Launch: Calculate Polygon Coordinates with PolygonZone
Blog post from Roboflow
PolygonZone is a newly introduced web utility designed to streamline the process of drawing polygons on images and retrieving their coordinates in either a Python NumPy array or a JSON object, facilitating object tracking in complex zones. This tool addresses the challenges of defining regions of interest on images, such as counting vehicles in specific lanes of a traffic photo, by allowing users to easily draw polygons and obtain the necessary coordinates. The process involves capturing an image or video frame, using PolygonZone to draw the desired regions, and then applying these coordinates with the Roboflow Supervision Python package to track objects within these defined areas. The guide provides a step-by-step tutorial, including capturing an image, calculating polygon coordinates, and applying them using Supervision Zones to monitor object presence, with an emphasis on enhancing model accuracy through fine-tuning. The PolygonZone tool is open-source and invites contributions for further development, making it a valuable resource for computer vision projects that require precise region annotation and object tracking.
