• Abstract summary: This study presents a mobile application-based free-viewpoint image-capturing method. With the proposed application, users can collect multi-view image datasets automatically that are annotated with bounding boxes by moving the camera. Our experiments demonstrated that using the gamified mobile application for bounding box annotation, with visible collection progress status, can motivate users to collect multi-view object image datasets.

• Abstract: Training deep-learning-based vision systems requires the manual annotation of a significant amount of data to optimize several parameters of the deep convolutional neural networks. Such manual annotation is highly time-consuming and labor-intensive. To reduce this burden, a previous study presented a fully automated annotation approach that does not require any manual intervention. The proposed method associates a visual marker with an object and captures it in the same image. However, because the previous method relied on moving the object within the capturing range using a fixed-point camera, the collected image dataset was limited in terms of capturing viewpoints. To overcome this limitation, this study presents a mobile application-based free-viewpoint image-capturing method. With the proposed application, users can collect multi-view image datasets automatically that are annotated with bounding boxes by moving the camera. However, capturing images through human involvement is laborious and monotonous. Therefore, we propose gamified application features to track the progress of the collection status. Our experiments demonstrated that using the gamified mobile application for bounding box annotation, with visible collection progress status, can motivate users to collect multi-view object image datasets with less mental workload and time pressure in an enjoyable manner, leading to increased engagement.
