ultralytics VS label-studio

Yep, I noticed this a while ago. It posts easily identifiable ChatGPT responses. It also posts garbage wrong answers which makes it worse than useless. Totally disrespectful to the userbase.

There are obvious places it is being used that I have noticed organically. For instance, check out the answers in this repo:

If you read the answers there, the style of answering is always to repeat the question in a very specific way. Once you see it you can’t in-see it.

When browsing the state-of-the-art in object detection on Papers with Code, I found the YOLO model to be one of the most popular, accurate, and fastest. That being said, I would recommend having a look at Ultralytics, which provides the tools to evaluate, predict, and export the latest versions of YOLO models with only a few lines of code.

YOLOv8 (You Only Look Once) is an open-source Computer Vision AI model released on January 10th, 2023. It’s called YOLO because it detects everything inside an image in a single pass. The new version can perform image detection, classification, instance segmentation, tracking, and pose estimation tasks.

Next, I needed to figure out, how can I access the stream, recognize an animal, then let Max know? There are tons of examples of recognizing an object via camera frames, but I ultimately found this python library called ultralytics that supports RTSP streams and classifying objects in the video frames using pre-built models. The docs looked like it would be pretty low effort, so after some experimentation, I was successful in having the ultralytics library recognize objects from my cheap camera!

I have created an issue in their Github as well but so far not much help has been recieved. You can check that here

And the target models include: * YOLOv8 (You Only Look Once) * YOLO-NAS * YOLOv5 * and DETR

If instead you have a cohort on hand — -i.e., you do not want to send your data to a third party for any reason, or perhaps you have energetic undergrads — -then you could alternatively consider local, open-source annotation such as CVAT and Label Studio. Finally, nowadays, you might instead work with Large Multimodal Models to have them annotate your data; more on this awkward angle later.

For instance, the COCO Annotator is a web-based image annotation tool tailored for the COCO dataset format, allowing collaborative labeling with features like attribute tagging and automatic segmentation. Similarly, Label Studio offers an easy-to-use interface for bounding box object labeling in images.

Huh?

I wrote my own system for classifying a stream of texts in Python, I might Open Source it one of these days but I have to get it to the point where it is modular enough that I can customize it to do the particular things I want without subjecting people to my whims... I use it every day and I'm not afraid to demo it because it is rock solid.

My understanding is that my system would not be hard to adapt to work on images for certain kinds of tasks.

Pytorch is open source, Huggingface is open source. CUDA isn't. This is

and for annotating text spans there are so many open source tools

I worked for a company a few years back that built annotation tools for projects we sold to customers but never quite got to a polished general purpose annotator. Today there are an overwhelming number of companies in this space and products I never heard of, many of which are cloud based or paid. Looks like a gold rush to me.

LabelStudio is free for single use. https://labelstud.io/

LabelStudio is pretty nice, and free & open source, but I have yet to try out their ML integration with a YOLO object detection model.

Label Studio is an open source data labeling tool that includes annotation functionality. It provides a simple user interface (UI) that lets you label various data types, including text, audio, time series data, videos, and images, and export the information to various model formats.
