Systems and methods for automatically detecting and isolating objects in images. An image containing at least one object of interest is segmented by a segmentation module, based on the class of object each pixel of the image depicts. A bounding module then determines coordinates of a predetermined shape that covers at least a portion of the at least one object of interest. An application module then applies a bounding box having those coordinates and having the predetermined shape to the original image. In some embodiments, the coordinates are determined based on a mask layer that is based on the object classes in the image. In other embodiments, the coordinates are determined based on the mask layer and on an edge mask layer. Some embodiments comprise at least one neural network. In some embodiments, the objects of interest are text objects.
