Abstract

This paper proposes the community the development of a public web tool for fast image Ground Truth Authoring Tool (GTAT). Image ground truth authoring tools are key to generate training and validation data for image segmentation and classification systems. The paper does a short review of similar publicly available GTAT’s, its features and short-comings, in order to spot the key features missing for a public GTAT to the community. Based in the concluded wished features, we aim to develop a free and open GTAT in the future.
