Hello everyone, I had already created a dataset through Roboflow. The results are quite good, but I also need **negative images**. I want to create negative images like in “Haar Cascade” and train Yolo v8 that way. Is it possible to do this through Roboflow?

This is how the folder currently looks like via [Visual Studio Code](https://code.visualstudio.com)

Two options:

1. Mark an image as null (hotkey `n`) to show there are no objects detected in the image.
2. Add a class for the negative types of objects (it will improve the model for the classes you care about).
