MARKER labeling toolbox

MARKER

A Matlab time-series labelling toolbox. (2005-present)

Summary

Marker is a data visualisation and time-series annotation toolbox (with a sparse GUI) to manage a database of sensor data within Matlab. You can import/ export labels to several formats as well as add/ refine/ delete labels and much more. I started this project to label different data types from various experiments. Marker is also used by a number of my colleagues at ETH Zurich, University Passau, Lancaster and UMIT Innsbruck. To get an idea how things work see the screenshots and documentation below.

As of version 1.0 MARKER is hosted in a public accessible SVN repository. Release of main development milestones and critical bugfixes will be CONTINUED on this page though (see Development Section below).
