This software release streamlines the entire annotation process by introducing SAM3-segmentation assisted annotation for faster, more precise labeling. It also simplifies data management by allowing directory-level query paths and adds graphical aids to help
users visually fine-tune patch sizes and objectness thresholds. Additionally, the inclusion of custom job naming provides much-needed organization for managing multiple workflows at once. Added functionality to generate the field boundary (field size) shapefile
separately, making it easier to integrate the spot-spraying shapefile with agricultural software.</li></ul>
