There are pretty decently paid jobs in AI training, because they need people who are knowledgeable and dilligent to do it. I get adverts about it from time to time but I'm no scab.
I'm taking about the people who draw a box around an object in a video or image and give it a label, move on to the next frame, ensure the auto tracking moved the boxes into the right areas, next frame.
They don't need to know any code,. they don't actually train the model which can mostly be automated anyway. but AFAIK there's no short cuts for annotation, only crowd sourced annotators
surely they don't get paid much? although I guess they have to be paid enough to do the boxes properly in the first place
Imagine how much work it would be if you wanted to annotate a 90 minute movie it must take a crazy amount of man hours??
chatgpt tells me theres no secret workarounds to speed everything up apart from the boxes auto tracking over frames...
there's no way to automate it with computers, because they have to already have been trained and have the data.
people need to annotate so they can train etc
even like a 6 second video at 60fps with around 10 moving elements on the screen is crazy annoying to annotate
have to move every box to be properly centere in most frames.
have to hide the label/bounding box on any frames they aren't visible.
make the box larger or smaller for frames as needed.
check when new things appear and things leave for good.
you;ll see videos online of CVAT tracking bounding boxes like magic, when you actually use their website it's nothing like that at all. the boxes move approximately in the right place but still need adjustment.
if anyone wants a bird feeder these look sick for 9.99
weirdly was like 18£ when I ordered, but amazon refunded me the difference.
all metal apart from the plastic perch and the plastic bottom.
it does come with 2 spare perch incase they get broken them when taking it apart to clean.
it's painted metal.
they are kinda wide compared to most tube feeders, I was kinda surprised at the size.
looks nice though
NOT MY VIDEO
only just occurred to me recently that bird feeders are basically emulating how birds would feed naturally at a dead tree looking in holes for insects etc..
yet people claim birds became reliant on them.. surely the bird thinks it's foraging as normal/
