At Kognic, we're constantly striving to enhance our sensor-fusion data annotation platform based on your valuable feedback. We're thrilled to announce our latest developments designed to significantly boost your productivity. Let's dive into the exciting new features.

Tracking Assist 2.0: faster 3D Box annotation in sequences

Our new Tracking Assist 2.0 feature is a time-saver for annotating dynamic objects with 3D boxes. Available for scenes with a frequency of at least 5Hz, this advanced algorithm offers:

    • Enhanced tracking across sequences
    • Quick accept feature for tracked boxes (shortcut: R)

This update significantly improves efficiency, allowing you to work much faster.

 

Improved 3D Visualization: Line and Lane Direction Indicators

We've made a subtle yet impactful update to our 3D visualization. Direction indicators for lines and lanes now only appear for objects sharing the class of the currently selected object. This change reduces visual clutter and improves clarity when working with multiple objects in a scene.

Centerline and Lane Connection Features: Streamlining Road Modeling

Two new time-saving features have been introduced for road modeling:

    • Centerline: Automatically generate a line in the center of two existing lines or lanes
    • Lane Connection: Create smooth, connecting lines between existing lines or lanes

These features are available for single-frame tasks with world-interpolation set to true, and for aggregated lidars and camera sequence tasks.

 

Live Metrics for My Tasks Dashboard

We've enhanced the My Tasks dashboard with live metrics. Now you can view counts of ongoing tasks alongside completed and expired judgments. Data is aggregated every 10 minutes, providing a near real-time view of your work progress.

These new features represent our ongoing commitment to improving your annotation experience with Kognic. We're excited to see how these tools will enhance your productivity and look forward to sharing more updates in the future.
