AnnotatingData < LCI

---++ Using Annotation GUI
---+++ Directory Structure for Data
Training data and annotations are organized as follows-
   * *training_data* node is the ROS node which is supposed to contain all the training data.
   * Folder training_data/preTrainData contains data collected for pre-training phase.
   * This folder should have these 5 sub-folders-
      * Annotations (can be a soft link to another drive e.g., /mnt/theakston/srvcData09/Annotations) 
      * Images (can be a soft link to another drive e.g., /mnt/theakston/srvcData09/data/Images)
      * tmp
      * DPMcache
      * ImageSets   (this folder stores files with list of training/test images)

---+++ Running Annotator
   * Annotator can be launched using the command- $roslaunch DPM Annotation.launch
   * User is prompted to enter a number between 0 and 9 to choose the category to annotate
   * Once the GUI is visible. Go- File>open and choose the directory where data is stored
   * Draw a bounding box by click and drag, press save and next(this actually saves the file)
   * To Annotate multiple objects in the same image, press save after drawing a box and then draw another bounding box.
