Bounding box

As explained in Designing Deep Learning Systems: A guide for software engineers

A rectangular coordinate representation that localizes an object within an image.

A bounding box is a rectangular coordinate representation used to localize a target object within an image. In an object-detection workflow, labeling users draw boxes around objects before training begins. section 2.3.2

Use bounding boxes to connect these workflow stages:

  • Label images by drawing boxes around target objects. section 2.3.2
  • Save the images and generated label data in a labeled dataset. section 2.3.2
  • Trigger model training when new labeled data arrives. section 2.3.2

Automated object-detection training

A labeling pipeline opens a user interface over images from a raw dataset. After users draw bounding boxes, the resulting labels enter a labeled dataset and trigger the training pipeline. section 2.3.2

Figure 2.19 Automated object detection model training in Pachyderm. The training process starts automatically when new images are labeled.

Shows how newly labeled images automatically start object-detection model training. section 2.3.2

How Designing Deep Learning Systems: A guide for software engineers covers it

How deep it goes
Shows bounding boxes in a labeling workflow but does not specify coordinate formats or geometric implementation.
Examples
Uses a labeling interface where users draw boxes on images before automated training.
What it assumes
Assumes images and a target object, then teaches labeling as preparation for model training.
What you can do after
Apply it via a labeling application to mark objects and produce training labels.
How it connects
Connects image labeling, labeled datasets, training pipelines, object detection, and data versioning.
