Object detection is crucial for a camera and program functionality as it requires precise identification of the desired object. Proper labeling and annotation of images are essential to ensure the program can accurately interpret the target object. While having a large set of labeled images is not mandatory, training on a substantial number of images improves program performance. Collaborating on image labeling can be more efficient than handling the entire process alone. For this purpose, Roboflow enables teams to work together seamlessly on image annotation.
