Bounding boxes and hot spots
Non-default tags include the bounding box that identifies the area of interest in the image that the tag applies to. If the bounding box does not identify the entire image, use the bounding box to create a hot spot on the image. The user can click the hot spot to get information related to the content found under the hot spot (or rectangle). For example, if the image is a high-fashion image, the results may contain tags (and bounding boxes) for accessories shown in the image, such as a purse, jewelry, scarfs, and so on. The following example shows a hot-spot rectangle for the sunglasses shown in the image:
