Product Introduction

LabelU is a comprehensive data annotation platform designed for handling multimodal data. It offers a range of advanced annotation tools and efficient workflows, making it easier for users to tackle annotation tasks involving images, videos, and audio. LabelU is tailored to meet the demands of complex data analysis and model training.

Key Features

Versatile Image Annotation Tools

LabelU provides a comprehensive set of tools for image annotation, including 2D bounding boxes, semantic segmentation, polylines, and keypoints. These tools can flexibly address a variety of image processing tasks, such as object detection, scene analysis, image recognition, and machine translation, helping users efficiently identify, annotate, and analyze images.

Powerful Video Annotation Capabilities

In the realm of video annotation, LabelU showcases impressive processing capabilities, supporting video segmentation, video classification, and video information extraction. It is highly suitable for applications such as video retrieval, video summarization, and action recognition, enabling users to easily handle long-duration videos, accurately extract key information, and support complex scene analysis, providing high-quality annotated data for subsequent model training.

Efficient Audio Annotation Tools

Audio annotation tools are another key feature of LabelU. These tools possess efficient and precise audio analysis capabilities, supporting audio segmentation, audio classification, and audio information extraction. By visualizing complex sound information, LabelU simplifies the audio data processing workflow, aiding in the development of more accurate models.

Artificial Intelligence Assisted Labelling

LabelU supports one-click loading of pre-annotated data, which can be refined and adjusted according to actual needs. This feature improves the efficiency and accuracy of annotation.
