pyOpenAnnotate is an open source Python-based annotation tool that automates the image annotation pipeline using OpenCV. It is particularly well-suited for annotating simple datasets, such as images with plain backgrounds or infrared images. pyOpenAnnotate is a single-class automated annotation tool that can help you label and annotate images and videos using computer vision techniques. It is built by harnessing the power of OpenCV. You can check out the Python library documentation to understand how pyOpenAnnotate has been designed: https://pypi.org/project/pyOpenAnnotate/.
