TagLab: an image segmentation tool oriented to marine data analysis

Overview

TagLab: an image segmentation tool oriented to marine data analysis

TagLab was created to support the activity of annotation and extraction of statistical data from ortho-maps of benthic communities. The tool includes different types of CNN-based segmentation networks specially trained for agnostic (relative only to contours) or semantic (also related to species) recognition of corals. TagLab is an ongoing project of the Visual Computing Lab http://vcg.isti.cnr.it/.

ScreenShot

Interaction

TagLab allows to :

  • zoom and navigate a large map using (zoom/mouse wheel, pan/'Move' tool selected + left button). With every other tool selected the pan is activated with ctrl + left button
  • segment coral instances in a semi-automatic way by simply clicks at the corals' extremes. This is achieved using the Deep Extreme Cut network fine-tuned on coral images. Deep Extreme Cut original code : https://github.com/scaelles/DEXTR-PyTorch/
  • assign a class with the 'Assign class' tool. Area and perimeter are now displayed in the segmentation info panel on the right
  • simultaneously turn off the visibility of one or more classes, (ctrl + left button/disable all but the selected, shift + left button, inverse operation), change the class transparency using the above slider
  • perform boolean operations between existing labels (right button to open the menu)
  • refine the incorrect borders automatically with the Refine operation or manually with the 'Edit Border' tool
  • tracking coral changes in different time intervals
  • import depth information of the seafloor
  • import GeoTiff
  • draw coral internal cracks with the 'Create Crack' tool
  • make freehand measurements or measure the distance between centroids (Ruler tool).
  • save the annotations (as polygons) and import them into a new project
  • export a CSV file table containing the data of each coral colony
  • export a JPG file of a black background with totally opaque labels
  • export shapefiles
  • export a new dataset and train your network (!)

We are working hard to create a web site with detailed instructions about TagLab. Stay tuned(!)

Supported Platforms and Requirements

TagLab runs on Linux, Windows, and MacOS. To run TagLab, the main requirement is just Python 3.6.x or 3.7.x.

GPU accelerated computations are not supported on MacOS and on any machine that has not an NVIDIA graphics card. To use them, you'll need to install the NVIDIA CUDA Toolkit, versions 9.2, 10.1 or 10.2 are supported. If you don't have a NVida graphics card (or if you use MacOS), CPU will be used.

Installing TagLab

Step 0: Dependencies

Before installing TagLab, be sure to have installed Python 3.6.x or 3.7.x, and NVIDIA CUDA Toolkit if it is supported. You can check if they are properly installed by running the following commands in a shell (bash on Linux, poweshell on Windows):

python3 --version
nvcc --version

If python and cuda are properly installed, both commands will print their versions.

Under Linux, if you don't use the APT package manager (not ubuntu or debian derived distros), be sure to install the gdal library manually (the command gdal-config --version should output the gdal library version). Under MacOS, if you don't use HomeBrew package manager, be sure to install the gdal library manually (the command gdal-config --version should output the gdal library version).

Under MacOS and Linux, also cmake and a C++ compiler must be installed.

Step 1: Clone the repository

Just click on the "Clone or Download" button at the top of this page and unzip the whole package in a folder of your choice.

Step 2: Install all the dependencies

Then, open a shell (not python prompt!), change directory to the TagLab main directory and run:

python3 install.py

or, on Windows:

python.exe install.py

The script will automatically install the remaining libraries required by TagLab and download the network weights. If NVIDIA CUDA Toolkit is not supported by your machine, the script will ask to install the cpu version. You can bypass this step and force to install the cpu version directly by running

python3 install.py cpu

or, on Windows:

python.exe install.py cpu

Step 3: Run

Just start TagLab.py from a command shell or your preferred Python IDE.

From a command shell simply write:

python3 taglab.py

or, on Windows:

python.exe taglab.py

To test if TagLab works correctly, try to open the sample project available in the projects folder.

Updating TagLab

If you already installed TagLab and you need to update to a new version, you can just run the update.py script:

python3 update.py

or, on Windows:

python.exe update.py

The script will automatically update TagLab to the newest version available in this repository.

Updating from 0.2

If you are updating TagLab from 0.2 version, in order to download also the new networks, please run the update.py script twice:

python3 update.py
python3 update.py

    Windows DLL Load Failure

    I am trying to run TagLab on a brand new installation of Windows 10 running Python 3.7.9 and CUDA 10.2. I have tried removing an reinstalling all packages to no avail. Install.py runs fine. When running TagLab.py I get:

    Traceback (most recent call last): File "TagLab.py", line 34, in from PyQt5.QtCore import Qt, QSize, QMargins, QDir, QPoint, QPointF, QRectF, QTimer, pyqtSlot, pyqtSignal, QSettings, QFileInfo, QModelIndex ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.

    I have tried separately install PyQt5 and have tried version 5.15.7 as well as 5.15.6. I can find the .dll files for PyQt5 and have added their location to my PCs path, but I still get the DLL load failure.

    Error with requirement wheel

    Hi! I'm working on some intertidal/underwater imagery at Universite Laval and have been having issues getting TagLab to run.

I'm wondering if it's a problem with my own system because I also have Python 3.8.5 installed but have Python 3.7.5 installed over it in a virtual environment and am running install.py with python3.7 install.py I just thought I would reach out and see if you guys had any insights to what was happening, thanks!

    Issues with Shapely? I got you.

    If you run into an issue with Shapely after downloading and installing all of the requirements, uninstall the version of Shapely that you installed with the other packages using pip. Then install it with conda instead. If everything else installed correctly, you should be good.

  • install script on M1 Mac hangups

    install script on M1 Mac hangups

    Just got through the install script on an M1 Macbook and had to manually install a few of the items, as well as run in rosetta. The most glaring problem I ran into was line 232 of the install script...

    # torch and torchvision subprocess.check_call([sys.executable, "-m", "pip", "install", torch_package, torchvision_package, 'torch_extra_argument1', 'torch_extra_argument2'])

    I got an invalid argument '' error during the install. So I guess these variables aren't being assigned values for me. Since the M1 requires running the install in cpu mode I copy pasted the following parameters in place of the torch_extra_argument variables and finally got through this line.

    "--extra-index-url", "https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cpu"

    4-click and Positive/Negative segmentation not working since v2022.02.24

    After updating from TagLab v2022.02.13 to TagLab v2022.02.24 the click based segmentation stopped working. GUI still switches between tools but no segmentation is performed. Also tested with currently latest version TagLab v2022.02.25, with same behaviour. Fixed by just rolling back to the previously working version.

    Please let me know if you need more build/system info.

  • Error importing label images

    Error importing label images

    Before using TagLab we were manually tracing colonies using photoshop. I was testing importing these label images into TagLab so we don’t have to redo the work that we have already done, and possibly use these to create the training set for our monitoring sites. I have tried exporting the image labels as both png and jpg but the program crashes with error:

  • GUI not recognizing mouse

    GUI not recognizing mouse

    Hello. I'm a coral ecologist at the Hawaii Institute of Marine Biology trying out the TagLab project. I have managed to install the everything on my Mac, and it runs. However:

    1. the GUI doesn't appear until I do something with the file menu (like "Load Map"); and
    2. once the GUI appears I can click between text inputs, but I can't click buttons (e.g., "Cancel"), so I'm kind of stuck...

    Notes: I have python 3.7.7 installed. In addition to your installation instructions, I had to install "albumentations" and a (seemingly known) Qt issue preventing the GUI to start meant that I had to take "opencv-python" back to version 4.1.2.30.
