09
TEMPORAL LABELS

Tracks & Keyframes

Maintain stable object identities, visibility ranges, and editable keyframes across a point-cloud sequence.

LIDAR ANNOTATION QUALITY ASSURANCE

Build quality into every 3D annotation.

Compare independent scene annotations, check labels against approved references, and resolve issues with the point cloud and frame context in view.

Three annotators compare 3D car cuboids in the same LiDAR scene, with two matching boxes and one geometry mismatch.
01 · Agreement

LiDAR Annotation Consensus

Compare independent annotations of the same LiDAR scene. Review disagreements in 3D geometry, classes, and object properties before approving labels.

LiDAR Annotation Platform FAQs

Answers about point-cloud formats, 3D labeling tools, calibrated camera views, tracking, quality assurance, and versioned datasets.

Talk with the Unitlab team

Which LiDAR and point-cloud formats does Unitlab support?

+

Upload PCD, PLY, and BIN point clouds as individual files, ZIP scenes, or folders. Scene manifests can include multiple LiDAR or radar sensors, calibrated cameras, and frame poses. Unitlab also converts supported nuScenes recordings into scene inputs.

Read LiDAR data preparation

Which 3D annotation types can I use?

+

Unitlab supports oriented 3D cuboids, point segmentation, polylines, polygons, points, and spheres. Linked camera boxes connect to their 3D cuboids. Shared ontologies define classes, conditional properties, and scene-level labels.

Explore 3D annotation types

How do calibrated LiDAR and camera views work together?

+

A scene keeps point clouds and camera images aligned by frame. Supplied calibration and sensor poses let annotators inspect projected 3D shapes, linked camera boxes, and point overlays in the original camera context.

Read camera calibration guide

How do Auto-Tracking, Find Similar, and interpolation work?

+

Find Similar uses a selected object in a calibrated camera image, then fits candidate cuboids to LiDAR points. Auto-Tracking follows camera evidence across frames and creates editable 3D keyframes while preserving manual corrections. Interpolation fills supported geometry between trusted keyframes, and batch view helps review cuboid drift.

Can LiDAR object properties change over time?

+

Yes. Define nested, conditional properties for objects and scenes, then set frame-varying values such as motion state or occlusion. The scene timeline displays object tracks, keyframes, visibility ranges, and property intervals together.

Explore dynamic properties

How is LiDAR annotation quality checked?

Consensus compares independent annotations of a LiDAR scene and opens disagreements for review. Quality Gate checks submissions against hidden approved references. Required-property validation and annotation issues support correction before release. Reviewers can inspect the relevant geometry and frame context.

Read LiDAR quality assurance guide

How can I curate and export LiDAR training datasets?

Organize scenes with folders and tags, filter by labels and review status, and freeze dataset versions. Export UUEF releases containing 3D annotations, temporal tracks, scene metadata, calibration, and point-label arrays for downstream training-data pipelines.
