svglabel

Scripts for converting annotation files between svg (e.g. generated with Gimp) and json (e.g. generated with labelme).

To save paths as svg files in Gimp:

1. Make a selection
2. Select > To Path
3. Open the Paths Dialog and rename the path to the label name
4. Right click the path -> Export Path

Setup

git clone https://github.com/Affonso-Gui/svglabel.git
sudo pip install -e svglabel/

Basic usage

cd svglabel/examples

# Convert svg to json
svg2json with-gimp.svg image.jpg

# Test with:
labelme with-gimp.json

# Convert json to svg
json2svg with-labelme.json

# Test with:
gimp image.jpg # Paths Dialog > Import Path > with-labelme.svg

Examples

Image manipulation software provides several tools to make a selection. This can be especially useful when annotating complex objects.

In the example below, an annotation file can be easily created by using the color selection tool.
