I am classifying using YOLOv4 and using AlexeyAB’s<\/a> version of Darknet. He also has a classifying tool (putting boxes on images) for it called Yolo_mark<\/a>. I signed up for a course and the teacher (who is totally helping me out – super guy on the video and in real life)<\/a> suggests Supervisor.ly but it seems to be an online tool and I have thousands of images to mark\/classify (oh and I am from Dutch descent – so the enterprise version will not be an option as there is no downloadable trial version). So his course isn’t quite ready (he said a couple weeks) where he will demo this so I have searched a bit and I found a VERY basic tool that is keyboard driven except selecting and moving the box. SUPER FAST TO USE it turns out. It needed a couple tweaks too so here goes ( I should mention I am following this guy’s guide<\/a> when AlexeyAB’s instructions got a little vague) … <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

It says to download it, then open up the .sln in VisualStudio. I already have the compiler downloaded (forget the name dangit). Anyways – there are these user variables like $(MY_OWN_VAR) that you can use like “environment variables withing VS” but he had EVERYTHING perfectly setup to use those variables – but how do I set them? Well a file was missing where these would be stored. So these variables are (stupidly) called “macros”<\/a> . Finding this phraseology too 15 minutes on Google – once I found out what they were called it was a snap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is missing to get these macros “set” is a file – it is called User Macros – or a settings file. Here is a demo that if you follow will make it come alive. Then – you have to add that file as a file to all the compile environments that you have – so in my case Debug – x64, Release x64. The main point is to go to View->Property Manager->Create New File. Once it is created – add the macro – in this case the one I am focused on was called <\/p>\n\n\n\n
