Labellerr’s new Smart File Filtering feature revolutionizes how you manage and navigate your image datasets. It lets you find exactly what you need in seconds, saving hours spent manually searching for images. This powerful tool allows users to apply multiple advanced filters simultaneously across their dataset, providing laser-precise results with just a few clicks.

​
What Can You Filter By?

  • Last Updated User: Find files updated by specific users to track contributions or assignments.
  • Objects Present in Images: Filter images containing specific objects such as cars, bikes, people, etc.
  • Classifications: Narrow results using classification labels like weather conditions, traffic density, etc.
  • Custom Attributes: Use your project-specific attributes for further granularity (e.g., number of cars in an image).
  • Combination Filters: Apply multiple filter conditions simultaneously for incredibly precise search.

​
Real-Life Example: Filtering Traffic Images

Imagine you want to find images meeting these conditions:
  • Sunny weather
  • Less than 10 cars
  • Presence of bikes
  • More than or equal to 2 large vehicles
  • High traffic condition

​
How to Apply Filters Step-by-Step

​
Filter by Object:

Select images containing bikes and large vehicles (≥ 2).

​
Filter by Classification:

Choose high traffic and sunny weather classifications.

​
Filter by Attribute:

Add an attribute filter to exclude images with exactly 10 cars (e.g., “cars < 10”).

​
Result:

The system instantly returns seven images matching all these combined filters.

​
Key Benefits

  • ⚡ Dramatically Faster Search: Find specific images in seconds, not hours.
  • 🎯 Highly Precise Filtering: Combine multiple filters on objects, classifications, and attributes to get exactly what you need.
  • 📊 Instant Review & Actions: Review filtered images quickly, assign tasks, or prepare exports without leaving the filter interface.
  • 🚀 Boost Workflow Efficiency: Speeds up the entire annotation process by streamlining data organization and retrieval.

​
How to Use Smart File Filtering

  1. Open the File Section in your Labellerr project.
  2. Choose the filter icon to open filter options.
  3. Select filters based on:
    • User: Filter files by the last person who updated them.
    • Objects: Check the boxes next to objects that should be present.
    • Classifications: Pick classification labels relevant to your search.
    • Attributes: Set attribute conditions like numeric values or categorical options.
  4. Combine multiple filter types as needed for a refined search.
  5. View your filtered results instantly.
  6. Use the options to:
    • Review images.
    • Assign files to team members or yourself.
    • Export filtered datasets for use in training or analysis.

​
Best Practices

  • Use Combination Filters for Complex Queries: Filter by objects, classifications, and attributes together to narrow your dataset effectively.
  • Validate Filter Results: Confirm that the filtered files meet the criteria by spot-checking a few samples.
  • Assign Tasks Efficiently: Use the filtering results to assign relevant files to proper team members based on content type or annotation progress.
  • Export Relevant Data: Prepare datasets tailored to project needs by exporting the filtered subset directly from the tool.
