ComfyUI Node: ScaleBy BBOX (SEG_ELT)

ScaleBy BBOX (SEG_ELT):

The ImpactScaleBy_BBOX_SEG_ELT node is designed to adjust the bounding box (BBOX) of a segmentation element (SEG_ELT) by scaling it. This node is particularly useful when you need to modify the size of the bounding box around a segmented object, either to include more context or to focus more closely on the object. By scaling the bounding box, you can control the area of interest around the segmented object, which can be beneficial for various image processing tasks such as object detection, cropping, and further segmentation. The node ensures that the mask outside the new bounding box is filled with zeros, effectively isolating the object within the scaled bounding box.

ScaleBy BBOX (SEG_ELT) Input Parameters:

seg

This parameter represents the segmentation element (SEG_ELT) that contains the object and its associated bounding box. The SEG_ELT includes the cropped image, cropped mask, confidence score, crop region, bounding box, label, and control net wrapper. This input is essential as it provides the initial bounding box and mask that will be scaled.

scale_by

This parameter determines the scaling factor for the bounding box. It is a floating-point value that specifies how much to scale the bounding box. The default value is 1.0, meaning no scaling. The minimum value is 0.01, and the maximum value is 8.0, with a step size of 0.01. Adjusting this parameter allows you to increase or decrease the size of the bounding box proportionally, thereby including more or less of the surrounding area in the segmentation.

ScaleBy BBOX (SEG_ELT) Output Parameters:

seg

The output is a modified segmentation element (SEG_ELT) with the scaled bounding box. This SEG_ELT includes the updated cropped mask, which has been adjusted to fill zeros outside the new bounding box, ensuring that only the area within the scaled bounding box is considered. The other attributes of the SEG_ELT, such as the cropped image, confidence score, crop region, label, and control net wrapper, remain unchanged.

ScaleBy BBOX (SEG_ELT) Usage Tips:

• To focus more closely on the segmented object, use a scale_by value less than 1.0 to shrink the bounding box.
• To include more context around the segmented object, use a scale_by value greater than 1.0 to enlarge the bounding box.
• Experiment with different scale_by values to find the optimal bounding box size for your specific image processing task.

ScaleBy BBOX (SEG_ELT) Common Errors and Solutions:

"Bounding box coordinates out of range"

• Explanation: This error occurs when the scaled bounding box coordinates exceed the dimensions of the image.
• Solution: Ensure that the scale_by value is appropriate for the size of the image and the initial bounding box. Adjust the scale_by value to prevent the bounding box from extending beyond the image boundaries.

"Invalid SEG_ELT input"

• Explanation: This error occurs when the input segmentation element (SEG_ELT) is not properly formatted or is missing required attributes.
• Solution: Verify that the input SEG_ELT contains all necessary attributes, including the cropped image, cropped mask, confidence score, crop region, bounding box, label, and control net wrapper. Ensure that the SEG_ELT is correctly generated and passed to the node.
