  • Cuboid annotation

    Cuboid annotation

    Addressing https://github.com/opencv/cvat/issues/147

    Cuboid Annotation:

    Description

    This PR adds fully functional cuboid annotation within CVAT. The cuboid are fully integrated within CVAT and support regular features from other shapes such as copy-pasting, labels, etc.

    Usage

    Cuboid are created just like bounding boxes, simply select the cuboid shape in the UI and create. The cuboids may be edited by dragging certain edges, points or faces. Editing is constrained by a two point perspective model, that is, non-vertical edges all converge on either one of two vanishing points.

    You may see these vanishing points in action by checking cuboid projection lines checkbox in the bottom left of the player.

    Annotation dump

    Points in the dump are ordered by vertical edges, starting with the leftmost edge and moving in counter clockwise order. The first point of each edge is always the top one.

    For example, the first point would be the top point of the leftmost edge and the second point would be the bottom point of the leftmost edge and the third point would be the top point of the edge in the front of the cuboid.

    Known issues

    • Currently, this build only supports dumping and uploading in cvat-xml format.
    • The copy-paste buffer cuboid is just a polyline, but is still usable

    The cuboids have been developed with the feedback of an in-house annotation team. This feature is fully functional but of course any feedback and or comment is appreciated!

    Adding Kuberenetes templates and deployment guide

    Motivation and context

    The topic was raised a couple of times in issues like #1087 . Since kubernetes is widely use easy deployment into the kubernetes environment would provide great value to the community and help to get cvat to a wider audience.

    Special due to changes like #1641 its now way easier to deploy cvat in a k8s environment.

    How has this been tested?

    I deployed this in a couple of namespaces with in our cluster (with and without nvida gpu). Furthermore i did not do any changes to the code, therefore the only real issue was networking. Since i was following the docker-compose.yml closely there where no real challges

  • Tracking functionality for bounding boxes

    Tracking functionality for bounding boxes

    Hi, We are adding several features into CVAT and will be open-sourced. We might need your advice along the way, just wanted to know if you can help. Currently, we are trying to change the interpolation. As of now, interpolation just puts bounding box in the remaining frames at the same position as it is in the first frame. We are trying to change that and add tracking there. Since the code base is huge I am unable to understand the exact flow of process.

    For now, say instead of constant coordinates I want to shift box to right a little bit (i.e 10 pixels). I guess its trivial task. Just need your help regarding the same, if possible. Thanks

  • YoloV7 serverless detector feature for auto annotation

    YoloV7 serverless detector feature for auto annotation

    Motivation and context

    Integration of YOLOv7 as a serverless nuclio function that can be used for auto-labeling. YoloV7 is the SOTA at the time of this PR therefore it would make sense to support it in CVAT. The integration is quite simple into CVAT as docker based on Ultralytics YoloV5 with coco pretrained model (https://github.com/WongKinYiu/yolov7) and a docker image (https://hub.docker.com/r/ultralytics/yolov5).

    related issue: #5548

    How has this been tested?

    Automatic annotation was run using YOLOv7 on a custom dataset. The serverless function was deployed using

    nuctl deploy --project-name cvat \
      --path serverless/onnx/WongKinYiu/yolov7/nuclio \
      --volume `pwd`/serverless/common:/opt/nuclio/common \
      --platform local
    

    Then using the 'Automatic annotation' action the function was tested and the auto-generated labels were controlled to check that no coordinates misfit is happening.

    Use custom model:

    1. Export your model with NMS for image resolution of 640x640 (preferable).
    2. Copy your custom model yolov7-custom.onnx to /serverless/common
    3. Modify function.yaml file according to your labels.
    4. Modify model_handler.py as follow:
     self.model_path = "yolov7-custom.onnx"
