Abstract

Disclosed in the present invention is An annotation method of arbitrary-oriented rectangular bounding box, wherein: the elements for annotation being: the coordinates of the center point C, a vector {right arrow over (CD)} formed by the center point C and a chosen vertex D, and the ratio of the vector {right arrow over (CP)} to vector {right arrow over (CD)}, where {right arrow over (CP)} is the projection of the vector {right arrow over (CE)} to {right arrow over (CD)}, and {right arrow over (CE)} is a vector formed by the center of the bounding box to one of the vertex E that close neighbor to vertex D; and it is also required that the vector {right arrow over (CP)} is in the same direction as the vector {right arrow over (CD)}, the vertex E in either of the clockwise or counterclockwise direction of the vertex D. The symbol notation of this method is (x_c, y_c, u, v, ρ), x_c and y_c are the two coordinate values of the center point C, u and v are the two components of vector {right arrow over (CD)}, ρ is the ratio of the vector {right arrow over (CP)} to vector {right arrow over (CD)}. Also let a binary value s to indicate whether the two components of the vector {right arrow over (CD)} have same sign or not to represent {right arrow over (CD)} and −{right arrow over (CD)} at once by (|u|, |v|, s), then getting a method for annotating arbitrary-oriented rectangular bounding box that one bounding box has only two representation vectors. Its symbol notation is (x_c, y_c, |u|, |v|, s, ρ), wherein |u| and |v| are magnitude of two components of the vector {right arrow over (CD)}. This method avoids loss inconsistency between representations of the same bounding box and is beneficial to model regression training.
