Edit Image Classes, Tags, and Comments

This topic describes how to create, modify, and delete the classes, tags, and comments of images in the Labeling tab.

Create a Class

You can use the following method to create an image class:

In the Labeling tab, click on the right side of the Classes section.
In the New Class dialog box that appears, create a class based on the type or feature of different objects.

You can create new classes in the Instance Segmentation, Classification, and Object Detection modules. Mech-DLK generates default classes for other modules.

Method 3:

In the Classes section, double-click the name or opacity value of a class to quickly modify them.

Method 4:

In the Classes section, select the class that you need to modify, right-click the class, and select Merge Into.
Select the new class that you need to merge into to change the class of the current data to the new class.
