Case Study: Skin Cream Manufacturer achieves accurate skin condition annotation at scale with Flatworld Solutions

Fws offers image annotation services to skin cream manufacturer operating in 40 countries

Skin Cream Manufacturer, a Switzerland-based company operating across 40 countries, needed help outsourcing an image annotation project for several thousand portrait photos. The goal was to identify specific skin conditions, such as blackheads and acne, and mark the affected areas with precise bounding boxes for use in manufacturing and marketing a new face cream product. Flatworld Solutions provided the image annotation service.

Flatworld Solutions first completed a free quality trial on 100 images, supported by remote training, a customized labeling tool, and secure file transfer via Google Drive. After the successful test, the client awarded Flatworld Solutions the full project to annotate 5,000 images, which was completed by three image editing specialists in eight business days. The client reported hassle-free outsourcing, precise annotation, and 60% cost savings compared to other providers.
