Bounding Boxes

Bounding boxes are rectangular outlines used in computer vision to identify and locate objects within an image or video. They are defined by coordinates specifying the position of the rectangle around an object, helping algorithms recognize and differentiate multiple items. For example, in a photo with a dog and a person, bounding boxes can be drawn around each to specify their locations. They assist in tasks like object detection, tracking, and classification, enabling machines to interpret visual data more effectively by providing a simple spatial context of objects within the scene.
