Does Vertex AI support labels for counting?

[InsectRen]

I have an image where I have to do a multi-label classification and additionally count the number of a specific item in each image. I'm trying to setup a labeling task so I can enter a continuous number (0-100 for example), but there doesn't seem to be support for it. 

Additionally, does the labeling have capabilities to pre-choose a "default"  value?

Does anyone have an idea?

Hello,

As you have rightly mentioned, Vertex AI does not presently support object counting in an image. Please feel free to reach out to submit a feature request via the issue tracker link[0] to the Vertex AI product team about such implementations.

As mentioned in this article[1], there are only three ways to assign labels to your training data items:

-- Add the data items to your dataset with their labels already assigned, for example using a commercially available dataset
-- Assign labels to the data items using the Cloud Console
-- Request to have human labelers add labels to the data items

At this time, none of these options provide ways to pre-choose a "default" value. May be there may be workarounds to explore using your own human labelers via your instructions.
