COCO Annotator Next Generation

[SixK]

Seem's JsBroks is not active anymore for years now.
I can invite you to use my modernized version of COCO Annotator.
We can call it COCO Annotator NG.

coco-annotator-ng

Consider this version as a beta version since produced annotations json files are not fully tested yet.
Also Note you will have to migrate users password hash type due to Werkzeug 3 Breaking changes (You will find a script to help you in my project, see README.md file)

Features:
- vue 3.2+ style code
- upgraded python libraries versions
- upgraded javascript packages
- use Bootstrap5
- use pinia instead of vuex
- use vite instead of vue-cli
- added segment anything tool (SAM-HQ) to help to segment objects (1 click to segment an object)
activate GPU (seem's this was not really activated even when using docker-compose.gpu.yml)
- fixed some bugs and javascript errors
- can use detectron2 models to help segment objects
- maybe more ...

what features you will loose or bugs are introduced:
- watchdog to detect new images has been disabled (this was freezing the application. This feature may be reactivated later)
pinch zoom has been removed (need to find a library to replace and use a tablet to test it)
- objects id are not the new ones when switching to next or previous images (need to click on an object to get ids updated)
- exported json annotations files seem's ok but are actually not fully tested
- need to remove dead codes
- hope to not have more bugs and features removed...

Have a look at README.md file.

Hope some of you will be able to help me to improve and maintain this code.

Regards,
SixK

Abandoned projects make me have trust issues. But anw, really appreciate your ideas. We can try and move it when it's ready.

Question:

1. Will the database I used previously be lost or can it still be used?

As said in README.md of the project, python werkzeuk3 module introduced a breaking change on password hash type.
You will have to migrate each user account one by one using provided python script "change_password_hash_type.py"
And you can only do it if you know all users password.
Here are variables to modify for each users in file:
user="admin"
password="admin"

Backup/export json files, backup dataset images and mongo database if you can before migrating

First start mongodb database starting coco-annotator normally: docker-compose up

then you can install necessary packages (yes werkzeug 2.0.3 to migrate, then you can install any version or remove package):
pip install werkzeug==2.0.3
pip install pymongo

Then run this script for all users:
python change_password_hash_type.py

Another way would be to export all datasets and json files, drop database, create users and import all datasets and json.
