Working with Frames

View and edit SingleFrames in the Dataset page. After selecting a Dataset version, the Version Browser shows a sample of frames and enables viewing SingleFrames and FramesGroups, and edit SingleFrames, in the frame viewer. Before opening the frame viewer, you can filter the frames by applying simple or advanced filtering logic.

Frame viewer

Frame viewer allows you to view and edit annotations which can be FrameGroup objects (Regions of Interest) and FrameGroup labels applied to the entire frame not a region of the frame, the frame details (see frames), frame metadata, the raw data source URI, as well as providing navigation and viewing tools.

Frame viewer controls

Use frame viewer controls to navigate between frames in a Dataset Version, and control frame changes and viewing.

Control Icon	Actions
	Jump backwards (CTRL + Left). Jumps backwards by five frames.
	Go to the previous frame containing a non-filtered annotation. The filter is the minimum confidence level setting. If the confidence level filter is set to zero, any frame containing annotations matches the filter.
	Go to the previous frame (Left Arrow).
	Go to the next frame (Right Arrow).
	Go to the next frame containing a non-filtered annotation (same filter as ).
	Jump forwards (CTRL + Right). Jumps 5 frames forwards.
	Reload the frame.
	Undo changes.
	Redo changes.

Viewing and editing frames

To view / edit a frame in the frame editor

1. Locate your frame by applying a simple frame filter or advanced frame filter, and clicking LOAD MORE, if required.
2. Click the frame thumbnail. The frame editor appears.
3. Do any of the following:
   • View frame details, including:
     • Frame file path
     • Dimensions of the image or video
     • Frame details
     • Frame metadata
     • Annotations
       • Frame objects - Labeled Regions of Interest, with confidence levels and custom metadata per frame object.
       • Frame labels - Labels applied to the entire frame, not a region in the frame.
   • Optionally, filter annotations by confidence level using the Minimum confidence slider.
   • Add, change, and delete annotations and frame metadata.

:::important To save frames changes at any time, click SAVE (below the annotation list area). :::

Viewing FrameGroups

Viewing and editing frames in a FrameGroup is similar to viewing and editing SingleFrames. Click the FrameGroup in the Dataset. In the frame viewer, select SingleFrame to view / modify from a dropdown list in the Current Source section.

Filtering frames

Simple frame filtering

Simple frame filtering applies one annotation object (ROI) label and returns frames containing at least one annotation with that label.

To apply a simple frame filter:

• In the Version Browser, choose a label on the label list.

For example:

• Before filtering, the Version Browser in the image below contains seven frames.

View a screenshot

• A simple label filter for person shows three frames with each containing at least one ROI labeled person.

Advanced frame filtering

Advanced frame filtering applies sophisticated filtering logic, which is composed of as many frame filters as needed, where each frame filter can be a combination of ROI, frame, and source rules.

• ROI rules use include and exclude logic to match frames by ROI label; an ROI label can match frames containing at least one annotation object (ROI) with all labels in the rule.
• Frame rules and source rules use Lucene queries with AND, OR, and NOT logic. Frame rules apply to frame metadata.
• Source rules apply to frame source information.

To apply advanced filters:

1. In the Version Browser, click Switch to advanced filters.

2. In a FRAME FILTER, create one of the following rules:

   • ROI rule

     • Choose Include or Exclude, select ROI labels, and optionally set the confidence level range.

     • To switch from the ROI dropdown list to a Lucene query mode, click .

   • Frame rule - Enter a Lucene query using frame metadata fields in the format meta.<key>:<value>.

   • Source rule - Enter a Lucene query using frame metadata fields in the format sources.<key>:<value>.

Examples

ROI rules

• Create one ROI rule for person shows the same three frames as the simple frame filter (above).

• In the ROI rule, add a second label. Add partially_occluded. Only frames containing at least one ROI labeled as both person and partially_occluded match the filter.

By opening a frame in the frame viewer, you can see an ROI labeled with both.

Frame rules

Filter by metadata using Lucene queries.

• Add a frame rule to filter by the metadata key dangerous for the value of no.

  By opening a frame in the frame viewer, you can see the metadata.

Source rules

Filter by sources using Lucene queries.

• Add a source rule to filter for sources URIs with a wildcards.

Use Lucene queries in ROI label filters and frame rules.

Annotations

Frame objects (Regions of Interest)

You can add annotations by drawing new bounding areas, and copying existing annotations in the same or other frames.

To draw a bounding area for a new annotation:

1. Optionally, select a default label in the Default ROI Label(s) list. New annotations are automatically assigned this label.

2. Click one of the following modes and create a bounding area in the frame:

   • - Rectangle mode: Drag a rectangle onto the frame.

   • - Ellipse mode: Drag an ellipse onto the frame.

   • - Polygon mode: Click the polygon vertices onto the frame.

   • - Key points mode: Click each keypoint onto the frame. After the clicking the last keypoint, click the first again to close the bounding area.

   A new annotation is created.

3. In the newly created annotation, select or type a label.

4. Optionally, add metadata. This is metadata for the annotation, not the entire frame.

5. Optionally, lock the annotation.

6. If you move to another frame, the frame editor automatically saves changes. Otherwise, if you exit the frame editor, you are prompted to save.

To copy an annotation:

1. Click the annotation or bounded area in the image or video clip.
2. Optionally, navigate to a different frame.
3. Click PASTE. The new annotation appears in the same location as the one you copied.
4. Optionally, to paste the same annotation, click PASTE again in the desired frame.

To copy all annotations:

1. Click COPY ALL.
2. Optionally, navigate to a different frame.
3. Click PASTE.

Frame labels

To add frame labels:

1. Expand the FRAME LABELS area.
2. Click + Add new.
3. Enter a label.
4. Optionally, click .

Annotation management

To move annotations:

• Move a bounded area by clicking on it and dragging.

To resize annotations:

• Resize a bounded area by clicking on a vertex and dragging.

To modify annotation metadata:

• In the label, click edit and then in the popup modify the metadata dictionary (in JSON format).

To modify annotation colors:

• Modify the color of an area by clicking the circle in the label name and select a new color.

To lock annotations:

• All annotations - Above the annotations, click the lock / unlock.
• A specific annotation - In an annotation, click the lock / unlock.

To delete annotations:

1. Click the annotation or bounded area in the image or video clip.
2. Press the DELETE key, or in the annotation, click X.

To add, change, or delete labels to annotations labels:

• Add - Click in the annotation and choose a label from the label list, or type a new label.
• Change - In the annotation label textbox, choose a label from the list or type a new label.
• Delete - In the annotation, in the label area, click the label's X.

Frame metadata

To edit frame metadata:

• Expand the FRAME METADATA area, click edit, and then in the popup modify the metadata dictionary (in JSON format).
