IBM Cloud Annotations JSON
The native JSON format of IBM's open source Cloud Annotations labeling tool.
Overview
IBM Cloud is developing a suite of tools to complement their Watson AI platform. Cloud Annotations is an open source tool that can create labels for classification and object detection computer vision projects.
Cloud Annotations can export to several popular formats including VOC XML and YOLO TXT, but it also has its own proprietary JSON format. To convert this JSON format to any other format, you can use Roboflow.
