Labelme Starter Guide
Get started building your own data and AI.
What is Labelme?
Labelme enables humans to teach a computer about an image using various forms of annotation, including shapes (such as polygons, rectangles, lines, and points), labels, groups, text descriptions, and combinations thereof. This human annotation allows a computer to acquire the intelligence necessary to accomplish a task that humans would like a computer to perform as artificial intelligence (AI).

Private and flexible
Modern AI models require lots of human-annotated data for its development. However, you often cannot adopt the image annotation tools in the market, which are Web/cloud-based and has privacy concerns. Labelme provides flexible and powerful image annotation capability that includes various shapes (polygon, box, points), AI-assisted annotation, etc, while keeping privacy in mind.
