What types of data can be processed by V7?

V7 can process various types of data, including images, medical imaging files, videos, volumetric series, and documents. The exact types of data that can be processed may depend on the specific use case and requirements. However, V7 supports the majority of visual data formats.

What programming languages and frameworks are compatible with the V7 platform?

You can use V7’s Darwin-py SKD to interact with the platform via CLI or use it as a Python library. The full documentation and API reference is available in the V7 resource hub.

What are the steps involved in model training?

If you decide to train your computer vision models on our platform, all you need to do is complete at least 100 annotations of a specific class. Then, you can pick the datasets and classes to train object detection, classification, or instance segmentation models with no additional steps.

What pricing plans does V7 offer?

V7 offers three pricing plans: Team, Business, and Pro. The team plan starts at USD 5,000/year. For detailed pricing and feature overview, see the V7 pricing page.

Can you handle large volumes of data for annotation?

Yes, V7 is equipped to handle large volumes of data for annotation. It offers efficient and scalable data management capabilities, making it a great solution for organizations with large datasets.

What kind of annotations can be performed using V7?

V7 can perform various types of annotations for tasks, including object detection, semantic segmentation, and image classification. There are multiple annotation classes, such as polygon masks, bounding boxes, keypoint skeletons for human pose estimation, etc.

What is V7?

V7 is a data training platform that focuses on automation and ease of use. It offers advanced machine learning capabilities, and V7’s key feature, Auto-Annotate, utilizes AI to quickly segment objects in an image, reducing the time required to make annotations by up to 10x.

What is the pricing for data annotation and custom model training services?

V7 uses a system of credits that are consumed when you use specific tools or perform operations such as model training.
