For annotations, YoloEase is able to use any server that is running CVAT. It could be official website, local instance or you can use EyeAuras CVAT instance. For this guide I'll assume that you will be using the latter.
- Register on EyeAuras CVAT Server, note - you do not have to use the same credentials as on your main EyeAuras account
- Login and make sure that CVAT is showing you the list of your projects and allows you to create one. If not - contact me.
- Go to Projects tab in the top left corner of CVAT
- Follow the guide "How to create a new project in CVAT" below and create your first project
- Login and make sure that CVAT is showing you the list of your projects and allows you to create one. If not - contact me.
- Create new project by clicking on small plus icon at the top of projects list
- In a form that will open, put in project name, then click on "Add Label" button
- Add one or more labels, which are basically objects, that you will be tracking using the model
Do not forget to click "Continue" to save the label!
- Click on Submit & Open when you're done with configuration
- That is is for CVAT, project setup is done here. YoloEase will take care of the rest.
- Start the tool
- Enter CVAT credentials. You can change CVAT server at this stage
- Click on "Login" button, wait for the system to log you in
- This is how an empty project may look like (screenshot is from early alpha, but just to give you an idea)
