LabelImg2
========
LabelImg2 is a graphical image annotation tool.
It is written in Python and uses Qt for its graphical interface.
Annotations are saved as XML files in PASCAL VOC format, the format used
by `ImageNet `__.
Annotations can now be exported in Ultralytics YOLO's BOX format and OBB format.
