Custom image processing solutions: the Vention way
Accurate and precise image recognition predictions are the result of our well-calibrated approach.
Needs elicitation
We start by thoroughly analyzing your needs, expectations, processes, and context to identify the best ways to leverage image recognition technology.
Results:
-
Outline of the challenges the future software will solve
-
A list of desired outcomes and success criteria
Analysis of available data
We examine your data closely, assessing whether it's sufficient and good enough to train the model.
If needed, we invest time and effort in creating a data set for training, sourcing, labeling, and anonymizing the required data.
Results:
-
A high-quality dataset for model training and validation
Model selection
We analyze multiple options to decide what’s best for your case — machine learning or deep learning, and which specific algorithm or model to apply.
Next, we decide on the model’s architecture. For example, if a CNN is chosen, how many layers should it have to produce the desired result?
Results:
-
The initial version of the chosen model, ready for training
Model training
We use 80 percent of the dataset to train the chosen model, feeding it data and monitoring how well it performs — determining accuracy and error rate — and making adjustments to improve prediction accuracy if needed.
Results:
-
Trained model
-
Detailed log of training
Model evaluation
Once the model performs well on the training data, we check it on the validation data — the remaining 20 percent of the data set.
If the model doesn’t perform as expected, we apply various techniques, from rechecking the dataset quality to adjusting the model’s hyperparameters, and continue until the performance meets our standards.
Results:
-
Evaluation report featuring achieved KPIs
Model deployment
The validated model is ready to work with real-world data. So, we connect it with data sources, integrate it with the needed systems, and set it live.
Results:
-
Deployed model
-
Clear documentation explaining its intended use, parameters, principles of work, and limitations
Model monitoring
A model performing well today doesn’t guarantee its effectiveness forever.
We recommend implementing monitoring tools to continuously track the model’s performance and prevent degradation. As new data becomes available, it may be beneficial to retrain the model to maintain or enhance performance.
Results:
- Monitoring tools and metrics

Common image recognition challenges and how we solve them
Trust us: We’ve faced every glitch and hurdle in image recognition, and we’re ready to solve them all.
Creation of labeled data set for computer vision model training
Image recognition solutions rely on a well-labeled training dataset to produce accurate results. However, extensive, high-quality open-source training data is unavailable in many domains.
Preparing this data requires significant effort to label each image (e.g., identifying one image as showing pneumonia and another as healthy lungs). Beyond time investment, this task demands expertise, particularly when data anonymization is necessary.
At Vention, we take great care to ensure proper data anonymization. Additionally, we can enhance publicly available datasets by modifying images — such as rotating or resizing them — to increase the number of data samples.
Ensuring quality of captured images
The quality of captured images may not always be optimal. It’s essential to create favorable conditions for high-quality photography, such as good lighting and the use of high-resolution cameras. On the tech side, we apply various image preprocessing techniques like noise reduction, normalization, and contrast enhancement to improve image quality.
Handling occlusion in images
When multiple objects occlude an image, we advise taking several photos from different angles to minimize this issue.
We also analyze the possibility of occlusion during the planning stage. If the risk is high, we extend the training data set to include the images with occlusions, training the artificial intelligence model to recognize the objects based on their visible parts.
Hear from our expert
In today’s fast-paced world, image recognition systems are under unprecedented pressure to deliver instant responses.
The traditional challenges of obtaining high-quality training data and reducing model bias are still critical — now accompanied by the need for robust computational resources for advanced algorithms to meet stringent latency demands.
