Identifying Key Challenges in Visual Content Workflow Automation

The client faces labor-intensive tasks in collecting, analyzing, and storing large volumes of visual data, including selection, formatting, labeling, and unifying images into a centralized repository. Manual processes are time-consuming, disorganized, and hinder quick decision-making, which affects content quality and operational efficiency.

About the Client

A mid to large-sized online media company specializing in visual content, such as images and videos, aimed at providing inspiration and expert tips within a specific niche market.

Goals and Expected Outcomes of the Image Content Automation Project

Automate detection, analysis, and labeling of large image datasets to reduce manual effort.
Achieve high accuracy in image labeling, aiming for at least 96% model precision.
Implement a system capable of processing up to 3,250 images per hour.
Consolidate all visual data into a unified, dynamically updated storage repository.
Enhance data accessibility through a user-friendly filtering and retrieval interface.
Introduce functionalities such as similarity search (“Lookalike”) to improve image selection and curation.
