# Image Segmentation

## Setup the Dataset

Navigate to [udt.dev](https://udt.dev) and click "New File"

![Click "New File" on udt.dev](/files/-MI11H2GNT530d7n2r1Q)

Then select the Image Segmentation button from the `Setup > Data Type` page.

You can configure the Image Segmentation to create the right interface for your dataset. Use the `Setup > Preview` button to see your interface against either an example image or a sample from your dataset.

#### Configuring Regions and Labels

The Image Segmentation interface allows different types of regions, the options for regions are:

* bounding-box
* polygon
* point

Each region can any number of labels, which can be configured under "Available Labels"

## Import Data

You can use any of the following methods to import image data. If you're just getting started, you can quickly create a dataset using the COCO Images method!

* [Import COCO Dialog](/importing-data/coco-images.md)
* [Import from Google Drive](/importing-data/import-from-google-drive.md)
* [Import from AWS S3 Bucket](/importing-data/import-from-aws-s3-bucket.md)
* [Import from List of URLs](/importing-data/import-file-urls.md)
* [Import from CSV or JSON](/importing-data/import-from-csv-or-json.md)
* [Upload or Open Directory](/importing-data/upload-or-open-directories.md)

## Label your Data!

Use the `Label` tab to label your data. Look at the [Collaborative Labeling Guide](/collaborative-labeling.md) to label with others.

## Export and Use

You can download your data using the download icon at the top.
