+        ...     import sbd_instance_segmentation_label_names

+
+    Args:
+        img (~numpy.ndarray): An array of shape :math:`(3, H, W)`.
+            This is in RGB format and the range of its value is
+            :math:`[0, 255]`.
+        bbox (~numpy.ndarray): A float array of shape :math:`(R, 4)`.
+            :math:`R` is the number of objects in the image, and each
+            vector represents a bounding box of an object.
+            The bounding box is :math:`(y_min, x_min, y_max, x_max)`.
+        mask (~numpy.ndarray): A bool array of shape
+            :math`(R, H, W)`.
+            If there is an object, the value of the pixel is :obj:`True`,
+            and otherwise, it is :obj:`False`.
+        label (~numpy.ndarray): An integer array of shape :math:`(R, )`.
+            The values correspond to id for label names stored in
+            :obj:`label_names`.
+        label_names (iterable of strings): Name of labels ordered according
+            to label ids.
+        alpha (float): The value which determines transparency of the figure.
+            The range of this value is :math:`[0, 1]`. If this
+            value is :obj:`0`, the figure will be completely transparent.
+            The default value is :obj:`0.7`. This option is useful for
+            overlaying the label on the source image.
+        ax (matplotlib.axes.Axis): The visualization is displayed on this
+            axis. If this is :obj:`None` (default), a new axis is created.
+
+    Returns:
+        matploblib.axes.Axes: Returns :obj:`ax`.
+        :obj:`ax` is an :class:`matploblib.axes.Axes` with the plot.
