Steps to reproduce

The raw source images for the dataset were annotated utilizing the Computer Vision Annotation Tool (CVAT). To expedite the labeling of complex multi-class piece bounding boxes and four-point board keypoint geometries, an automated annotation pipeline was developed utilizing the CVAT. A pre-trained base pose-estimation model (yolov8l-pose.pt) was deployed to infer preliminary bounding box boundaries and keypoint coordinates across the unlabeled set.
