Case Study: Compound Eye cuts data labeling costs by 33% with CloudFactory

Compound Eye cuts data labeling cost 33% with CloudFactory

CloudFactory provided computer vision annotation services to autonomous vehicle startup Compound Eye. The customer faced the challenge of needing to accurately label vast amounts of 2D and 3D image data to train its VIDAS perception software, but lacked in-house capacity. Previous outsourcing attempts failed due to poor quality, high costs, and restrictive tools.

The solution involved CloudFactory's managed workforce using Compound Eye's own custom annotation tool to perform dense 3D cuboid and per-pixel semantic labeling. CloudFactory also acted as a consultative partner, advising on tool improvements. This partnership enabled Compound Eye to decrease its cost per frame by 33% while achieving high-accuracy labels, which was critical to advancing its technology and moving out of stealth mode.
