What is Polygon Annotation?

Polygon annotation involves drawing precise, multi-sided shapes around objects in an image. Unlike bounding boxes, polygons can tightly wrap around irregular shapes, allowing high-accuracy labeling of complex objects. It’s essential for projects requiring detailed object boundaries and segmentation.


Use Cases by Industry
