Technical Definition
A rectangle defined by coordinates surrounding a region of interest in an image, often used in object detection.
How it works
In computer vision, a bounding box is a rectangular frame used to identify and locate objects within an image. It's typically defined by the coordinates of its top-left and bottom-right corners, crucial for tasks like object detection and tracking.
