Box Suggestions
Suggest boxes (P) asks the box suggestion service for boxes on the open image. The button is only shown when the server has a service (see Box Suggestion Service).
The suggestions come from:
-
your trained LumiScan network for the project (chosen in the project settings), or
-
for parts without a network yet, an open-vocabulary detector that looks for the objects named by the labels, for example "bracket" or "hexagon nut".
Working with suggestions
Suggestions are drawn dashed with their label and confidence. They are not part of the annotation until you accept them.
Accept one |
Correct it (move, resize, rotate, change the label), or select it and press Enter |
Delete one |
Right-click it, or select it and press Delete |
Accept all remaining |
Accept all |
Delete all remaining |
Discard |
Save with open suggestions |
You are asked whether to accept them or leave them out |
Suggestions are never written to the annotation file by themselves.
What is not suggested:
-
objects that already have a box on the image (overlap with an existing box),
-
objects outside the region of interest,
-
suggestions below the project’s minimum confidence, and beyond its maximum number of boxes.
Good suggestions
-
With a network: the more annotated images it was trained on, the better. Retrain after every few hundred corrected images.
-
With the detector: label names say what to look for. Use visible properties ("hexagon nut", "weld seam", "black rubber seal"), not internal part numbers. Labels with a meaningless name get a description in the project settings, for example
part_a: hexagon nut. -
Tiny or low-contrast objects: lower the minimum confidence.
-
Always check every accepted box. A wrong box in the training data teaches the network the mistake.
