Computer Vision Annotation Tool (CVAT)
CVAT is free, online, interactive video and image annotation tool for computer vision. It is being used by our team to annotate million of objects with different properties. Many UI and UX decisions are based on feedbacks from professional data annotation team.

Update devtools hash in settings after submodule update:
new_exp_devtools_hash=$(git submodule status | grep exp-devtools | cut -d " " -f 2)
sed -i -e "s/EXP_DEVTOOLS_HASH = '.*'/EXP_DEVTOOLS_HASH = '$new_exp_devtools_hash'/g" cvat/settings/base.pyCreate a new git tag (should be run on master branch right before deployment):
git tag -m "$(git log --format=%s PREV_TAG..HEAD)" NEW_TAGDocumentation
