How to Use the BBox Visualizer for Object Labeling

Mar 9, 2024 | Data Science

Are you tired of manually calculating the coordinates for bounding boxes around objects? Say hello to BBox Visualizer! This handy Python package allows users to effortlessly draw bounding boxes around objects in images while providing multiple visualization options. Let’s dive into the steps for installation, usage, and troubleshooting!

Installation

Getting started with BBox Visualizer is as easy as pie. Follow these quick steps:

  • Open your command line interface (CLI).
  • Type the following command and hit enter:
  • pip install bbox-visualizer

Usage

Using BBox Visualizer is like painting on a canvas—only you’re adding a frame to your masterpieces. Here’s how to visualize bounding boxes:

  • Start by importing the package:
  • import bbox_visualizer as bbv
  • Then, you can draw bounding boxes and add labels in a few different styles:
    • Box with label on top:
    • img = bbv.draw_rectangle(img, bbox)
      img = bbv.add_label(img, label, bbox, top=True)
    • Box with label inside:
    • img = bbv.draw_rectangle(img, bbox)
      img = bbv.add_T_label(img, label, bbox)
    • Label that looks like a flag:
    • img = bbv.draw_flag_with_label(img, label, bbox)
    • Opaque box with a label:
    • img = bbv.draw_rectangle(image, bbox, is_opaque=True)
      img = bbv.add_label(img, label, bbox, draw_bg=False, top=False)
    • And for multiple bounding boxes:
    • img = bbv.draw_multiple_rectangles(img, bboxes)
      img = bbv.add_multiple_labels(img, labels, bboxes)

How It Works: An Analogy

Think of bounding boxes as frames around your favorite paintings in an art gallery. The BBox Visualizer saves you from hunting down the exact measurements of each frame (like doing complex math) and lets you simply pick the painting (the object) and apply the frame (the bounding box) with easy methods. Just like different frame styles can enhance a painting’s beauty, varied bounding box styles allow you to highlight different aspects of the object seamlessly!

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any hiccups while using BBox Visualizer, here are a few troubleshooting tips:

  • Ensure that you have the latest version of the package by running pip install –upgrade bbox-visualizer.
  • Check that your image file format is supported and ensure the bounding box coordinates are in the correct format: (xmin, ymin, xmax, ymax).
  • If errors persist, consult the documentation at bbox-visualizer.readthedocs.io for further guidance.
