An MIT model for object recognition takes as input the unlabeled images of digital photographs from the street scene database (top) and generates automatic annotations (bottom row). The orange bounding boxes are for pedestrians ("ped") and cars ("car"). The system would have also detected bicycles if present. For sky, buildings, trees and road, the system uses color coding (blue, brown, green and ...
