Dataset Annotation

AI-assisted dataset creation for training custom detection models. Supports three annotation methods with COCO format export.

What You Get

  • BBox annotation — draw bounding boxes, AI auto-suggests
  • SAM2 annotation — click to segment, get pixel-perfect masks
  • DINOv3 annotation — click a patch, find similar objects across frames via visual grounding
  • Object tracking — annotate keyframes, DINOv3 interpolates across the video
  • COCO export — standard images[], annotations[], categories[] format
  • Kaggle/HuggingFace upload — push datasets directly to platforms

Annotation Loop

1. Feed frames from clips → auto-detect objects
2. Human reviews → corrects bboxes, adds labels
3. Save as COCO dataset
4. Train improved model
5. Repeat with better auto-detection

Protocol

Aegis → Skill (stdin)
