Feedback-driven object detection and iterative model improvement

  • 用户手动修正标注后生成新模型快照,用于后续图像的半自动检测。
  • 半自动标注可节省最高53%时间,且准确率不降反升。
  • 适合需要快速构建高质量检测数据集的研究者与开发者。

自动化目标检测在各类应用中愈发重要,但高效高质量的标注仍是难题。本文提出并评估了一个交互式平台,支持图像上传、标注及模型微调。用户可手动审查并优化标注,生成改进后的模型快照,用于后续图像的自动检测,即半自动标注,显著提升效率。尽管迭代优化模型以加速标注已成常态,但本文首次定量评估其在时间、人力与交互成本上的收益。实验表明,半自动标注相比手动标注最多可减少53%时间,且标注质量不降反升,甚至部分超过人工标注。结果证明该轻量级标注平台在构建高质量目标检测数据集方面的潜力,并为未来平台开发提供最佳实践。平台开源,前端与后端代码均在GitHub可获取。为帮助理解标注流程,我们还制作了演示视频,以大肠杆菌显微图像为例展示方法。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Automated object detection has become increasingly valuable across diverse applications, yet efficient, high-quality annotation remains a persistent challenge. In this paper, we present the development and evaluation of a platform designed to interactively improve object detection models. The platform allows uploading and annotating images as well as fine-tuning object detection models. Users can then manually review and refine annotations, further creating improved snapshots that are used for automatic object detection on subsequent image uploads - a process we refer to as semi-automatic annotation resulting in a significant gain in annotation efficiency. Whereas iterative refinement of model results to speed up annotation has become common practice, we are the first to quantitatively evaluate its benefits with respect to time, effort, and interaction savings. Our experimental results show clear evidence for a significant time reduction of up to 53% for semi-automatic compared to manual annotation. Importantly, these efficiency gains did not compromise annotation quality, while matching or occasionally even exceeding the accuracy of manual annotations. These findings demonstrate the potential of our lightweight annotation platform for creating high-quality object detection datasets and provide best practices to guide future development of annotation platforms. The platform is open-source, with the frontend and backend repositories available on GitHub. To support the understanding of our labeling process, we have created an explanatory video demonstrating the methodology using microscopy images of E. coli bacteria as an example.
