System and method for automated content labeling

A method comprising:

• registering, by use of a data processor, a plurality of labelers to which annotation tasks are assigned;
• populating, by use of the data processor, a labeling queue with content data to be annotated;
• assigning, by use of the data processor, annotation tasks from the labeling queue to the plurality of labelers, the annotation tasks having associated datasets representing sets of content data to be annotated by the plurality of labelers;
• prompting each of the plurality of labelers to begin processing through the datasets and apply labels to objects identified in the content data;
• and
• providing, by use of the data processor, a segmentation tool enabling the plurality of labelers to configure a size of a segment cluster in an image of the content data, and select each segment cluster to be included in a segmentation feature with a specified object class, the segment clusters including similarly colored pixels from the image.

A non-transitory machine-useable storage medium embodying instructions which, when executed by a machine, cause the machine to:

• register, by use of a data processor, a plurality of labelers to which annotation tasks are assigned;
• populate, by use of the data processor, a labeling queue with content data to be annotated;
• assign, by use of the data processor, annotation tasks from the labeling queue to the plurality of labelers, the annotation tasks having associated datasets representing sets of content data to be annotated by the plurality of labelers;
• prompt each of the plurality of labelers to begin processing through the datasets and apply labels to objects identified in the content data;
• and
• provide a segmentation tool enabling the plurality of labelers to configure a size of a segment cluster in an image of the content data, and select each segment cluster to be included in a segmentation feature with a specified object class, the segment clusters including similarly colored pixels from the image.
