Document Label Support

Documents support the following label types:

  • Bounding boxes
  • Polygons
  • Bitmasks
  • Classifications
  • Text Region
We recommend adding attributes to your label types when creating your Ontology for labeling documents.
The color you specify for each object label in your Ontology can make a big difference in the ease and effectiveness of labeling items. For example, lighter colors are more difficult to see on a white background.
