ViewCOCO GUI

The ViewCOCO GUI is another GUI application stored under the ./debug directory that allows users to view COCO datasets as they are stored. This is useful for determining whether a specific dataset contains valid data among many other things.

Below I will be explaining how the ViewCOCO GUI works and how to get the most out of it while viewing your COCO datasets.

Anatomy of the ViewCOCO GUI

The ViewCOCO GUI has many buttons, most of which are not self-explanatory, therefore below I will address each button and their function in the GUI accordingly.

Left Button Panel

The left side button panel include buttons used for navigating through images in the current dataset, and an open dataset button that allows users to select a new dataset they may like to open. This side panel also includes labels for the bar chart.

Right Button Panel

The right side button panel includes buttons used for correcting segmentation errors, these are useful for identifying and changing segments that were given the wrong category ID at the creation of the dataset. The navigation buttons on the right side are used to navigate through the segments in the current image, highlighting the currently selected segment green in the process. Once a segment is green, its category ID can be changed through the use of the small numpad, each number on the numpad corresponds with a category ID and its respective color.

Bottom Button Panel

The bottom panel includes a few labels that help identify important pieces of data from the current dataset. It also includes a delete button, the delete button is used to delete an images segments from the dataset, it has a confirm pop up that will ask the user to confirm their choice to delete the data beforehand.
