vatic.js A pure Javascript video annotation tool

  1. To start a new video annotation, select a frames zip archive:

    Note: Keep the focus on the browser during the entire extraction process, or frames might be skipped.

  2. Optional: Resume an existing annotation with a vatic compatible XML annotation file:

  3. Manually annotate the frame sequence:

    To create a new bounding box, first click 'n' (for new), and then left click on two locations in the video corresponding to the corners of the box.

    When a fish moves only slightly for several frames mark it as a "stationary fish" with the checkbox below and only edit the boxes around it only when they turn red. If it begins to move again, un-mark the checkbox and continue annotation normally.

    Tip: Use the spacebar to play/pause the video, and the left and right arrows to navigate frame by frame.

    Tip: The visibility of each object can be toggled with its visiblity checkbox under the video.

    Tip: Zoom in with your browser to place the bounding boxes more accurately.
