چکیده

We are under the illusion that seeing is effortless, but frequently the visual system is lazy and makes us believe that we understand something when in fact we don’t. Labeling a picture forces us to become aware of the difficulties underlying scene understanding. Suddenly, the act of seeing is not effortless anymore. We have to make an effort in order to understand parts of the picture that we neglected at first glance. In this report, an expert image annotator relates her experience on segmenting and labeling tens of thousands of images. During this process, the notes she took try to highlight the difficulties encountered, the solutions adopted, and the decisions made in order to get a consistent set of annotations. Those annotations constitute the SUN database [7].

Sticky Notes: A Collaboration Tool for Distributed Protein Visualization and Annotation

We developed an annotation tool, “sticky notes,” for facilitating distributed collaboration for 3D modeling and visualization. Sticky notes are small 3D objects that coexist with and augment the host 3D objects. Sticky notes provide a convenient way for people to annotate (with both text and audio) a model. However, our note mechanisms go beyond simple passive annotation to also provide active ...
