# Contextualize 360° images in data modeling projects

> Use 3D jobs (ImageTextDetection) and the 360 image contextualization API to link 360° text regions to CogniteAsset instances.

## Contextualize

In **data modeling** projects, use the 3D jobs API to get suggestions and then create contextualization approvals:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Get text detection suggestions">
    Run the 3D job through the [Create a job using 3D source data](https://docs.cognite.com/20230101/3d-jobs/create-a-job-using-3d-source-data) API endpoint.

    Use the **Create360ContextualizationJobRequest** body: set job `type` to `ImageTextDetection` and `source.type` to `Cognite360ImageCollection`.

    <Note>
      The `Cognite360ImageCollection` can be produced as part of a combined point cloud and 360 image extraction run. For more information, see [Upload 360° images](/cdf/3d/guides/360images_upload).
    </Note>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create contextualization approvals">
    To connect 360° image annotations (text and polygons) to <span translate="no">CogniteAsset</span> instances, use the [Create 360 Image contextualization](https://docs.cognite.com/20230101-beta/3d-contextualization/create-360-image-contextualization) API endpoint ([*public preview*](/cdf/product_feature_status)).
