ðūAnnotation of Bitmap object
Icon | Action | Description |
---|---|---|
Transfers to the previous keyframe | If the keyframe is missing before the current keyframe, the icon is not highlighted | |
Not a keyframe
Keyframe | Indicates whether the current frame is a keyframe or not | |
Delete the keyframe | Deletes the keyframe | |
Transfer to the next keyframe | Moves to the next keyframe. If there is no next keyframe, the icon is not highlighted. | |
Delete the object completely | Deletes the annotation completely | |
The object is not visible from here onwards | Hides the object on the current and subsequent frames. Upon clicking "LEAVE NEXT KEYFRAMES" all the object instances will be hidden up to the next keyframe. To remove the object mask from the current keyframe to the end of the file - select "DELETE NEXT KEYFRAMES", to undo the action you should press "CANCEL" | |
The object is visible from here onwards | Enables the hidden object on the current and subsequent frames. | |
Bind | Binds objects to each other, in the pattern Parent > Child | |
Redraw | Redraws an existing object | |
Change the Stacking order | Changes the order in which objects are displayed if their annotation boundaries are overlapped: Bring to front; Send to back; Place in front of object; Place behind object A detailed application of the Stacking order can be found here | |
Change the type | Changes the type (class) of the annotated object | |
Merge | The function merges two objects by taking all instances of one up to the current frame and all instances of the other from the current frame onwards and joining them into one. | |
Split | The function allows you to split an object in the current frame, making the selected object invisible from the current frame onwards, while creating a new object that takes up all instances that have been removed from the selected object | |
Add Lasso | This function adds Lasso - adds a mask over the Lasso outline | |
Subtract Lasso | This function subtracts the Lasso - removes the mask over the Lasso outline | |
Add brush | This tool enables the user to create and modify a mask. The user has the option to select the brush shape, either circle or square, and adjust the brush size using the scroll function ("[" to decrease, "]" to increase) in 1-pixel increments. To draw a straight line, the user can click where the line starts and then press Ctrl while clicking where the line ends. This combination can be used to draw multiple segments of straight lines. | |
Erase | This tool enables the user to delete pixels from the mask. | |
Add auto-selection | This function adds Auto Selection to reduce the time it takes for operators to draw object contours using this tool. | |
Substract auto-selection | This function subtracts Auto Selection. This function is provided to reduce the operator's time for drawing the object contours with this tool. | |
Add AI annotation | Segmenting images can be a complex task, but with the AI Annotation: Segment Anything feature it can be done in just a few clicks. This algorithm is specifically designed to segment objects in images. When you select function the AI Annotation: Segment Anything in the configuration window, you will gain access to several tools for adding points. These include Foreground points, Background points, and Containing Box, which can all be used to help you achieve the perfect segmentation. | |
Subtract AI annotation | You can use this tool to remove the annotation from a selected area. | |
Move | This function allows you to drag (move) the mask | |
Spot healing | During annotation, use the object editing tools to remove holes, islands, or both artefacts. Adjust the spot size threshold with scrolling. | |
Edge smoothing | A tool to smooth distorted annotation edges. Adjust scroll sensitivity for clarity. |
You can adjust the line accuracy of this drawing with the "Sensitivity" slider.
If you need to annotate a single solid object in a file, you can take advantage of the Auto-Select feature. Simply select the object, click on the "Add Auto-Selection" button, and put a dot over the object. You can fine-tune the accuracy of the selection by adjusting the Sensitivity and then clicking "Apply". If the tool detects and highlights similar pixels outside of the object you want to annotate, you can use the Subtract Auto-Selection tool. Just put a dot over the excessive pixels and adjust the Sensitivity threshold to remove them.
When using the Spot Healing tool, you have the option to adjust the settings to suit your requirements. You can choose to remove holes (absent pixels within the object's mask), remove islands (excessive pixels outside the mask), or both. Additionally, you can modify the tool's sensitivity by dragging the threshold slider.
