Project Dashboard

Overview

A project is a high-level organizational entity that defines and contains a scope of work and entities, such as Dataset, Recipe, Labeling Tasks, Users, Pipeline, Applications, etc. It provides a centralized location for managing data, tasks, and annotations of a specific ML/AI development activity context. It enhances collaboration between team members, consistency of data and annotations, and tracking of progress and results.

Project Dashboard

Dataloop widgets are small applications or programs that facilitate access to the most used functions. The display of widgets in the dashboard can be managed by enable or disable widgets. The following widgets are available in the Dashboard.

      2. Frames Difference: This parameter specifies the tolerance to differences in frames that are produced during the conversion process when converting video files to WEBM format for frame-accurate annotations. While the default is set to 0 (zero), you can specify the tolerance level that will work best for your project's requirements to ensure frame-accurate annotations.
      3. FPS Difference: This parameter specifies tolerance in the frames-per-second difference between the original video file and the converted WEBM file, similarly frames-difference does. By default, 0.2 is displayed.
   3. Dataset Columns: The Dataloop platform allows you to customize the dataset columns as per the metadata information. For example, if a metadata field DayInWeek is to be added to the dataset column, follow the steps:
