When building an Object Detection model, do you have any specific tools or recommendations on how to best annotate objects? There are a lot of tools out there, but they often feel cumbersome to use in comparison to the ease of Create ML.
Check out
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/createml/building-an-object-detector-data-source
for documentation on how to structure annotated data for object detection. Apple doesn't have a tool we can provide to create the annotations, and I agree it can be a bit of a cumbersome process. Hope that helps!
Some options suggested by non-Apple developers:
- Roboflow - though if their public plan doesn’t work for you, then it is quite expensive
- Label Studio - it’s open source
- CVAT - there is a hosted, free version available at cvat.org, but you can self-host
