Scientific Annotation System Guide

Introduction

Welcome to the Schmidt Ocean Institute’s (SOI) guide for TATOR – a customized video annotation platform designed for ocean research. TATOR is a scientific video annotation system, built by CVision AI, tailored for processing and analyzing video footage, specifically for marine research. SOI has adapted TATOR to suit our video ingestion, annotation, and FathomNet upload needs. This guide will walk you through the features that are unique to SOI’s instance of TATOR, such as folder navigation, sensor/event data, machine learning integrations, and video export options. You can find TATOR’s general documentation here. TATOR is a registered trademark of CVision AI.

As part of SOI’s ongoing commitment to open science, we hope TATOR will serve as a powerful tool for collaboration, education, and discovery. Thank you for being part of our journey to better understand and protect the world’s oceans.
