Abstract
An approach is provided for presenting an annotation task. The approach involves, for example, selecting a designated number of one or more points in an image. The approach also involves providing data for presenting a user interface indicating the one or more points in the image comprising the designated number. The user interface provides at least one user interface element for annotating one or more objects in the image corresponding to the designated number of the one or more points during an annotation session. The approach further involves initiating an end of the annotation session based on determining that the one or more objects in the image have been annotated. The approach further involves storing the annotated one or more objects.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method for presenting an image annotation task comprising:
- selecting a designated number of one or more points in an image;
- providing data for presenting a user interface indicating the one or more points in the image comprising the designated number, wherein the user interface provides at least one user interface element for annotating one or more objects in the image corresponding to the designated number of the one or more points during an annotation session;
- initiating an end of the annotation session based on determining that the one or more objects in the image have been annotated;
- and
- storing the annotated one or more objects.
An apparatus for presenting an annotation task, comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory including computer program code for one or more programs,
- the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following,
- select a designated number of one or more points in an observation instance;
- provide data for presenting a user interface indicating the one or more points in the observation instance comprising the designated number, wherein the user interface provides at least one user interface element for annotating one or more objects in the observation instance corresponding to the designated number of the one or more points during an annotation session;
- and
- initiate an end of the annotation session based on determining that the one or more objects in the observation instance has been annotated.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium for presenting an annotation task, carrying one or more sequences of one or more instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, cause an apparatus to at least perform the following steps:
- determining an observation instance comprising one or more points, wherein one or more objects in the observation instance corresponding to the one or more points are to be annotated;
- iteratively selecting a designated number of the one or more points for presentation in an annotation user interface across one or more annotation sessions, wherein the designated number is constant across the one or more annotation sessions;
- and
- initiate an end of the one or more annotation sessions based on determining that the one or more objects in the one or more annotation sessions have been annotated.
