Abstract

Obtaining large quantities of labeled data of sufficient quality is non-trivial, especially when expert knowledge is required. Experts are scarce and expensive, while laymen lack the necessary knowledge to perform the task. In this demo paper, we present an image labeling tool Fish4label. By carefully converting an object recognition task to a visual similarity comparison task, our tool enables laymen to identify fish species in images extracted from video footage taken by underwater cameras, a task that typically requires profound domain knowledge in marine biology.
