Yesterday, I decided to give “liebel” a try. I’d heard about it from a friend who’s been using it for labeling images, and I figured it was time I checked it out myself.
So, I started by going to find it online, to figure out how to download it. Turns out, I needed to use this thing called “pip.” I’d used it before for other stuff, so that part was a breeze. I just opened up my command prompt and typed in pip install liebel, hit enter, and watched the magic happen.
Once it was installed, I was pretty eager to actually do something with it. First, I got a bunch of images together that I needed to label. Just some random pictures of stuff around the house, nothing fancy.
Then it installed, I had to figure out how to run this thing. I check the information about the package online, and find an example.
Next up, I figured I’d see it in action. The example showed was pretty straightforward. I created a simple Python script, using their example code, changed the image paths to point to my pictures, and ran it.
It work! The “liebel” window popped up, and I could see my images. Started drawing boxes and adding labels. It felt really smooth. Way easier than manually keeping track of everything in a spreadsheet or something.
I played around with it for a while, labeling all my test images. There were a couple of times I messed up a box and had to delete it, but that was simple enough. Mostly, it was just click, drag, type, repeat. Pretty darn intuitive.
After I was done labeling, I needed to save the results. check the sample code again, It saved everything to a file. I opened that up, and yep, there were all my labels, neatly organized with the image filenames and coordinates. Perfect!
Overall, I’m pretty happy with how this “liebel” experiment went. It was easy to get started, the labeling process was smooth, and I got the results I needed without any headaches. I can definitely see myself using this for future projects where I need to deal with image labeling.
