Annotation Tool for Computer Vision Datasets

Annotex 🚀

AI-Powered Annotation Tool for Computer Vision Datasets

Annotex is a professional-grade annotation tool designed for creating high-quality computer vision datasets. With AI-powered assistance and an intuitive interface, it streamlines the annotation process for machine learning practitioners.

✨ Features

🎯 Professional Annotation Tools

• Rectangle Annotation - Precise bounding box creation
• AI-Assisted Annotation - Auto-annotation with pre-trained YOLO models
• Batch Processing - Process multiple images simultaneously

🔧 Advanced Workflow

• Project Management - Save/load projects (.anno format)
• Class Management - Dynamic class creation with custom colors
• Export Formats - YOLO11, YOLOv8, compatible
• Quality Control - Confidence scoring and validation

🚀 Performance Optimized

• Memory Efficient - Handles large datasets smoothly
• Real-time Preview - Instant annotation feedback
• Keyboard Shortcuts - Professional workflow acceleration

📦 Installation

Quick Install

pip install annotex

🚀 Quick Start

Launch Annotex

# Start the GUI
annotex

# Or
python -m annotex.main

# Load a project
annotex --project my_project.anno

# Load images from directory
annotex --images /path/to/images

Basic Workflow

1. Load Images - Import your image dataset
2. Create Classes - Define annotation classes
3. Annotate - Create bounding boxes manually or with AI
4. Export - Generate YOLO-format dataset

🎨 Interface Overview

Main Components

• Tools Panel - Annotation tools and class management
• Image Viewer - Zoomable canvas with annotation overlay
• Image List - Project image management
• Export Panel - Dataset export configuration

Advanced Features

• Semi-Automated Annotation - Pre-trained AI model integration
• Batch Processing - Multi-image operations
• Quality Metrics - Annotation statistics and validation
• Custom Export - Flexible dataset formats (Currently:only YOLO formats)

🤖 AI Integration

Supported Models

• YOLO11 - Proven performance
• Custom Models - Load your own trained models

Auto-Annotation Workflow

1. Load pre-trained model (.pt file)
2. Set confidence threshold
3. Run individual or batch annotation
4. Review and refine results
5. Export final dataset

Possible Usage: Pre-train your AI model on a small dataset and use that model to annotate the rest of the dataset.
