annotation tool

An annotation tool is a software application or interface designed to label, tag, and mark up raw data, such as images, videos, text, or audio, to produce structured datasets for training, validating, and evaluating machine learning models. In data preparation and computer vision workflows, these tools provide interactive graphical environments that allow human annotators and automated systems to delineate objects, assign categorical classifications, trace polygonal segmentation boundaries, and position bounding boxes or keypoints. By converting unstructured inputs into standardized ground-truth representations, annotation tools enable supervised learning algorithms to recognize visual or semantic patterns and support collaborative dataset development and quality control.
