Roboflow

Roboflow is a comprehensive computer vision platform for developers and enterprises to build, train, and deploy vision applications. It provides end-to-end tooling for creating datasets, annotating data with AI-assisted labeling, training models with multiple sizes, and deploying inference via hosted APIs or edge devices. The platform is used by a wide range of industries and emphasizes scalable infrastructure, analytics, and collaboration to accelerate vision projects from prototyping to production.

How Roboflow Works

1. Create and curate datasets. Import, organize, and annotate images; generate augmented variants to improve model generalization.
2. Annotate efficiently. Utilize AI-assisted labeling tools to speed up labeling, review, and consensus building.
3. Train models. Choose from multiple model sizes and training options; compare performance and identify data gaps.
4. Deploy your model. Run models on Roboflow Inference (hosted API) or deploy to the edge; test with real-time or video/image data.
5. Monitor and iterate. View metrics like inference volume, confidence, and per-prediction results to guide data collection and model improvements.

Roboflow integrates with popular data sources, annotation formats, and deployment targets, enabling seamless pipelines from data preparation to production inference.
