Label Studio for Visual Annotations

First lets install the packages:

!pip -q install label-studio-sdk gcloud

Next, setup Google Cloud. Please specify the file path for the credentials file in order to upload images to google cloud bucket (provided via GRIPS or your own).

#@title ## Gcloud Setup
#@markdown 

import json
from gcloud import storage
from oauth2client.service_account import ServiceAccountCredentials

gcloud_credentials_path = '/content/vsma-course-2324-72da2075ad3a.json' #@param {type: "string"}
gcloud_bucket = 'label-studio-vsma' #@param {type: "string"}

with open(gcloud_credentials_path, 'rb') as f:
  credentials_dict = json.loads(f.read())

credentials = ServiceAccountCredentials.from_json_keyfile_dict(
    credentials_dict
)
client = storage.Client(credentials=credentials, project='local-grove-153811')
bucket = client.get_bucket(gcloud_bucket)

Let’s read the dataframe from previous sessions

import pandas as pd

df = pd.read_csv('/content/drive/MyDrive/2024-01-19-AfD-Stories-Exported.csv')
df.head()

And let’s unzip the images

!unzip /content/drive/MyDrive/2024-01-19-AfD-Stories-Exported.zip

Upload files to Cloud Bucket

We’re using the naming convention {cloud-bucket}/{username}/{id}.jpg. The naming convention is important, as we will use it later on to map the manual and computational annotations into one dataframe. (See Identifier in the text annotation project).

df["Image"] =  df.apply(lambda row: "gs://{}/{}/{}.jpg".format(gcloud_bucket, row['Username'], row['ID']), axis=1)
from tqdm.notebook import tqdm

df["Image"] = "gs://{}/{}/{}.jpg".format(gcloud_bucket, df['Username'], df['ID'])

uploaded_count = 0
skipped_count = 0

# Use tqdm for progress bar
for row in tqdm(df.itertuples(), total=len(df), desc="Uploading Images"):
    filename = "{}/{}.jpg".format(row.Username, row.ID)
    source_filename = row.image_path
    blob = bucket.blob(filename)

    if not blob.exists(client):
        try:
            blob.upload_from_filename(source_filename)
            uploaded_count += 1
        except FileNotFoundError:
            print(f"Uploading {source_filename} failed: Missing File")
    else:
        skipped_count += 1

print()
print(f"Uploaded {uploaded_count} images successfully, skipped {skipped_count} existing files.")

LabelStudio Setup

Please specify the the URL and API-Key for you LabelStudio Instance.

import json
from google.colab import userdata

labelstudio_key_name = "label2-key" #@param {type: "string"}
labelstudio_key = userdata.get(labelstudio_key_name)
labelstudio_url = "https://label2.digitalhumanities.io" #@param {type: "string"}

Create LabelStudio Interface

Before creating the LabelStudio project you will need to define your labelling interface. Once the project is set up you will only be able to edit the interface in LabelStudio.

interface = """
<View style="display:flex;">
  <View style="flex:33%">
    <Image name="Image" value="$Image"/>
  </View>
  <View style="flex:66%">
"""

Add a simple coding interface

Do you want add codes (Classification) to the images? Please name your coding instance and add options.
By running this cell multiple times you’re able to add multiple variables (not recommended)

Add the variable name to coding_name, the checkbox labels in coding_values, and define whether to expect single choice or multiple choice input for this variable in coding_choice.

#@title ### Codes
#@markdown Do you want add codes (Classification) to the images? Please name your coding instance and add options. <br/> **By running this cell multiple times you're able to add multiple variables (not recommended)**

coding_name = "Sentiment" #@param {type:"string"}
coding_values = "Positive,Neutral,Negative" #@param {type:"string"}
coding_choice = "single" #@param ["single", "multiple"]

coding_interface = '<Header value="{}" /><Choices name="{}" choice="{}" toName="Image">'.format(coding_name, coding_name,coding_choice)

for value in coding_values.split(","):
  value = value.strip()
  coding_interface += '<Choice value="{}" />'.format(value)

coding_interface += "</Choices>"

interface += coding_interface

print("Added {}".format(coding_name))
Added Sentiment

Don’t forget to run the next line! It closes the interface XML!

interface += """
        </View>
    </View>
    """

Project Upload

This final step creates a LabelStudio project and configures the interface. Define a project_name, and identifier_column. Additionally, you may define a sample_percentage for sampling, we start with \(30\%\). When working with the Open Source version of Label Studio we need to create on project per annotator, enter the number of annotators in num_copies to create multiple copies at once.

from label_studio_sdk import Client
import contextlib
import io

project_name = "vSMA Image Test 1"  #@param {type: "string"}
identifier_column = "ID"  #@param {type: "string"}
#@markdown Percentage for drawing a sample to annotate, e.g. 30%
sample_percentage = 30  #@param {type: "number", min:0, max:100}
#@markdown Number of project copies. **Start testing with 1!**
num_copies = 1  #@param {type: "number", min:0, max:3}

sample_size = round(len(df) * (sample_percentage / 100))

ls = Client(url=labelstudio_url, api_key=labelstudio_key)


# Import all tasks
df_tasks = df[[identifier_column, 'Image']]
df_tasks = df_tasks.sample(sample_size)
df_tasks = df_tasks.fillna("")

for i in range(0, num_copies):
  project_name = f"{project_name} #{i}"
  # Create the project
  project = ls.start_project(
      title=project_name,
      label_config=interface,
      sampling="Uniform sampling"
  )
  # Configure Cloud Storage (in order to be able to view the images)
  project.connect_google_import_storage(bucket=gcloud_bucket, google_application_credentials=json.dumps(credentials_dict))


  with contextlib.redirect_stdout(io.StringIO()):
    project.import_tasks(
          df_tasks.to_dict('records')
        )

  print(f"All done, created project #{i}! Visit {labelstudio_url}/projects/{project.id}/ and get started labelling!")

All done, created project #0! Visit https://label2.digitalhumanities.io/projects/71/ and get started labelling!
