Rainer Simon<p>Not huge news I guess, but might be useful to some <a href="https://vis.social/tags/Annotorious" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Annotorious</span></a> users: a plugin for drawing lines and polylines with (optinally) bezier curves!

Rainer Simon<p>And another one! ✂️ A smart selection tool powered by the "Intelligent Scissors" algorithm from OpenCV.js. This should make complex polygon annotation a breeze! Coming to <a href="https://vis.social/tags/IMMARKUS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>IMMARKUS</span></a> (very) soon. <a href="https://vis.social/tags/ImageAnnotation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ImageAnnotation</span></a> <a href="https://vis.social/tags/IIIF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>IIIF</span></a></p>
Rainer Simon<p>I'm excited! This time, it's not just a prototype: AI-powered selection tools are *actually* coming to <a href="https://vis.social/tags/IMMARKUS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>IMMARKUS</span></a> as a feature – thanks to the great team of the <a href="https://vis.social/tags/MARKUS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MARKUS</span></a> project. <a href="https://vis.social/tags/DigitalHumanities" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DigitalHumanities</span></a> <a href="https://vis.social/tags/IIIF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>IIIF</span></a> <a href="https://vis.social/tags/ImageAnnotation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ImageAnnotation</span></a> <a href="https://vis.social/tags/Annotorious" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Annotorious</span></a></p>

Harald Klinke<p>Google's ImageInWords (IIW) is a framework for creating hyper-detailed image descriptions. The process starts with object detectors and a Vision-Language Model (VLM) generating initial captions, which are then refined by human annotators. This results in a high-quality dataset of 9018 images with detailed descriptions, improving AI training for image generation and classification.</p><p><a href="https://google.github.io/imageinwords/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">google.github.io/imageinwords/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a><br><a href="https://det.social/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> <a href="https://det.social/tags/MachineLearning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MachineLearning</span></a> <a href="https://det.social/tags/ImageAnnotation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ImageAnnotation</span></a> <a href="https://det.social/tags/ComputerVision" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ComputerVision</span></a> <a href="https://det.social/tags/AIResearch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AIResearch</span></a></p>
