# Open World Object Detection

## Overview

The Open World Object Detection plugin allows you to detect a great variety of objects on image files in your project. The plugin will draw a bounding box around each object type it can find, and it will write the type of object in a nested text classification in the box itself.

## Plugin Functionality

The Open World Object Detection Plugin automatically detects objects in images using a open world object detection model. It draws bounding boxes, and provides confidence scores, making it easy to annotate existing categories while flagging new or unexpected objects for review.

{% hint style="info" %}
The plugin will create unknown bounding boxes not belonging to any class.
{% endhint %}

## Plugin Configuration <a href="#plugin-configuration" id="plugin-configuration"></a>

The **Overwrite** setting in model plugins controls whether existing annotations are replaced or kept. When enabled, the plugin replaces all existing annotations with new model predictions; when disabled, it simply adds the new results without deleting what’s already there.

You may vary a number of settings related to the model plugin from the **Config JSON** field. Each option is detailed below:

```json
{
  "threshold": 0.3
}
```

* **"threshold":** The confidence score threshold for object detection. Detections with a confidence score below this value will be filtered out. A higher threshold reduces false positives but may miss low-confidence detections.
  * Example:
    * <kbd>"threshold": 0.3</kbd>

### Detection Classes <a href="#detection-classes" id="detection-classes"></a>

The following are the classes of objects this plugin will detect:
