CVAT – Computer Vision Annotation Tool

What it does

CVAT contains powerful features which are often reserved for closed-source, proprietary, systems. Designed for ease-of–use, it is recognized in the AI industry as one of the fastest and most usable tools for data annotation. 1M+ downloads and counting.

Turn raw images, videos, and 3D data into model-ready datasets with CVAT. Use AI-assisted annotation, quality control, analytics, collaboration tools, APIs, and expert labeling services.

CVAT helped me build an AI-powered inventory counting solution for warehouse operations. The annotation workflow was efficient, and it made it much easier to create high-quality training data for accurate object detection and counting. We selected CVAT after evaluating several options and determined it was the best fit for our instance segmentation workflows. Features such as automatic bordering and bitmap visualization help us improve annotation quality while maintaining high productivity. SIYTE is an AI-powered intelligence platform connecting cameras, sensors and systems with CVAT playing an instrumental role in supporting our data annotation and model training function.

  Pipes puzzle (a.k.a. Net) on a hexagonal grid▲537

  Hello, HN - I wanted to share this puzzle game I made during my vacation. I'm rather fond of the pipes puzzle where your goal is to restore a scrambled network of connections by rotating tiles. It's usually played on a grid of squares and this all started when I decided to make a programmatic solver for that kind of puzzle. Then I realized that with some minor changes the solver could generate new puzzle instances. I thought about what kind of puzzle to make and someone suggested a hexagonal grid. Adapting the generator wasn't too hard but then I had to create a way to play this variant. So…
