bbox

Bounding boxes are geometric entities that enclose the shape of an object in Cartesian coordinates. Bounding boxes define minimum and maximum limits at each dimension so the entire object lies within the specified limits. A 2D bounding box is defined as a 4-dimensional vector [x, y, w, h], where [x, y] is the center of the bounding box and [w, h] represents the width (horizontal, x-coordinate dimension) and height (vertical, y-coordinate dimension), respectively.

Example

"bbox": [{
        "name": "bbox_shape",
        "val": [400, 200, 100, 120],
        "stream": "camera1",
        "confidence_score":0.8,
        "attributes" : {
            "boolean" : [{
                    "name" : "visible",
                    "val" : false
                }, {
                    "name" : "occluded",
                    "val" : false
                }
            ],
            "text" : [{
                    "name" : "brand",
                    "val" : "toyota"
                }, {
                    "name" : "color",
                    "val" : "red"
                }
            ]
        }
    ]
}

Schema

A 2D bounding box is defined as a 4-dimensional vector [x, y, w, h], where [x, y] is the center of the bounding box and [w, h] represents the width (horizontal, x-coordinate dimension) and height (vertical, y-coordinate dimension), respectively.

Use Case

bbox

To describe a bbox dataset with one camera sensor:

• sensor: camera (#camera1)

• ontology:

  • people

    • ischild - boolean (static info)

    • direction - front, left, right, back (dynamic info)

    • age - number (static info)

  • car

    • color - white, silver, blue, red, black (static info)

  • truck

  • bus
