Getting Started with VGG Image Annotator for Object Detection Tutorial

The VGG Image Annotator is a free, open-source tool developed by researchers at Oxford University for annotating images and videos to create datasets for computer vision models. This lightweight tool can be run entirely in a web browser, allowing users to draw bounding boxes or polygons around objects and facilitating collaboration in large-scale labeling projects. The tutorial provides a step-by-step guide on how to start a project, load images, label them, assign class labels, and export the annotations as a CSV file. Additionally, it highlights Roboflow's capabilities for converting VGG annotations into over 30 different computer vision formats, enhancing the ease and efficiency of managing datasets.
