Welcome ! And congratulations you made it here.

But do you know why you are here ? Did you come knowingly, or did you just find an open door and thought it seemed nice to come in ? Whichever it is, we are glad to welcome you, and happy to tell you what we do here.

For hundred of purposes, data is the key:

• machine learning
• algorithm benchmark
• unit testing
• functional testing
• processing pipe design
• algorithm optimization / parameters tweak
• sensor caracterization
• and probably many others...

For all those purposes, having data representing a situation, a problem, a scenario the program must be able to handle is crucial to the achievement of the task. And most of the times, a few data is simply not enough.

qidata is a set of tools made to handle annotated files and data sets. It helps the world to store information about recorded data in order to be used as ground truth during testing, or as selection criteria for machine learning or performance statistics.

It is probably not that much different. However, most of those tools were designed with a very particular area in mind (machine learning for face detection or OCR, set of recorded speeches for speech recognition, music database for music classification). We on the other hand, tried our best to be as generic as possible, as our key goal is to work with robots, which could encounter many different situations and need many different algorithms. As a result, qidata` can work with images and video but also with lasers, sonars or audio. And most important, ``qidata is thought to handle multi-modal data, whereas most annotation tools available cannot handle more than one data type.

qidata is divided in two parts. The first one (qidata) is the core system, containing all functionalities and some command-line controls, the second (qidata_gui) containing a set of GUI interfaces to make it fun to use ! You can install only the first one on your computing farms, and install the second on your machines used by humans.

pip install qidata --find-links=http://10.0.2.107/pypi --extra-index-url http://10.0.2.107/pypi --trusted-host 10.0.2.107
