VoTT (Visual Object Tagging Tool) is a free and open source Electron app for image annotation and labeling developed by Microsoft.[1] The software is written in the TypeScript programming language and used for building end-to-end object detection models from image and videos assets for computer vision algorithms.[2]
Overview
VoTT is a React+Redux web application that requires Node.js and npm.[3] It is available as a stand-alone web application and can be used in any modern web browser.[4]
Notable features include the ability to label images or video frames,[2] support for importing data from local or cloud storage providers,[3] and support for exporting labeled data to local or cloud storage providers.
Labeled assets can be exported into the following formats:
- Comma-separated values (CSV)
- Microsoft Azure Custom Vision Service
- Microsoft Cognitive Toolkit (CNTK)
- TensorFlow (Pascal VOC and TFRecords)[2]
- VoTT (generic JSON schema)[5]
The VoTT source code is licensed under MIT License and available on GitHub.[6]
