makesense.ai

makesense.ai is a free-to-use online tool for labeling 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 deep learning projects, making the process of preparing a dataset much easier and faster. Prepared labels can be downloaded in one of the multiple supported formats. The application was written in TypeScript and is based on React/Redux duo.

📄 Documentation

You can find out more about our tool from the newly released documentation - still under 🚧 construction. Let us know what topics we should cover first.

🤖 Advanced AI integrations

makesense.ai strives to significantly reduce the time you have to spend on photo labeling. We are doing our best to integrate lates and gratest AI models, that are able to give you recommendations as well as automate repetitive and tedious activities.

YOLOv5 is our most powerful integration yet. Thanks to the use of yolov5js you can load not only pretreated models from yolov5js-zoo, but above all your own models trained thanks to YOLOv5 and exported to tfjs format.
SSD pretrained on the COCO dataset, which will do some of the work for you in drawing bboxes on photos and also (in some cases) suggest a label.
PoseNet is a vision model that can be used to estimate the pose of a person in an image or video by estimating where key body joints are.

In the future, we also plan to add, among other things, models that classify photos, detect characteristic features of faces as well as whole faces. The engine that drives our AI functionalities is TensorFlow.js - JS version of the most popular framework for training neural networks. This choice allows us not only to speed up your work but also to care about the privacy of your data, because unlike with other commercial and open source tools, your photos do not have to be transferred to the server. This time AI comes to your device!

💻 Local Setup

# clone repository
git clone https://github.com/SkalskiP/make-sense.git

# navigate to main dir
cd make-sense

# install dependencies
npm install

# serve with hot reload at localhost:3000
npm start

To ensure proper functionality of the application locally, an npm 6.x.x and node.js v12.x.x versions are required. More information about this problem is available in the #16.

🐳 Docker Setup

# Build Docker Image
docker build -t make_sense docker/

# Run Docker Image as Service
docker run -dit -p 3000:3000 --restart=always --name=make_sense make_sense

# Get Docker Container IP
docker inspect -f '{{range .NetworkSettings.Networks}}{{.IPAddress}}{{end}}' make_sense
# Go to `<DOCKER_CONTAINER_IP>:3000`

# Get Docker Container Logs
docker logs make_sense
