In this demo, we've asked for the AI to identify all bunnies.\n* The coordinates are then rescaled with the original image's width and height to correctl align them.\n* Finally to measure the accuracy of the object detection, we use the \"Edit Image\" node to draw the bounding boxes onto the original image.\n\n\n### Need Help?\nJoin the [Discord](https://discord.com/invite/XPKeKXeB7d) or ask in the [Forum](https://community.n8n.io/)!\n\nHappy Hacking!"}, "typeVersion": 1}], "pinData": {}, "connections": {"Get Variables": {"main": [[{"node": "Scale Normalised Coords", "type": "main", "index": 0}]]}, "Get Image Info": {"main": [[{"node": "Gemini 2.0 Object Detection", "type": "main", "index": 0}]]}, "Get Test Image": {"main": [[{"node": "Get Image Info", "type": "main", "index": 0}]]}, "Draw Bounding Boxes": {"main": [[]]}, "Scale Normalised Coords": {"main": [[{"node": "Draw Bounding Boxes", "type": "main", "index": 0}]]}, "Gemini 2.0 Object Detection": {"main": [[{"node": "Get Variables", "type": "main", "index": 0}]]}, "When clicking \u2018Test workflow\u2019": {"main": [[{"node": "Get Test Image", "type": "main", "index": 0}]]}}}
