Quick Annotation Tool

Create ground-truth segmentation masks for training machine learning models. Paint annotations directly on your images using brush and eraser tools.

The Quick Annotation Tool provides a browser-based painting interface for creating segmentation masks on TIFF image stacks. These annotations serve as ground truth for training U-Net segmentation models.

Key Features

  • Multi-class support with color-coded labels

  • Brush and eraser tools with adjustable size

  • Full undo/redo history for each slice

  • Autosave to prevent data loss

  • Resume unfinished work or edit existing annotations

Workflow

  1. Select Source Image: Choose a TIFF stack to annotate

  2. Annotate: Paint labels on each slice using the brush tool

  3. Save: Create a final annotation file or save progress for later

The resulting annotation file can be used directly with the U-Net Segmentation module for training.
