Tracking and Saving on linux #199

Open gurkirt opened 6 years ago

gurkirt commented 6 years ago

Hello,

Thanks for the great work.

I am trying to use this tool for annotating video objects on Linux. I installed latest nodejs and npm on ubuntu16. Cloned git repo and from the root of repo I ran npm install and npm start. All goes well and I am able to load a video and tag the bounding boxes.

The only problem I have is that tracking is not enabled and I can not save the tag. Both save and toggle tracking buttons are disabled. This happens in both cases when SCD is enabled or disabled.

Is it a platform issue or am I doing something wrong?

Also, I did not do the following thing.

Installing CNTK with the FRCNN Prerequisites for Reviewing Model Please note that installation of CNTK and FASTER-RCNN dependencies are optional for tagging and are only required for CNTK model review and training.

Install CNTK (Note: currently the tool only supports the full installation method (non pip) of CNTK).

Follow the setup instructions of the CNTK Faster-RCNN tutorial (Note: Faster-RCNN currently only supports Linux python version 3.4 and not 3.5).

Configure CNTK-Config.json (which resides in the '\resources\app' directory of the tagging tool) with the following properties to enable the model review feature:

{ "cntkPath" : "{CNTK Path default is c:/local/cntk}", }

I only want tracking to be enabled.

There is no change even after doing the above steps. Thanks Gurkirt

Tracking is independent of the model review step. It seems it's possible you found a bug since the behavior you are expierencing should not be happening.

Can you send me the ou put of the console from the developer settings menu. Also can you elaborate on what it means to "be unable to save a tag"

Does this mean that the tag is not present on export, or does it mean that the tag doesn't show up when you return to the frame?

@aribornstein Thanks a lot for your response. really appreciated. I was trying to use tracking on the directory, I suppose that is not available but it works fine on videos. Regarding the 'saving' comments. I didn't notice .json file that program creates. So this is fine too.

However, when I use to 'copy from' previous frame feature it shifts the boxes to the right on every frame. Is it intentional or a bug?
