Cvat: Keypoint Annotation

Created on 20 Jul 2018 · 7Comments · Source: openvinotoolkit/cvat

I wanted to ask about the keypoint annotation feature you are workig on now. Would that have standard configuration/format like keypoints for annotating human pose? Would it have the same interpolation feature as the current bounding boxes? Finally when would the feature be released? Do you have specific date in mind? Thank you

Hi @moiseevigor ,

Could you please submit a separate issue about features which you want to have in CVAT regarding keypoints? We want to support COCO format in the nearest feature. I'm not sure about skeleton yet because we don't have many such tasks internally yet. If you can help to describe features which you want to get or even send us a PR it will be helpful.

Hello, thanks for you question!

Now we are debugging and testing this feature and it is mostly ready. You will be able to choose "points" instead of "bbox" (also "polygon" and "polyline" will be supported as well) and create an array of points by clicks on an image. The feature will support the fixed order of points. It also may contain only one point. One label will correspond to one array (as in bbox case). Of course, you will be able to edit (drag and resize) all new shapes.
Points, polygons and polylines will not support interpolation between frames, but you will be able to merge them into a track across multiple frames.
We hope to release these features at the end of September but it isn't possible to promise for sure.

@bsekachev Really nice feature you mentioned.

polygons and polylines will not support interpolation between frames

Is there chance to get interpolation between frames too. I understand limitations but for simple shapes like car tire static number of points can be used and interpolated between keyframes.

Done in develop branch. Documentation will be updated lately.

@nmanovic Sorry for commenting on the closed issue, but cannot find any reference for the implementation of keypoints annotation in CVAT. As I understood the points is an answer, but do you have any plans to make it compatible with a COCO format for keypoint names and "skeleton"?
