Image Tagging

This feature enables you to associate custom key-value attributes, known as “custom tags,” with the images in a job. This is a generic mechanism to categorize images or associate attributes with images as part of visually exploring images in a visualization job. You can later use these tags to filter the images, group images by tag values, etc . The custom tags can be exported into the catalog or downloaded as part of resultset to use these attributes in other operations outside Vision Copilot.

Add Custom Tags

Custom tags enable you to add additional parameters to the image frames, allowing for easy identification and grouping for review. You can add tags to each image separately or in bulk.

Single Image Tagging

1. Navigate to Data Copilot > Data Visualization > Explore, and select a job.

2. Select a point from the frames to view the set of images corresponding to the point.

3. Select an image and click the expand icon to view it in full-resolution mode.
   

4. Enable the option Show Catalog Tags on the top-right corner, click Custom Tags > Set Custom Tags.

5. Enter a Name and Value to assign custom tags to the image. For example, add a value as “Good” for the name “Image_quality” to define the property of that image.
   
   You can select a name and value from the existing list or enter a new name and value, and press Enter. The name and value are thereafter added to the drop-down list.
