The class BoundBoxDialog provides a graphical user interface (GUI) to the class BoundBox designed for drawing rectangles around areas in an image. The Dialog provides parameters which restrict the showing of undesired Bounding Boxes. For instance noise due to bad quality of images. The parameters are set to a minimum of 5 pixels by 5 pixels and a maximum which should be high enough not to be exceeded by most images (it's the maximum Integer value). The Area is displayed on the right of the width and height parameters and is merely intented as a help for the user. Therefore and especially small or large Bounding Boxes can be filtered out.
Example:
This tool is used to find the text areas inside of a non-PDF file. There is still some noise which might be removed with the use of other tools. But most texts are picked up nicely, unless the font is too small.
