Abstract
The present invention relates generally to object annotation, specifically to polygonal annotations of objects. Described are methods of annotating an object including steps of receiving an image depicting an object, generating a set of image features using a CNN encoder implemented on one or more computers, and producing a polygon object annotation via a recurrent decoder or a Graph Neural Network. The recurrent decoder may include a recurrent neural network, a graph neural network or a gated graph neural network. A system for annotating an object and a method of training an object annotation system are also described.
