The published low and high price for that label type gets multiplied by the label count. Another review adds 20 to 50 percent, while a US team costs two to four times the outside-US range.
Prices for image tags come from Kili Technology for the low end and BasicAI for the high end.
Prices for bounding boxes come from Label Your Data for the low end and Habile Data for the high end.
Prices for polygons come from AnnotationBox for the low end and Habile Data for the high end.
Prices for keypoints come from Label Your Data for the low end and Habile Data for the high end.
Prices for pixel masks come from Habile Data for the low end and GDS Online for the high end.
Masking takes the most time
Segmenting a complex street scene properly can take 45 to 90 minutes; boxes on the same image take 2 to 4 minutes.
