Drawing tool

This geometry shape is drawn using the pen tool. It allows you to place nodes or points in the image while being connected by a line.

A task will include polygons (instance segmentation) or multi-polygons (semantic segmentation). The drawing process is the same, but multi-polygons allow you to draw separate polygons while sharing object ID.

Drawing process

  1. Select a class,
  2. Place a point at the edge of the object,
  3. Continue placing points along the object.
  4. Close the shape by connecting the first and last point.

If you are working with multi-polygons you will be able to continue drawing polygons. If the drawing tool is still active after closing a polygon, the selected class has the shape type "multi-polygon".
