OpenCV does not have built in labeling software. However you could present a picture in a window, then use actiongrabber on your mouse pointer to define what needs to be done when going over pixels. By preselecting a color from a menu, masks could be created this way.

If you want to share ideas on labeling software, feel free to ask, im using it in my PHD study and trying to obtain a universal labeler by listening to the different things people would like to have included in it!

thanks, but it should work in an automatic mode...(visual servoing). it was told me to check "cvFloodFill" OpenCV function...doesn't it make something similar?

Then what you actually need, is an automatic segmentation of the area into possible regions? Then google the watershed algorithm. It is what the cvFloodFill applies internally.

thanks again...why can I not use directly the function cvFloodFill?

you could use the functionality, but I do not know by head how this function works. So you should look it up :)

Hi, take a look at this post. There are links to two different labeling tools.

thanks for the answer, but i would like to remain in OpenCV environment: i need this function to implement a visual servoing control of robots..so i should use it as a part of a bigger program and not as a tool.
