Section 3: Techniques of Image Annotation
Navigating through the techniques of image annotation unveils the intricacies involved in providing accurate and meaningful annotations. From bounding boxes to semantic segmentation, each technique plays a crucial role in enhancing visual understanding.
3.1 Bounding Boxes:
One of the most common forms of image annotation involves drawing bounding boxes around objects of interest. This technique provides precise spatial information, enabling machines to recognize and locate objects within images accurately.
3.2 Polygon Annotation:
Polygonal annotations involve tracing the contours of objects using a series of connected points. This method is particularly useful for objects with irregular shapes, contributing to more nuanced annotations in scenarios where bounding boxes may fall short.
3.3 Keypoint Annotation:
Keypoints represent specific points of interest within an object, providing detailed information about structure and pose. This technique is valuable in tasks such as human pose estimation and facial recognition.
3.4 Semantic Segmentation:
Rather than annotating objects with bounding boxes, semantic segmentation involves labeling each pixel within an image. This pixel-level accuracy is crucial for tasks that require a fine-grained understanding of object boundaries.
