Regions Of Interest

The tool supports various shapes for Regions of Interest (ROI) tools to help focus annotation efforts on the most relevant parts of the scene.

These ROI tools help streamline the annotation process, reduce visual clutter, and enhance productivity by focusing only where it matters.

The ROI feature supports:

• Rectangular ROI: Draw rectangular-shaped ROIs by defining the desired dimension.

• Cylinder ROI: Circular ROIs can also be created.

• Multiple ROIs: Create and manage multiple ROI shapes within a single frame.

• Visual Cue: Points inside the defined ROI appear brighter to improve visibility and focus.

Use cases

Customers often require annotations in specific areas, such as:

• The lane directly ahead of the ego vehicle – critical for path planning and obstacle detection.

• A designated area on the opposite side of the road – useful for monitoring incoming traffic or specific scenarios.

• A zone equidistant from the ego vehicle across all sides – helpful for uniform object detection analysis.

• Blind spots caused by the ego vehicle’s size or structure – important for safety-critical annotation tasks.
