Data Annotation

Complex Label Taxonomy

Scene #1

The resulting accuracy is consistently higher than what a human or synthetic labeling approach can achieve independently as measured against seven rigorous quality areas for each annotation.

The CADC includes 3D Bounding boxes for X object classes and a rich set of class attributes related to X, Y. For detailed definitions of each class and example images, please see the annotation instructions.
