User seeks optimal AI-assisted annotation for Meta DETR fine-tuning

A user on Reddit is seeking advice on the most effective method for annotating approximately 500 images to fine-tune Meta's DETR object detection model. The primary challenge is balancing speed with accuracy, as manual annotation is time-consuming. The user is exploring AI-assisted tools like CVAT, Roboflow, Grounding DINO, and OWLv2, and is considering workflows involving pre-annotation with open-vocabulary models versus manual labeling of an initial batch. Key concerns include ensuring object detection accuracy, maintaining label consistency, and implementing quality control measures before training. AI
