List of manual image annotation tools

Manual image annotation is the process of manually defining regions in an image and creating a textual description of those regions. Such annotations can for instance be used to train machine learning algorithms for computer vision applications.

This is a list of computer software which can be used for manual annotation of images.

Computer Vision Annotation Tool (CVAT) Computer Vision Annotation Tool (CVAT) is a free, open source, web-based annotation tool which helps to label video and images for computer vision algorithms. CVAT has many powerful features: interpolation of bounding boxes between key frames, automatic annotation using TensorFlow OD API and deep learning models in Intel OpenVINO IR format, shortcuts for most of critical actions, dashboard with a list of annotation tasks, LDAP and basic authorizations, etc. It was created for and used by a professional data annotation team. UX and UI were optimized especially for computer vision annotation tasks. JavaScript, HTML, CSS, Python, Django MIT License [1][2][3]
