March 31, 2021 (Web & Python SDK)

This update takes data security to the next level and brings you a shortcut that will help you review instances faster than ever.

Attach image URLs

You can now import images by linking them from external storages. The linked images are displayed in SuperAnnotate, but they are not stored in our local servers.

Step 1: Create a CSV file containing the image URLs

To attach image URLs, first create a CSV file with URLs. Use this template CSV file as a reference.

Field name	Necessity	Description
url	Required	Image URL
name	Optional	Image name

📘
If the image name field is empty, a name ID will be generated based on the row ID and a random UUID.

Step 2: Attach image URLs via Python SDK

Link your images to your project with this SDK command.

superannotatecli attach-image-urls --project <project_name/folder_name> --attachments <csv_path> [--annotation_status <annotation_status>]

sa.attach_image_urls_to_project(
    project = "Project Name", 
    attachments = "./images.csv",
    annotation_status = "QualityCheck")

Data protection

Signed URLs contain additional information such as expiration dates that gives you control over access to your data. With SuperAnnotate, you can import images by linking them from external storages including AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure. The linked images are displayed in SuperAnnotate, but they are not stored on our local servers.

Shortcut to switch from one instance to another

You can now switch between instances in the vector editor. Press Tab to switch to the next instance and press Shift+Tab to switch to the previous instance. The canvas will zoom in on the instance, allowing you to check and edit it with higher-precision.
