Introduction
Computer Vision Annotation Tool (CVAT) is an annotation platform for machine learning projects.
One can add their own models for CVAT to perform annotation of their images.
For further documentation see this page.
Tasks
The tasks page contains elements and each of them relates to a separate task. They are sorted in creation order. Each element contains: task name, preview, progress bar, button Open, and menu Actions. Each button is responsible for a in menu Actions specific function:
-
Export task dataset — download annotations or annotations and images in a specific format. More information is available in the export/import datasets section.
-
Upload annotation upload annotations in a specific format. More information is available in the export/import datasets section.
-
Automatic Annotation — automatic annotation with OpenVINO toolkit. Presence depends on how you build the CVAT instance.
-
Backup task — make a backup of this task into a zip archive. Read more in the backup section.
-
Move to project — Moving a task to a project (you can move only a task which does not belong to any project). In case of label mismatch, you can create or delete necessary labels in the project/task. Some task labels can be matched with the target project labels.
-
Delete — delete task.
In the upper left corner there is a search bar, using which you can find the task by assignee, task name etc. In the upper right corner there are sorting, quick filters and filter.
Jobs
On the jobs page, users (for example, with the worker role) can see the jobs that are assigned to them without having access to the task page, as well as track progress, sort and apply filters to the job list.
On the job page there is a list of jobs presented in the form of tiles, where each tile is one job. Each element contains:
- job ID
- dimension 2D or 3D
- preview
- stage and state
- when hovering over an element, you can see:
- size
- assignee
- menu to navigate to a task, project, or bug tracker.
To open the job in a new tab, click on the job by holding Ctrl.
