LightlyStudio

Product: LightlyStudio combines computer vision data curation, annotation, quality assurance, evaluation, and dataset management in one app.
Open source: The open-source version is free and distributed under the Apache License 2.0.
Curation: It automatically computes embeddings and supports metadata filters, text and image similarity search, deduplication, outlier detection, and class balancing.
Annotation and evaluation: It supports image and video annotation, model-assisted labeling plugins, and model evaluation with a confusion matrix and per-sample metrics.
Integrations: It reads images and videos from Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, and Azure Blob Storage, and supports common annotation formats including COCO, YOLO, Pascal VOC, and YouTube-VIS.
Export: Users can export full datasets or filtered subsets to COCO, YOLO, Pascal VOC, YouTube-VIS, or CSV.
Python API: The Python API can index datasets, query and slice samples, add annotations and tags, run sampling, and start the GUI.
Team features: LightlyStudio Enterprise adds multi-user collaboration, role-based permissions, and centrally managed cloud credentials.
Security: Lightly states that it is ISO 27001 certified and GDPR compliant, and that raw images and videos are never stored on its servers.
Privacy: In the open-source version, images and videos stay in the user's storage, while anonymous usage analytics can be disabled with an environment variable.
Supported systems: The local application runs on Windows, Linux, and macOS and supports x86 and ARM processors with Python 3.9 or later.
Scale: Lightly reports that LightlyStudio handled more than two million images with embeddings on a MacBook M1 with 16 GB of memory.
Support: The Open Source plan lists no customer support; the on-premise offering includes dedicated engineering support.
