and receiving reflected light to calculate distance and estimate depth.

    In this guide, we will cover:

    • What is LiDAR?
    • How it works?
    • LiDAR Types
    • LiDAR Applications

    LiDAR is a special data widely used where 2D RGB images are not enough. Learn more.

    image

    IoU is one of the most popular, consistent metrics for assessing the accuracy of computer vision models, especially object detectors. We wrote an introductory post about this statistical measure.

    Today, we'll cover:

    • Essentials and calculation of IoU
    • Thresholds and extensions of IoU
    • Mistakes and fixes for IoU

    IoU is essentially a numerical measure of how well your model is predicting classes/marking bounding boxes. Learn more.

  3. 5 Best Medical Image Annotation Tools of 2025

    Announcement

    A comprehensive review of top 5 medical image labeling platforms of 2025.

    image

    There are many tools available that can be used to annotate medical images. They differ in their focus, features, and pricing. We have reviewed many tools and come up with this:

    In today's post:

    • Selection criteria for medical annotation tools
    • 5 best platforms
    • Choosing the right medical labeling platform

    Medical annotation is hard. Your tool should facilitate labeling as much as possible, not hinder it.

  7. Instance vs. Semantic Segmentation: Similarities & Differences

    Announcement

    Learn the similarities and differences between instance and semantic segmentation with examples.

    image

    Image segmentation is the process of dividing the image into masks, or segments. Depending on the algorithm, there are two major annotation types: semantic and instance segmentation.

    Today, we'll cover:

    • Instance & semantic segmentation
    • Their similarities and differences
    • Popular computer vision models for these types

    Both types are advanced annotation techniques that result in accurate masks at the cost of longer training, annotation, deployment.

    image

    You probably have heard of medical image annotation. It is a type of data labeling for healthcare. But what exactly is it and how is it different from image annotation for regular data?

    Today we'll cover:

    • Essentials of medical image annotation
    • Difference between regular and medical image labeling
    • Standards: DICOM & HIPAA
    • Techniques and tools

    Medical image labeling is a much different, expensive, and challenging type of data labeling. Learn more.

  9. How to Avoid Bias in Computer Vision Models?

    Announcement

    Learn latest best practices to detect and avoid bias in your computer vision development pipelines in 2025.

    image

    Bias is a systematic error that crops up during computer vision model development. It skews training and testing, leading to what is known as "AI hallucinations". How to detect and avoid bias? We answer that question today.

    In our post:
