Bulk Image Classfication

Bulk Image Classification refers to the process of categorizing a large number of images into predefined classes or labels.

To get started, refer below for a quick overview of the Bulk Image Classification project creation process.

For details about the project creation process, refer to Getting Started.

Project Tasks

Tensoract Studio provides the following options to browse through the tasks:

  • Filter Tasks - You can leverage the capabililty to filter tasks based on labels and values to narrow down the results based on specific filter attributes. Following filters are available:

    1. All Fields

    2. Annotations - Count of annotations.

    3. Annotator - Name of annotator worked on the task.

    4. Consensus - Value of consensus.

    5. Final Label - Final label in task.

    6. Dataset - Name of Dataset.

    7. DatasetId - Unique id for dataset .

    8. ItemId - Unique id for each dataset item.

    9. Labels - Annotations from the Completed tasks in the project.

    10. Name - Name of the task/file.

    11. Reviewer - Name of reviewer worked on the task.

    12. State - State of the tasks such as “Unassigned”, “In Progress”,”In review” “Approved” or “Rejected”.

    13. Tags - Tags applied by Admins or Dataset Supervisors to dataset item.

    14. TaskId - Unique id of the task.

    15. Type - Type of task.

Additionally, if there is metadata associated with the tasks, it will also be available in the filters dropdown.

In addition, following options available to refine the task serach and narrow down the results based on specific attributes:

  • Sort by - Sort the filtered tasks in ascending or descending order.

  • Image Size - The image scale can be adjusted to increase or decrease the size of the image.

  • Page Size - The page size scale can be adjusted to increase or decrease the size of the page.

  • Details (Visible/Hidden) - This control allows you to hide or unhide the available details within the task.

  • Controls (Visble/Hidden) - This control is associated with Image. This control allows you to hide or unhide RGB controls within the task.

Tasks View

  1. Hover Over (5 sec) should show zoomed image of the task in iframe.

  2. Single Click is for multi-selecting tasks.

  3. Double click will open detailed view of the task.

  4. Press and Hold Ctrl key and single click will copy the TaskId of the task.

Project Actions

Project task page provides an “Action” button, featuring the following available options:

  1. Export items - Export selected items, filtered items or the entire project.

  2. Delete items - Admin can delete the tasks.

  3. Reset task - Admin can reset the tasks

  4. Add tag - Tags can be added to tasks to select specific tasks in project.

  5. Remove tag - Tags can be removed from the tasks.

Force new label - It allows admin to change the final label of a task along with providing a reason.

The action Force new label is not listed in the Actions button.

Annotators per task

The setting controls the number of Annotators per task with respect to consensus mode.

Consensus Mode

It has a choice to set project with Consensus mode or no consensus mode.

Note

  1. When No consensus mode is selected, then Disable Quality Audit option is available and it follows the one annotator and one reviewer workflow to complete the task.

  2. When Min threshold,2 reviewers is selected, then Consensus Threshold and Min Annotators for consensus options are available.

Consensus Threshold

Set Consensus Threshold percentage.

Min Annotators for consensus

Select no.of min annotators for consensus.

Number of items per bulk task

The setting controls number of items per bulk task and as per that items will be available to Annotators /Reviewers.

Dataset Reference bookmark

Create a bookmark within the dataset and set it here for annotators and reviewers to refer in the project.

To view detailed actions for the dataset, click here Dataset-Actions

Exports

This sections shows a list of exports, that can also be downloaded by users.

Note

The Exports feature is exclusively available in the Bulk Image Classification project.

Annotator View

Once logged into the studio, the annotator is presented with the task queue, which includes a list of tasks available for them to work on.

Consensus Label Distribution and Average Consesnus Distribution across all tasks

Consensus Label Distribution states the count of labels with respect to Consensus. Average Consesnus Distribution across all tasks gives calculation of the average distribution or proportion of consensus across a set of tasks.

Training Project

A Training Project refers to the process of training annotators on the specific annotation guidelines, techniques, and tools required for the project. It aims to familiarize annotators with the project objectives, data types, annotation criteria, and quality standards.
