Quick Guide: How to Create, Manage, Annotate 3DMSF Projects on Ango Hub

3D Multi-Sensor Fusion (3DMSF) assets can only be annotated in projects of the type "3D Multi-Sensor Fusion". See the docs page on 3DMSF projects for more.

Not all Ango Hub functionality is available in 3DMSF projects. Features such as requeuing, plugins, consensus, benchmarking, and others are unavailable. For a full list of feature unavailable in 3DMSF-type projects, please consult this docs page.

Annotating 3D Multi-Sensor Fusion (LiDAR, Point Cloud) assets is not available on private cloud and on-premise deployments of Ango Hub.

Ango Hub can be used to annotate 3D point-cloud, multi-sensor fusion assets. Here are the steps to do so:

Step 1: Create a new 3D MSF-type project

After you have signed up to Ango Hub, ensure you are in the correct organization and click on "Create Project". (You must be an organization admin to see this button):

Selecti the "3D Multi-Sensor Fusion" option, then give a name and optionally a description to your project.

Toggle on or off the configuration toggles as desired. Please refer to this page of the 3DMSF docs for more information on the toggles.

Step 2: Create the project's category schema (aka Recipe)

Once the project has been created, from the project's settings, enter the Category Schema section. Add the PCT and/or classification classes you will use in the project as outlined in the PCT Tool page. See also the 3DMSF documentation for more.

For more details on this step, see the "How to create the category schema in 3DMSF projects" docs page.

Step 3: Invite users to your project

From your project, enter the "Settings" tab, and then the "Members" section.

Click on the "Invite to Project" button:

From the dialog that appears, enter the emails of the users you'd like to add, pick a role for them, and click on "Send Invitations":

Step 3: Configure the project's workflow

Enter the "Workflow" tab, and drag and drop stages to configure your workflow. Please read the documentation page on Workflow for how to use Ango Hub's Workflow Designer.

Step 2: Import PCT data

From the project you have just created, navigate to the Assets tab. Click on Add Data, then on Cloud Upload.

Follow the steps outlined in the Importing Data in the 3D Multi-Sensor Fusion Labeling Tool page to create a conforming data folder and JSON to import.

Step 3: Annotate your data and obtain your export as normal

From this step forward, Ango Hub works normally. Annotators will click on "Start Labeling" to start annotating.

You will be redirected to the Point Cloud tool user interface. Annotate your data as outlined in the 3D Multi-Sensor Fusion Labeling Editor page. When you are done annotating your task, click on Submit on the top-right side of the point cloud tool, and you will be displayed the next asset in the queue.

To go back to Ango Hub, navigate back to imerit.ango.ai from your browser URL bar.

You may obtain your export as normal from the project's Export tab.
