Bounding box

How it is used

Annotators draw bounding boxes, and models predict them together with a class and a confidence score. Box quality is measured with IoU (intersection over union). In code it is often shortened to bbox.

Example sentences

1. The bounding boxes are drawn too loosely, so the model learns a lot of background.

2. Each bounding box is saved as x, y, width and height.
