### BEV-3D Mode

* This component acts like a toggle to view the point cloud in 2D (Top view) or in its default 3D environment.
* When 2D is toggled ON, the annotator can mark objects in the point cloud from the top view using Rectangle interactions for creating a Cuboid.

<figure><img src="/files/vnJ3FHr9653rsEqxnL3W" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

* When 3D is toggled on, the annotator can mark objects in a point cloud from any angle by dropping a Cuboid.

### Rotation

* This icon is enabled upon selecting any [Cuboid](/annotation-tool/drawing-tools/cuboid.md).
* On using it, the Cudoid Direction get rotated in an anti-clockwise manner.&#x20;
* This helps if the direction of the object has been indicated incorrectly after setting the dimension.
* **Shortcut**: `R Key`

### Sensor

The ego vehicle has multiple LiDAR sensors installed on it. Because the sensors are not time-synced, a staggering effect of the objects around the ego vehicle can be observed in the point cloud (refer to the image below). The user can use the sensor filter and select the sensor points they would like to consider.

<figure><img src="/files/fBP7XvXRkCQaCpjsWfHh" alt="" width="239"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

### Status&#x20;

The Status link on the top right corner is enabled on selecting a [Cuboid](/annotation-tool/drawing-tools/cuboid.md). On clicking it, a box opens with the following details.

1. Class
2. Dimension
3. Instance (if Class has been marked with [Instance](https://docs.imerit-prod.io/annotation-tool/pages/paJknzjTNlzvWVaCQ2EI#id-3.-has-instances))

<figure><img src="/files/mskRrGB6ZpSwoeFycROQ" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

### Issues

* This link gets enabled in the [Audit Tool](/audit-tool.md) after the batch passes through the Nodes defined in the Taskflow, it moves to the Audit stage and gets reviewed by the auditor.&#x20;
* The Auditor raises [Issues](/audit-tool.md#how-to-raise-issues) observed in the form of issue cards as and when they are spotted.&#x20;
* Once auditing is completed, the batch can be reopened by the experts on the Annotation tool with the issue cards visible for them to refer to and resolve the issues.

### Menu Option

<figure><img src="/files/DXgkIY5MMf6H5DAzIRlR" alt="" width="249"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

#### a. Tool Setting

Point Cloud visibility can be configured here

**Timer Range**

* Each point captured by each LiDAR sensor has a timestamp. This timestamp is the time difference between the reference time of the frame and the time of an individual point. This use case occurs when the LiDAR sensors placed on the ego vehicle are not synchronised.
* In the below example, '0' is the frame's reference time and each frame is 100milli seconds apart. Using the Timer Ranger filter, the user can select any range between -49 up to +49 and filter the points in between. Keeping the controls of the slider at the end will show the entire point cloud.

<figure><img src="https://lh7-us.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXdeInDO1ScZAUOqRzTJjLJH6qyXfUphiu94n4fWA0_qgKN3AdJ7J5f2S3bkej1TQ6vxc8_TycIgCELnkNFp8f4L84CJjTEPpCkA5w3jY-HfzqxWJsdKPVByBQU2zHdaDXtEEbn_Wjo3e50TL-dhD14-mQqV?key=lGhAQLv5xC3Ciuwf6zBTGQ" alt="" width="375"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

#### **Point Budget**

* The number of points to be loaded for frames is set here.&#x20;
* By default, the value is set to 5 million.
* When the frame contains more than 5 million points, the tool loads the 5 million points in the viewable area. Panning and zooming in loads the other points. Please note, the tool also loads the previous and next frames for the users benefit and smooth experience.
* With increasing the limit of points, latency is to be expected.

<figure><img src="/files/ncISWjMGPRr4JNFIcXKX" alt="" width="344"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

#### **Enable Eye Dome Lighting**

<figure><img src="/files/0O2tCzVM9wjfM8RdXYMq" alt="" width="344"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

* EDL is a lighting model that accentuates the shapes of objects within a point cloud
* This is done by visually grouping objects that are close in distance and shading their outlines, enhancing the perception of depth.&#x20;

#### **Class Point Brightness**

<figure><img src="/files/m6JC02tYIv3hCVxt7dFH" alt="" width="344"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

* The points that have been classified appear in their class colour.&#x20;
* With the help of this slider, the user can reduce the brightness of those coloured points.

#### **Background**

<figure><img src="/files/v3mixXB57AdHzBR5KkwB" alt="" width="344"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Change the background colour to make use of the different light situations.

#### **Point size modifier**

<figure><img src="/files/2zkOF7fXUog4gtAComt0" alt="" width="341"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Increases/decreases the size of the points on the screen.

#### **Point Colours**

<figure><img src="/files/wfmF7lp6ICE5feON1r0I" alt="" width="335"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

View the points in different colour schemes:

* **Plain Colour:** The points are displayed in a single colour which the user can choose from the palette.
* **Elevation Gradient:** The points are displayed based on their elevation in the point cloud. Cooler colours indicate lower elevation on the Z-axis.&#x20;
* **RGBA:** When the point cloud data contains an RGB field, this information is used to set the colour of the points.
* **Intensity (B-G-Y-R):** When the point cloud files include an intensity field, the intensity values are used to determine the color of the points. Points with intensity values near 0 are assigned a Blue color, while higher intensity values transition through Green and Yellow, with values closest to 1 appearing as Red. Points falling between these thresholds will display a gradient mix of the adjacent colors.
* **Intensity (B-C-T-G-Li-Y-O-R):** Similar to the Intensity (B-G-Y-R)**,** when the point cloud files contain an intensity field, this information is used to set the colour of the points. If the point's intensity lies closer to 0, the colour of the points will be Blue, next threshold is Cyan, Teal, Green, Lime, Yellow, Orange and intenstiy values closest to 1 are Red.
* **Intensity (Rainbow):** When the point cloud files contain an intensity field, the colours are set in the rainbow shade card pattern.
* **Intensity Grayscale:** When the point cloud files contain an intensity field, this information is used to set the colour of the points between white and black and everything between gets a different shade from gray.
* **Classification:** Displays the points based on any pre-labeling segmentation that is loaded on the tool.  Currently, by default, based on the segragation done prior to uploading, the tool displays ground and non-ground points using either Patchwork+.  Based on customers acceptance this information can also be segmented using in-house ML.

#### **Speed Controls**

<figure><img src="/files/ou2WnmZEZpCsNpBcKK2R" alt="" width="335"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

* The speed of a mouse scroll can be calibrated.&#x20;
* The higher the value the further distance is traveled in one scroll.

#### **Regions of Interest**

<div data-full-width="true"><figure><img src="/files/4mDJQeUO6otDsWJ847TT" alt="" width="344"><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

* ROI is the area visually defined for the labelling experts to know the areas that need labelling covered.&#x20;
