Bounding Boxes



Bounding boxes are the most commonly used type of annotation. They are rectangular boxes which are defined by x and y axis coordinates of the upper left hand corner and bottom right hand corner. This type of annotation indicates the spatial location of the object relative to the background.

Polygon



Polygonal segmentation annotations are complex polygons that are used to be more accurate than bounding boxes and indicate the shape of the object.
