makesense.ai is a free to use online tool for labelling photos. Thanks to the use of a browser it does not require any complicated installation - just visit the website and you are ready to go. It also doesn't matter which operating system you're running on - we do our best to be truly cross-platform. It is perfect for small computer vision deeplearning projects, making the process of preparing a dataset much easier and faster. Prepared labels can be downloaded in one of multiple supported formats. The application was written in TypeScript and is based on React/Redux duo.
For AI to be free we need not just Open Source, but also a strong Open Data movement.

Schema:
label_index rel_rect_center_x rel_rect_center_y rel_rect_width rel_rect_height
Where:
label_index - index of the selected label
rel_rect_center_x - horizontal position of the centre of the rect in relation to overall image width, value between [0, 1]
rel_rect_center_y - vertical position of the centre of the rect in relation to overall image height, value between [0, 1]
rel_rect_width - rect width in relation to overall image width, value between [0, 1]
rel_rect_height - rect height in relation to overall image height, value between [0, 1]

We don't store your images, because we don't send them anywhere in the first place.
Our application is being actively developed. If you have an idea for a new functionality, please hit us on Twitter and Gitter or create an issue where you can describe your concept. In the meantime, see what improvements we are planning for you in the future.
