Video Labeling software for detection and tracking in videos

EVA: Video Annotation Tool

EVA is a web-based tool for efficient annotation of videos and image sequences. It is a re-design of BeaverDam with additional tracking capabilities. The annotation is done on a bounding box level and the labels can be exported in YOLO or Pascal VOC format.
