Abstract

A method of image annotation includes obtaining a candidate annotation map for an annotation task for an image from each of a set of annotation models wherein each of the candidate annotation maps includes suggested annotations for the image, receiving user selections or modifications of at least one of the suggested annotations from one or more of the candidate annotation maps, and generating a final annotation map based on the user selections or modifications from the one or more of the candidate annotation maps.

Claims (43)

1 . A method of image annotation comprising:

obtaining a candidate annotation map for an annotation task for an image from each of a plurality of annotation models wherein each of the candidate annotation maps comprises suggested annotations for the image;

receiving, by a processing device, user selections or modifications of at least one of the suggested annotations from one or more of the candidate annotation maps; and

generating, by the processing device, a final annotation map based on the user selections or modifications from the one or more of the candidate annotation maps.

2 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

providing the final annotation map as additional training data to update at least one of the plurality of annotation models.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the annotation task comprises identifying and marking locations within the image.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the annotation task comprises identifying and marking skin wrinkles within the image.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein each of the candidate annotation maps comprises a plurality of categories of suggested annotations.

6 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

selecting a first candidate annotation map;

displaying, the first candidate annotation map comprising suggested annotation via a user interface of a client device; and

receiving user selections or modifications of at least one of the suggested annotations.

7 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the user interface comprises at least one adjustable parameter associated with an annotation model corresponding to the first candidate annotation map.

8 . A system comprising:

a memory; and

a processing device, operatively coupled to the memory, to:

obtain a candidate annotation map for an annotation task for an image from each of a plurality of annotation models wherein each of the candidate annotation maps comprises suggested annotations for the image;

receive user selections or modifications of at least one of the suggested annotations from one or more of the candidate annotation maps; and

generate a final annotation map based on the user selections or modifications from the one or more of the candidate annotation maps.

9 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the processing device is further to:

provide the final annotation map as additional training data to update at least one of the plurality of annotation models.

10 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the annotation task comprises identifying and marking locations within the image.

11 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the annotation task comprises identifying and marking skin wrinkles within the image.

12 . The system of claim 8 , wherein each of the candidate annotation maps comprises a plurality of categories of suggested annotations.

13 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the processing device is further to:

select a first candidate annotation map;

display, the first candidate annotation map comprising suggested annotation via a user interface of a client device; and

receive user selections or modifications of at least one of the suggested annotations.

14 . The system of claim 13 , wherein the user interface comprises at least one adjustable parameter associated with an annotation model corresponding to the first candidate annotation map.

15 . A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a processing device, cause the processing device to:

obtain a candidate annotation map for an annotation task for an image from each of a plurality of annotation models wherein each of the candidate annotation maps comprises suggested annotations for the image;

receive, by the processing device, user selections or modifications of at least one of the suggested annotations from one or more of the candidate annotation maps; and

generate, by the processing device, a final annotation map based on the user selections or modifications from the one or more of the candidate annotation maps.

16 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the processing device is further to:

provide the final annotation map as additional training data to update at least one of the plurality of annotation models.

17 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the annotation task comprises identifying and marking locations within the image.

18 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the annotation task comprises identifying and marking skin wrinkles within the image.

19 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein each of the candidate annotation maps comprises a plurality of categories of suggested annotations.

20 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the processing device is further to:

select a first candidate annotation map;

display, the first candidate annotation map comprising suggested annotation via a user interface of a client device; and

receive user selections or modifications of at least one of the suggested annotations.
