Annotation Methods for Images

Hello,

I’m rather new to Tensorflow, and I was wondering what type of annotation file does Tensorflow read.
I was watching the official Tensorflow tutorial, and I can’t seem to find the annotation software he is using. Are there any recommended image annotation softwares?

Cheers

Hi @Lordeevee, In the tutorial of Object detection with Model Garden they have directly taken the annotations file. For making annotations one way is to use labelimg. First you have to clone this repository and need to run labelImg.py for making annotations. Thank you.

You can read jsons with tensorflow as well but then there are something called TF records.

Labelimg is fine and then there is a CVAT in the open source software tools if the requirement is very few images.

But in case you want to do it for double digit and also want to manage collaboration and scale then you should try explore Labellerr
