Search by Filename, Folder Name, and Annotator 

You can put Ctrl + F away for good.  Search for any item within a dataset in the Data page. No matter the size, you'll be able to retrieve any file within million-image datasets.

TIP:  Shift + Click  to add multiple options in your search query.

Everything is in Real-time

We want your data to feel alive. Statuses, assignments, quantities, datasets, now all update in real-time across your team.

This gives us the chance to bring even more collaborative features to V7, both for data scientists and annotators. Watch this space :)

Auto Annotate 5

We're on the 5th version of Auto-Annotate! Other than improving in overall performance, it can now be tweaked to create less-fine outputs.

That's right. You can make Auto-Annotate look as if it's polygon was made by a human.

Select a value of fine-ness between 1 and 5 and start labelling! Note that less-fine polygons are also more performant, in case you are labelling long videos with many polygons.

‍
