MBARI's Video Annotation and Reference System (VARS)
The Video Annotation and Reference System (VARS) is a suite of tools developed by the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute for describing, cataloging, retrieving, and viewing the visual, descriptive, and quantitative data associated with video.
Originally designed for annotating underwater video, VARS can be applied to any video dataset that requires constrained, searchable annotations.
vars-kb is a rewrite of the VARS knowledgebase applications to work with our new modular infrastructure.
Documentation for VARS is at https://hohonuuli.github.io/vars/
Requires Java 11+
