Tool Guide
Your task will include one or more tools. The tool provided dictates the type of annotations you will create to identify and track objects. Use the following table to learn more about each tool provided.
Tool | Icon | Action | Description |
---|---|---|---|
Bounding box |
|
Add a bounding box annotation. |
Choose this icon to add a bounding box. Each bounding box you add is associated with the category you choose from the Label category drop down menu. Select the bounding box or its associated label to adjust it. |
Predict next |
|
Predict bounding boxes in the next frame. |
Select a bounding box, and then choose this icon to predict the location of that box in the next frame. You can select the icon multiple times in a row to automatically detect the location of box in multiple frames. For example, select this icon 5 times to predict the location of a bounding box in the next 5 frames. |
Keypoint |
|
Add a keypoint annotation. |
Choose this icon to add a keypoint. Click on an object the image to place the keypoint at that location. Each keypoint you add is associated with the category you choose from the Label category drop down menu. Select a keypoint or its associated label to adjust it. |
Polyline |
|
Add a polyline annotation. |
Choose this icon to add a polyline. To add a polyline, continuously click around the object of interest to add new points. To stop drawing a polyline, select the last point that you placed a second time (this point will be green), or press Enter on your keyboard. Each point added to the polyline is connected to the previous point by a line. The polyline does not have to be closed (the start point and end point do not have to be the same) and there are no restrictions on the angles formed between lines. Each polyline you add is associated with the category you choose from the Label category drop down menu. Select the polyline or its associated label to adjust it. |
Polygon |
|
Add a polygon annotation. |
Choose this icon to add a polygon. To add a polygon, continuously click around the object of interest to add new points. To stop drawing the polygon, select the start point (this point will be green). A polygon is a closed shape defined by a series of points that you place. Each point added to the polygon is connected to the previous point by a line and there are no restrictions on the angles formed between lines. The start and end point must be the same. Each polygon you add is associated with the category you choose from the Label category drop down menu. Select the polygon or its associated label to adjust it. |
Copy to Next |
|
Copy annotations to the next frame. |
If one or more annotations are selected in the current frame, those annotations are copied to the next frame. If no annotations are selected, all annotations in the current frame will be copied to the next frame. |
Copy to All |
|
Copy annotations to all subsequent frames. |
If one or more annotations are selected in the current frame, those annotations are copied to all subsequent frames. If no annotations are selected, all annotations in the current frame will be copied to all subsequent frames. |
