DarkLabel - 비디오/이미지 객체 레이블링 툴 (Video/Image Labeling and Annotation Tool)

동영상 또는 이미지에 ID를 가진 물체 경계사각형(bounding box)를 labeling할 수 있는 유틸러티 프로그램입니다. 인터페이스 등 사용성은 어느 프로그램보다 뛰어나다고 생각합니다. 학습 데이터 생성 외에도 비디오 편집이나 이미지들을 동영상으로 합치거나 분리할 때, 개인정보 보호를 위해 사람 얼굴 등을 모자이크하는 용도로도 활용할 수 있습니다.

This is a utility program that can label object bounding boxes with ID in videos and images. Anyone can use it for non-commercial purposes. If you have any inquiry or suggestion, you can leave message below or email to darkpgmr.lee at gmail dot com.

Main Features (주요 기능 및 특징)

• Video/image object labeling & annotation tool (bounding box with ID and label)

- automatic object labeling by visual tracking (multi-target)

- semi-automatic labeling by linear interpolation

- user-configurable hotkeys and zoom in / zoom out support

- user-configurable data formats (pascal voc, darket yolo, xml/txt, any other user-defined formats)

• Video splitting (into images) & image merging (into a video file) tool
• Video cropping tool (cut and save only the selected section in the video)
• Video/image privacy masking tool (mosaic the box area in the image)
• Windows only (32/64 bits)

 

Program Configuration (프로그램 설정)

 

The program can be configured by modifying darklabel.yml attached in the zipped archive.

• define and modify data formats
• change hotkeys (frame navigation, action keys)
• change video/image export setting (video codec, frame rate, image format)
• set default save/load directory
• define class labels
• adjust GUI drawing (box width, box color, ...)

 

Basic Instruction (프로그램 사용법)

 

Arow/PgUp/PgDn/Home/End: navigate image frames

 

Mouse: Left(create box), Right(cancel the most recently created box)

Shift+Mouse: Left(modify box), Right(delete selected box/trajectory or all boxes)

Shift+DoubleClick: modify box properties (label, ID, difficulty)

 

DoubleClick: select/deselect box trajectory

*box trajectory: boxes connected across frames with the same ID and label

 

Ctrl+'+'/'-': zoom in/out

Ctrl+Arrow: scroll zoomed window

Ctrl+MouseWheel: zoom in/out

Ctrl+MouseDrag: scroll zoomed window

 

Enter or Spacebar: apply tracking (selected trajectories or newly created boxes only)

Ctrl+'s': save gt

F1: show this help

 

 

Advanced Instruction (고급 사용법)

 

• Labeling by object tracking

- By pressing 'Return' key, newly created bounding boxes in the current frame are tracked in the next frame and labeled automatically. (newly created boxes: the boxes that are created after entering the frame)

- If there are selected trajectories in the frame (object trajectory can be selected by double clicking a box), only the trajectory boxes are tracked (newly created boxes are not tracked).

- If tracking is applied to trajectories, it first deletes their tail parts (connected trajectory boxes after the current frame) and then continue the tracking, keeping their IDs and labels. This functionality can be used to correct previous wrong tracking.

- Two trackers are embeded. (developed by darkpgmr)
  . tracker1 (robust): good for deformable objects (e.g., human, ..)
  . tracker2 (accurate): good for rigid/static object (e.g., vehicle, wall, house, ...)

• Data Sampling/gathering

If you want to sample images in a video and save them (e.g. gathering training samples), draw dummy boxes on the images and then export the annotation results as images with the "no box drawing" option selected and the "labeled frames only" checked.

• Privacy Masking

draw boxes on the privacy area (e.g. human faces) and then export the annotation results with the "mosaic the box area" option selected.

• Full screen mode

do annotation in full screen mode in case the image is too large to show in your monitor (double click the title bar of image window). You also can utilize zoom in functionality.

• Don't forget to save your annotation results as often as possible. You can just press Ctrl+S.

 

Remark (2020.7.9)

 

그동안 프로그램이 이유없이 죽는다는 댓글들이 종종 있었는데, 원인을 모르다가 최근에야 UI delay를 없애기 위해 도입했던 thread 처리에 문제가 있었음을 알게 되었습니다. 이번 DarkLabel 2.0에서는 대부분  문제를 제거했지만 혹시 남은 문제가 발견되면 피드백 바랍니다.
