New Feature – Image AI Integration

Glycerine Editor now integrates AI-assisted image analysis to augment scholarly and curatorialn annotation practice. We have implemented automated region outlining using ONNX SAM2 runningon WebGPU, with assisted additive and subtractive refinement. Magnetic cursor tools assist in fine outlining of complex shapes. These outputs enter the standard workflow as draft annotation layers, subject to expert review, correction, and enrichment. The result is a radical reduction in manual effort at scale without compromising interpretive control, metadata integrity, or alignment with institutional standards and IIIF-based publication.

Glycerine Workbench has been updated. If you have not already, please register and try it out.

Workbench Upgrade

Glycerine Workbench has just been upgraded with a range of improvements include annotationordering controls within Annotation Sets and publication URL parameters for direct linking to specificannotations and image canvases.Glycerine Workbench provides annotation tools, configurable templates, and end-to-end workflowsfor researchers, curators, and students to collaborate on projects across repositories.

Images can beorganised into collections and shared with collaborators. Sets of annotations can combine semantictags from domain-specific vocabularies with critical analysis in multiple languages. Fully IIIF-compliant, annotated images can be published as research outputs and archived in sustainableformats.
