Overview

Enhancing AR footwear try-on precision through high-quality segmentation

‍

Introduction

ZERO10, a technology company specializing in augmented reality (AR) and artificial intelligence (AI) solutions for retail, sought to improve the precision of their AR footwear try-on models. The goal was to deliver a more immersive and accurate user experience, which required high-quality semantic segmentation of footwear images. SUPA, a provider of advanced data annotation services, was engaged to address this challenge using their expertise in segmentation and annotation infrastructure.

‍

Problem Statement

ZERO10’s existing AR try-on models relied on automated segmentation tools, including the Segment Anything Model (SAM). However, these methods fell short of delivering the pixel-level accuracy necessary for a seamless AR experience. The limitations of automated tools, combined with the inability of their previous annotation partner to meet scalability, speed, and accuracy requirements, necessitated a more robust solution. ZERO10 required a partner capable of delivering high-precision segmentation data to power their advanced footwear try-on feature.

‍

Solution

SUPA addressed ZERO10’s requirements through a combination of their proprietary annotation platform, SupaAnnotator, and a highly skilled workforce trained in complex segmentation tasks. The solution included the following key components:

SupaAnnotator Platform:
- Built-in intelligent tools for efficient annotation.
- Collaborative quality control (QC) and feedback workflows to ensure consistency and accuracy.
- Streamlined labeling processes to handle large-scale datasets.
Expert Annotation Workforce:
- A dedicated team of annotators with extensive experience in semantic segmentation.
- Rigorous training on Kaya, SUPA’s distributed workforce training platform, to ensure adherence to project-specific guidelines and quality standards.
Accuracy and Scalability:
- The solution was designed to meet ZERO10’s accuracy requirement of over 90%, with a focus on achieving human-level precision.
- Scalable infrastructure to handle the volume and complexity of the dataset.

‍

Implementation and Results

SUPA delivered 15,000 high-quality segmentation data points within 5 weeks, significantly outperforming the initial timeline of 6 to 9 weeks. The results included:

Accuracy: SUPA achieved an exceptional segmentation accuracy of over 99%, surpassing ZERO10’s target of 90%.
Speed: The rapid turnaround enabled ZERO10 to accelerate the development and deployment of their AR try-on feature.
Impact: The high-quality segmentation data empowered ZERO10 to deliver a more immersive and accurate AR experience for their users, enhancing customer engagement and satisfaction.
