In this article, we introduce a technique to rapidly pre-label training data for image segmentation models such that annotators no longer have to painstakingly hand-annotate every pixel of interest in an image. The approach is implemented in Python and OpenCV and extensible to any image segmentation task that aims to identify a subset of visually distinct pixels in an image.

Extracting general concepts, rather than specific phrases, from documents and contracts is challenging. It's even more complicated when applied to scanned documents containing handwritten annotations. We describe using object detection and OCR with Azure ML Package for Computer Vision and Cognitive Services API.
