Abstract:

Large labeled data sets are one of the essential basics of modern deep learning techniques. Therefore, there is an increasing need for tools that allow to label large amounts of data as intuitively as possible. In this paper, we introduce SALT, a tool to semi-automatically annotate RGB-D video sequences to generate 3D bounding boxes for full six Degrees of Freedom (DoF) object poses, as well as pixel-level instance segmentation masks for both RGB and depth. Besides bounding box propagation through various interpolation techniques, as well as algorithmically guided instance segmentation, our pipeline also provides built-in pre-processing functionalities to facilitate the data set creation process. By making full use of SALT, annotation time can be reduced by a factor of up to 33.95 for bounding box creation and 8.55 for RGB segmentation without compromising the quality of the automatically generated ground truth.
