Binary label choice

[Liontooth]

Hi --

Is it possible to set up LabelMe to give the user a binary choice of labels? For instance, present an image and prompt "Male" and "Female", and allow the user to press a key to select one of them, and automatically forward to the next image.

LabelMe looks great for visual object labeling; we would also like fast and simple categorization.

Cheers, David

Hi David,

At the moment, we don't have the functionality that you've described. The closest thing is to add "&objects=Male,Female" to the annotation tool URL. This will add "Male" and "Female" to a drop-down menu inside the popup bubble after a user annotates a polygon.

How about a palette of common labels (perhaps defined within the collection) , with hot-keys to switch between them; One of them is the 'current label', much like a colour from a palette (infact color-coding them would make sense)

• think of the FPS style 'workflow' where you keep one hand on the keyboard and one on the mouse (e.g. imagine "[", "]" selecting next/previous common labels from the palette.. see the pixel-editing workflow in the old program 'd-paint'). then you wouldn't need to alternate between spatial manipulation and the edit-dialogue.

examples,

'city collections' would have building, car, pedestrian, tree, window, lamppost 'office collections' would have desk, chair,person, book,door,computer, shelf

... and so on..
