Ultimate Guide to Converting Bounding Boxes, Masks and Polygons
Blog post from Roboflow
Leo Ueno's article, published on August 15, 2023, on the Roboflow Blog, explores the conversion between bounding boxes, polygons, and masks, which are essential annotation formats in computer vision. The article highlights the complexities involved in converting these formats and introduces the use of the open-source utility, Supervision, to simplify the process. It provides methods for converting polygons to bounding boxes and masks, masks to bounding boxes and polygons, and emphasizes the efficiency gained by using concise code instead of lengthy scripts. The guide is aimed at improving the workflow for models related to object detection and instance segmentation by streamlining the conversion process, making it more accessible and less time-consuming for users.
