The main focus is a simple and intuitive design that makes the process of manual confirmation of predicted labels as easy and fast as possible.

The workflow with SSODViz is depicted in the figure and description below. 1. Use the initial annotations for first model training *initial training step* -- constructing the initial object detection model. 2. Predict annotations for a subset of the unlabeled images.
