Meet AI Detect: Automatic object tagging on your images

When you’re managing aerial data, marking up areas of interest can be slow and repetitive. Whether you’re reviewing a drone flight or a set of ground-based images, it often means clicking through photo after photo to label objects one by one.

‍

With AI Detect, that process gets a whole lot easier. Instead of manually drawing boxes around everything, you can simply click on an object to detect and tag it automatically, or type in the object you’re looking for (like “vehicle” or “bolt”) and let the AI find instances across the image for you. The result? Faster, more consistent tagging—without the heavy manual lift.

‍

What is AI Detect?

AI Detect is Birdi’s new object detection tool. Using advanced AI models, it scans your drone and ground-based images, creating tags (bounding boxes with labels) wherever objects are detected. You’re in control of how it works—either by clicking on an item to tag it automatically or by typing in an object name to search and detect it across the image.
