Aerial & Drone Data Annotation

Aerial models fail on small objects, shifting altitude, and inconsistent labels. We annotate drone imagery, video, and sensor data through a multi-stage QA process, so your AI model trains on labels it can trust.

Introduction

What is Aerial Data Annotation?

The standard we hold
The accuracy of your labels is the accuracy of your AI model, and our process is built around that.
  1. 01The challenge

    Aerial and drone imagery breaks the assumptions that ground-level datasets allow. Vehicles, panels, and people appear as a few dozen pixels. Scale changes with every altitude. Shadows, haze, and seasonal change alter how the same object looks across flights. In video, one missed frame breaks an object track.

  2. 02The impact

    Labeling errors in this data become detection errors in your model. Those errors then show up as missed defects, false alerts, and retraining cycles that delay deployment.

  3. 03Our approach

    Qualitas Global treats aerial annotation as a data operations problem. Annotators are trained on your class definitions before production begins. Every batch passes through internal and external quality checks. Errors are logged and corrected at the source.

  • Aerial image annotation is the process of labeling objects, regions, and conditions in drone and aerial imagery so machine learning models can learn to detect them. Common labels include buildings, vehicles, solar panels, crop fields, and structural damage.

  • Video annotation requires each object to keep the same identity across frames. Our teams track objects frame by frame and review continuity before delivery.

  • We accept JPEG, PNG, MP4, MKV, PCD, BIN, LAS, and LAZ. We deliver JSON, XML, YOLO, PASCAL-VOC, COCO, PNG masks, and TXT.

  • Yes. We work inside your proprietary tool or on all the leading platforms.

  • Every project follows a four-stage process of production, internal quality check, sampling and audits, and corrective action. Our benchmark is 97%+ quality, tracked daily.

  • We begin with a risk-free pilot on your data. After approval, a trained team is deployed within 24 hours.

  • Yes. We label LiDAR and elevation data and annotate across combined sensor inputs, aligned with telemetry and GPS data.

Model-generated labels still need human verification.

We audit, correct and validate auto-annotated aerial data against your guidelines before it reaches your training pipeline.
