ULabel
A browser-based tool for annotating images.
Usage
ULabel is an entirely "frontend" tool. It can be incorporated into any HTML page using either the unpkg cdn
<script src="https://unpkg.com/ulabel/dist/ulabel.js"></script>Or you can use npm to install it and serve the dist/ulabel.js file from node_modules locally.
npm install ulabel<script src="/node_modules/ulabel/dist/ulabel.js"></script>An API spec can be found here, but as a brief overview: Once the script is included in your HTML doc, you can create a ULabel annotation session as follows.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script src="https://unpkg.com/ulabel/dist/ulabel.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="ulabel-container" style="height: 800px; width: 1200px; position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0;"></div>
<script>
// Specify destination
let container_id = "ulabel-container";
// Configure the annotation session
let classes = ["Class 1", "Class 2"];
let allowed_modes = ["polygon", "bbox", "contour"];
let username = "demo_user";
let image_url = "https://tinyurl.com/y6mxeuxs";
// Specify submit behavior
let on_submit = async (annotations) => {
// Download annotations as a json file
let el = document.createElement('a');
el.setAttribute("href", 'data:text/plain;charset=utf-8,' + encodeURIComponent(JSON.stringify(annotations, null, 2)));
el.setAttribute("download", "annotations.json");
el.style.display = 'none';
document.body.appendChild(el);
el.click();
document.body.removeChild(el);
return true;
};
let subtasks = {
"first_task": {
"display_name": "Task 1",
"classes": [
{"name": "Class 1", "color": "blue", "id": 10},
{"name": "Class 2", "color": "pink", "id": 11},
],
"allowed_modes": ["contour", "polygon"],
"resume_from": null,
"task_meta": null,
"annotation_meta": null
},
"second_task": {
"display_name": "Task 2",
"classes": [
{"name": "Class 2", "color": "pink", "id": 11},
{"name": "Class 3", "color": "green", "id": 12},
],
"allowed_modes": ["bbox", "polygon", "tbar"],
"resume_from": null,
"task_meta": null,
"annotation_meta": null,
"read_only": true
}
};
// Build and initialize the toollet ulabel = new ULabel(
let ulabel = new ULabel(container_id, image_url, username, on_submit, subtasks);
ulabel.init(function() {
console.log("ULabel is now ready");
});
</script>
</body>
</html>Development
The recommended way to develop new features is to use the tool as if you were running the demo. For testing new API features, you can create a new HTML file in demo/. The server in demo.js runs a static server from demo/ so it will be served at localhost:8080/<new-file>.html automatically.
Requirements
Install Dependencies
npm installDevelopment Usage
You should now be able to run the launcher from the repository root.
pwd # Should be /path/to/ulabel
node demo.jsBuild
The repository ships with the built dist/ulabel.js file. This file is not to be edited directly. Edits should be made in the src/ dir and the package is built with
npm run buildAttribution
The three demo images were downloaded from the CityScapes dataset. In particular, they are sampled from the first few frames of the leftImg8bit_demoVideo.
