Project Types Overview

LandingLens offers these Project Types to help you label your images:

Object Detection: Use to identify one or more objects in an image.
Classification: Use to categorize (or "classify") the content of an image. The difference between Object Detection and Classification is that Classification can only be used to identify the image as a whole, whereas Object Detection can be used to identify one or more objects within an image. This means that Classification looks at all the pixels in an image, while Object Detection only looks at the pixels within the label.
Segmentation: Use to specify exact pixels to identify one or more regions within an image.

Each Project Type is also designed for different use cases:

Project Type	When to Use	Examples
Object Detection	You want to identify multiple objects in an image. You want to identify one object in an image.	Identify multiple objects in an image. Scratches and missing parts on a laptop Apples and bananas Identify one object in an image. Deer Person License plate frame
Classification	You want to identify all the content within an image. You want to distinguish one object type from another.	Identify all content within an image. Image of a city Image of a basketball Distinguish one object type from another. Screws vs. nails Cats vs. dogs
