Increases or decreases the opacity of shapes so that you can see less or more of the image behind.

Use case

• Reduce the opacity to check any missing point
• Check the points behind the cuboid

 With this tool, you can easily select a pixel size from 1px to 5px.

Use case

• Depending on the object you are annotating, it can be helpful to change the point size of the point cloud.

Intensity allows you to target your intensity color pallets, making it possible to enhance the color pallet for ground reflective objects.

Intensity values represent how “reflective” the surface of an object is. When it is reflective, like a traffic sign, the values will be on the “High spectrum”. When they have low reflectivity, the values will be on the “Low spectrum”.

Click on the view settings menu. You can define the minimum and maximum intensity values you would like your intensity pallet to be applied. You can play with ranges to find the object you are looking for!

Use case

• This is a relevant feature when you are doing lane marking annotation.
• If you want to only focus on the higher-intensity values.
• If you want to target a specific area of intensity.

Here is an overview of the diferent intensities:

Routes allow you to select objects and visualize their keypoint positions over time, enabling a quick review of object paths and easy detection of any significant deviations. This feature is enabled by default when loading a task but only activates upon object selection.
Use case

• Future Frame Preview: Routes help you visualize how future frames will look, allowing you to check the alignment of keyframes and ensure consistency in object positioning.
• Multi-Object Comparison: When selecting multiple shapes, routes display each object's path, making it easier to compare routes and detect any misalignment or deviations.

The Toggle Orthographic Camera tool lets you change the camera perspective to view the scene from above, providing a clear, undistorted top-down view. This orthographic view allows you to see the scene as a flat projection.

Use Case

Use the Toggle Orthographic Camera to adjust the point cloud view, enabling a comprehensive, overhead perspective of the entire scene. This top-down view is especially useful for analyzing spatial relationships and ensuring accurate positioning within the workspace.

The Toggle Ground tool allows you to remove or hide the ground plane within the 3D workspace.

Use case

• Use the Toggle Ground tool to remove the ground plane, isolating objects within the scene

The “reset camera” tool provides the initial perspective of the point cloud when it was first loaded, based on the sensor location information provided. 

Use case

• This view is situated behind the sensor and offers the same perspective as the 2D front camera view. In most cases, the first view aligns with the direction of the 2D camera, allowing for easy comparison between the two views.

The Toggle Inspect Mode tool enables you to zoom in and focus on a specific annotation within the 3D workspace. By selecting an annotation and activating Inspect Mode, you can isolate and closely examine it without surrounding distractions. This tool is ideal for detailed review and precision adjustments of individual annotations.

Use case

• Zoom in on a specific annotation by selecting the annotation and then clicking on the toggle inspect mode.
• Use this tool when you just want to focus on a single annotation.

The Previous Important Frame and Next Important Frame buttons allow you to navigate through the timeline by jumping directly to each keyframe. This feature enables you to move exclusively through frames that contain annotations, skipping any frames without them.

These buttons allow you to jump forward or backward in the video sequence, five frames at a time.

These buttons allow you to navigate through the timeline one frame at a time.

The focus area shows witch tha starting frame and the ending frame. You an get this information from the frame number and also from the timeline. This tool is useful to see all the annotation details between frames.

Frame count has two functionalities, it shows the current frame where you are, but it is also editable. This means that you can change the frame number and the workspace will show that specific frame. 

The frame timeline is a horizontal slider control that tells the user all the important details about an annotation in a specific frame.
