BIIGLE for Beginners
A tutorial for BIIGLE, a web-based platform for annotating images and videos.
BIIGLE is a free and open-source platform for annotating images and videos from scientific surveys. Applications range from marine imagery by remotely operated vehicles, drop cameras, or autonomous underwater vehicles to terrestrial imagery and microscopy.
This tutorial teaches the complete beginner workflow: from creating a user account, through setting up projects and annotating data, to exporting the results. Each chapter introduces one concept, then gives you a hands-on task to solve on biigle.de.
