Labeling images with CVAT¶

In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to use the Computer Vision Annotation Tool (CVAT) in the AI4OS platform to annotate images.

Deploying CVAT¶

The CVAT tool is located at the top of the Marketplace, in the Tools section.

The workflow for deploying CVAT is similar to the one for deploying a module. In this particular case, you will need to pay attention to:

  • CVAT credentials: When configuring the deployment of CVAT, you will need to enter your CVAT username and CVAT password to authenticate yourself in the CVAT instance.

  • Storage: For using CVAT, it is mandatory to have a storage provider linked. This is because, each time you delete a CVAT instance a snapshot will automatically be created in your storage. When you deploy a new CVAT instance, you can either start from an existing snapshot or from a blank state (no snapshot).

Using CVAT¶

In the deployments list you will be able to see your newly created CVAT instance. Clicking the Quick access button, you will directly enter the CVAT UI.
