Exploring Google’s Open Images V7

Google's Open Images dataset has been upgraded, adding 22.6 million point labels spanning 4171 classes. This upgrade introduces a new paradigm for semantic segmentation called "pointillism," which involves sparse annotations rather than densely labeling every pixel in an image. The addition of point labels reflects the ongoing shift in computer vision towards data-centric approaches. The latest version, Open Images V7, can be accessed using FiftyOne, an open source computer vision library recommended by Google's team.
