1. An image processing system, comprising:
a computer storage unit for storing one or more electronic images of one or more vehicles;
a user display that displays the one or more electronic images of the one or more vehicles;
a user input tool including:
a user input device that enables a user to modify a heat map which is overlaid onto an electronic image of a vehicle currently being displayed on the user display, the heat map indicating a respective probability of each pixel included within the electronic image being associated with a vehicle characteristic, to indicate a boundary of an area within the electronic image, and fill in the bounded area indicated by the modified heat map, thereby specifying a set of pixels associated with a selected area within the displayed electronic image; and
a marking engine including one or more routines stored on one or more computer readable memories that, when executed by one or more processors, automatically and respectively marks each pixel of the specified set of pixels associated with the selected area with the vehicle characteristic responsive to obtaining a user indication of the vehicle characteristic for the selected area; and
an image storage device that stores an annotated electronic image corresponding to the displayed electronic image, the annotated electronic image including image pixel data of the displayed electronic image and an indication of the vehicle characteristic for the each pixel of the specified set of pixels included in the selected area of the displayed electronic image.
