Auto-Annotate

Auto-Annotate - Automatically annotate your entire image directory by a single command. As simple as saying - "Annotate all the street sign (label) in the autonomous car dataset (directory)" and BAM! DONE. Each and every image with a street sign in the diverse dataset directory containing images of all sorts which have a street sign are filtered and the segmentation annotation is performed in a single command. The Auto-Annotate tool provides auto annotation of segmentation masks for the objects in the images inside some directory based on the labels. Auto-Annotate is able to provide automated annotations for the labels defined in the COCO Dataset and also supports Custom Labels.
