  "content": "<p>Hi,</p>\n<p>I am a little confused with how the bounding boxes are labeled. While we have a study level CSV file (train_study_level.csv) which provides 4 different categories for each study, we also have image-level labeling which provides either none or opacity for bounding boxes. For images that have more than one opacity, should we assume all opacity has the same category provided by train_study_level.csv or something else? <br>\nThe reason I am asking this is that I have noticed in <a href=\"https://www.kaggle.com/c/siim-covid19-detection/overview/evaluation\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.kaggle.com/c/siim-covid19-detection/overview/evaluation</a>, you can provide different labels for each opacity.</p>",
