Interactive Validations

The Interactive Validation performs checks on annotations data before the task moves to the next stage and can be configured during the setup phase (label validation). It uses pre-defined validations set during the setup and highlights potential issues. The tool allows users to view, validate, and fix problems interactively without leaving the annotation workspace.

Validation enhances the workflow by ensuring consistent and high-quality results across various business requirements.

Use Cases

• Quality Assurance: Automatically catch incomplete or incorrect annotations

• Progression Control: Block data from progressing to the next stage (e.g., internal review, customer auditing) if it fails basic validation

• Consistency Check: Ensures consistency in object properties across frames and sequences

• Customer Business Rule: Enforce project-specific rules without manual checks

• Real Time Feedback: Show validation errors as annotators work, enabling faster correction

---

Benefits

• Prevents invalid or incomplete annotations from progressing

• Saves time by linking validation errors directly to their locations

• Customizable per workflow to match specific project needs

• Non-disruptive: user can keep the report open while annotating
