Visualizing iFDO information with icons#

Some of the iFDO fields require using well-defined values for those fields as described in the tables on the specific iFDO sections. For these well-defined values, icons were created to enable visualizing this capture information in web interfaces or data processing reports. These icons are available in the resources folder and an overview is given here. You are free to use these icons. They are released publicly under CC-0.

iFDO core icons#

iFDO content icons#

Field Value Icon Description
image-annotations > shape rectangle image-annotations-shape:rectangle A bounding box was drawn around objects of interest
single-pixel image-annotations-shape:single-pixel Single points in the images were marked
whole-image image-annotations-shape:whole-image The entire image was annotated without defining a region of interest
