List of manual image annotation tools
open-in-new
<p> Manual image annotation is the process of manually defining regions in an image and creating a textual description of those regions. Such annotations can for instance be used to train <a href="/facts/Machine_learning/e0w0XJTu">machine learning</a> algorithms for <a href="/facts/Computer_vision/Tl2Yyk66">computer vision</a> applications. </p><p>This is a list of computer <a href="/facts/Software/RP79lVSW">software</a> which can be used for manual annotation of images. </p> <table><tbody><tr><th>Software</th><th>Description</th><th>Platform</th><th>License</th><th>References</th></tr><tr><td><a href="/facts/Computer_Vision_Annotation_Tool/Gb2rv0ys">Computer Vision Annotation Tool</a> (CVAT)</td><td>Computer Vision Annotation Tool (CVAT) is an open source, web-based annotation tool which helps to label video and images for computer vision algorithms. CVAT has many powerful features: interpolation of bounding boxes between key frames, automatic annotation using TensorFlow OD API and deep learning models in Intel OpenVINO IR format, shortcuts for most of critical actions, dashboard with a list of annotation tasks, LDAP and basic authorizations, etc. It was created for and used by a professional data annotation team. UX and UI were optimized especially for computer vision annotation tasks.</td><td>JavaScript, HTML, CSS, Python, Django</td><td><a href="/facts/MIT_License/8llAQtlk">MIT License</a></td><td></td></tr><tr><td><a href="/facts/LabelMe/7QUugKBy">LabelMe</a></td><td>Online annotation tool to build image databases for computer vision research.</td><td>Perl, JavaScript, HTML, CSS</td><td><a href="/facts/MIT_License/8llAQtlk">MIT License</a></td><td></td></tr><tr><td><a href="/facts/TagLab/cLBcgTUe">TagLab</a></td><td>Desktop open source interactive software system for facilitating the precise annotation of benthic species in orthophoto of the bottom of the sea.</td><td>Python </td><td><a href="/facts/GNU_General_Public_License/S75KhLSX">GPL</a></td><td> </td></tr><tr><td><a href="/facts/VoTT/8MfsTcyV">VoTT</a> (Visual Object Tagging Tool)</td><td>Free and open source <a href="/facts/Electron_(software_framework)/15eHlAWQ">electron app</a> for image annotation and labeling developed by <a href="/facts/Microsoft/nGIDDXdx">Microsoft</a>.</td><td><a href="/facts/TypeScript/W9J27V1N">TypeScript</a>/<a href="/facts/Electron_(software_framework)/15eHlAWQ">Electron</a> (<a href="/facts/Windows/bwhAhuSL">Windows</a>, <a href="/facts/Linux/9FvCKSTq">Linux</a>, <a href="/facts/MacOS/Y93vVpTm">macOS</a>)</td><td><a href="/facts/MIT_License/8llAQtlk">MIT License</a></td><td></td></tr></tbody></table>
