A tool for rapidly associating spatial and textual information with large numbers of images.

Current capabilities:

• Toolsets geared for extremely rapid image annotation. Users report speeds of up to ~1,000 images annotated per hour for simple tasks and ~200 image per hour for complex tasks
• Spatial annotation of bounding boxes, bounding circles, lines, and points
• Text annotation of entire image or individual spatial markers
• Complete customizability of keyboard inputs
• Currently only available for Windows 10-11

Things I developed this software for:

• Annotation of 510,000 insect bounding boxes for computer vision training
• Labeling of 8,600 milkweed flowers with age classifications
• Measuring of 17,500 scale bars for standardizing herbivory analyses

A tool for annototating insect images with taxonomic identified from the GBIF taxonomic backbone.

Current capabilities:

• Bulk annotation of images with taxonomic data.
• Sorting and filtering of images by pre-assigned labels. Images can be searched by taxonomic name and filtered to specific identified taxonomic levels
• Direct linkage to the GBIF taxonomic backbone. The program includes a local copy of the backbone, which can be searched to apply specific names to images
• Currently only available for Windows 10-11
