Case Study: Charles River Analytics achieves 20x faster whale image labeling with CloudFactory Accelerated Annotation

Charles River Analytics speeds image labeling 20x with CloudFactory

Charles River Analytics, a leader in AI for government and private sector applications, needed high-quality data to train machine learning models for complex maritime challenges like whale detection and unmanned vessel navigation. Their in-house and crowdsourced data labeling efforts were insufficient in accuracy and scale. They partnered with CloudFactory and used its Accelerated Annotation service to address this.

CloudFactory provided a scalable, high-quality data labeling solution with secure government contracting expertise and strong feedback loops. This partnership enabled Charles River Analytics to label over 30,000 images, achieving a 20x faster annotation speed and generating over $100,000 in annual cost savings. CloudFactory's solution delivered the precise, scaled data needed to significantly advance the client's marine safety AI models.
