If you haven’t heard of the Universal Data Tool, it’s an open-source web or desktop program to collaborate, build and edit text, image, video, and audio datasets with labels and annotations. You can get started with the Universal Data Tool

This is our second community update! We’re hoping by releasing these we can better engage the community and encourage new contributors. Let’s get started…

New Feature: Collapsible Sidebar

All Image Segmentation views now have a collapsible sidebar with expendable options. Now you can use the entire screen for segmentation if needed by just clicking on the arrow on the right side of the screen. It should help to clear the UI and be beneficial when used on smaller screens.

New Feature: Convert Image Samples into any number of segments

Now there is no limit to convert image samples into segments as opposed to earlier 5x5 limits. Also, there is an improvement to how we zoom in on segments when you have a sample split up in segments. It will now automatically zoom in on the segment that’s allowed to be annotated in every sample.

That’s it for our second community update, be sure to follow us on Twitter, or join our Slack to hear more!
