Instrumented and autonomous vehicles can generate very high volumes of video data per car per day all of which must be annotated at a high degree of granularity, detail, and accuracy. Manually or automatically annotating videos at this level and volume is not a trivial task. Manual annotation is slow and expensive while automatic annotation algorithms have shown significant improvement over the past few years. This demonstration presents an application of multi-object tracking, path prediction, and semantic segmentation approaches to facilitate the process of multi-object video annotation for enriched tracklet extraction. Currently, these three approaches are used to enhance the annotation task but more can and will be included in the future.
