Annotate. Train. Evaluate. A Unified Tool for the Analysis and Visualization of Workflows in Machine Learning Applied to Object Detection

摘要

The development of classifiers for object detection in images is a complex task that comprises the creation of representative and potentially large datasets from a target object by repetitive and time-consuming intellectual annotations, followed by a sequence of methods to train, evaluate and optimize the generated classifier. This is conventionally achieved by the usage and combination of many different tools. Here, we present a holistic approach to this scenario by providing a unified tool that covers the single development stages in one solution to facilitate the development process. We prove this concept by the example of creating a face detection classifier.
