Configure the labels and the annotation tool

Taxonomy

Define your lists of labels

You can create Main lists and Child lists.

A Main list will be shown for every annotation whereas a Child list will be shown after a label is selected if it is attached to it.

The first list you create is a Main list by default. This status can be changed later on.

image
  • List name: identify the list in the exports
  • Placeholder: text showed before any label is selected
  • Required: if enabled, an annotation must have a label from this list to be valid
  • Multiple: if enabled, an annotation can have multiple labels from this list
  • Min/Max number: if Multiple is enabled, define the amount of labels an annotation can have. Leave empty for no restriction.

  • Name: the display value of the label
  • ID: identify the label in the exports

After the label creation, you can set its Color and change its Display name. If you do the latter, it will change the name annotators will see but won’t affect the name in the exports.

Attach a child list to labels

image

There are two ways to attach a list :

  • Click on the button at the end of a label’s line to attach a list to it
  • Click on the Manage child lists button (top right) to attach a list to selected or all labels

Graph

If your project is of type Graph, this is where you can define the points and how they are linked.

On the left section, you can add points and set their name, color and order.

To link two points, click on the “Create link” button of the first one then on the “Link to” button of the second one.

The links are shown on the right section.

Annotation tool options

Sequence

Enable the ability to annotate multiple images

Default: false

Minimum number of annotations

You can specify a minimum number of annotations. If this number is not reached, the task can't be validated.

Leave this field empty if you don't want to set any limitation.

Default: empty

Maximum number of annotations

You can specify a maximum number of annotations. If this number is exceeded, the task can't be validated.

Leave this field empty if you don't want to set any limitation.

Default: empty

Annotation overlap

Specify if you want to allow a user to draw a rectangle or a polygon over another.

Default: false

Minimum area

You can specify a minimum size for a polygon or a rectangle by setting a minimum area in px2

Leave this field empty if you don't want to set any limitation.

Default: empty

Outside drawing

Allow the annotator to draw outside the image. This means that you can get vertices lower than 0 or greater than 1.

It is useful when you want the annotator to guess an invisible part of an object.

Default: false

Multi-polygons

Enable the ability to create several polygons or rectangles in one annotation.

Default: false

Sequence propagation

Enable the propagation of an annotation accross a sequence of images.

Option available only if the Sequence option is set to true

Default: true

Auto select

Enable the automatic selection of the annotation after its creation.

Default: false

Text transcription

Specify if the annotations contain text that needs to be transcripted.

Default: false

This button opens the annotation tool, allowing you to test your labels and settings.

After validating the task, you are also able to download a JSON export sample.
