Filter displayed annotations with search
How to filter annotations in the annotation view with Tator.
Tator provides a search interface for annotations in the annotation view. This facilitates use cases such as analyzing algorithm performance or filtering down to a particular class of interest. It uses Lucene query syntax, which is the string query syntax used by Elasticsearch. This tutorial will show you how to use it to filter annotations in the annotation view.
Filter on string attributes
On the entity browser, click the Entities button corresponding to the object detections.

The boxes will be grouped by a specific attribute. In this case, they are grouped by Scientific Name.

To have your results filtered to show only a specific class, click on the Filter button.

Adjust your condition accordingly, and then press Apply Filter.

Once your filter is successfully applied, you should see a “Filters applied” message appear.

To see the entity’s exact frame(s) with your filter, click on the Go to entity’s frame button.
