⬇️Export LiDAR Datasets

Once annotation and validation are complete, export the finalized LiDAR dataset from Datasets > [Project Name].

Before exporting, review the right-side configuration panel.

Pre-Export Validation Checklist

1. Release Version

  • Confirm the correct version (e.g., v1.0) is selected.

  • Click Release New Version if you need to freeze the current state.

Each release version captures:

  • All annotated frames

  • Object instances and class mappings

  • Frame-level metadata

  • Media configuration

Only released versions can be exported.

2. Annotation Summary

Verify object counts (e.g., Pedestrian, Car, Cyclist).

This ensures:

  • No missing annotations

  • No accidental deletions

  • Expected class distribution before export

3. Annotation Opacity (Validation Tool)

The Annotation Opacity slider adjusts bounding box transparency (visual only β€” does not affect export).

Use it to:

  • Check 3D box alignment with the LiDAR point cloud

  • Verify box tightness and orientation

  • Inspect overlapping objects

Best practice:

  • Lower opacity β†’ inspect point cloud density

  • Higher opacity β†’ validate box placement

4. Media Attributes

The Media Attributes section displays essential metadata associated with the selected LiDAR file. This information ensures data consistency, traceability, and export readiness.

Best practice: Review and standardize all required attributes before export to ensure data quality and consistency.

Export Process

1. Open Export Modal

Click Download (top-right).

2. Select Version

Example: v1.0 Always confirm the intended release version.

3. Select Format (LiDAR Supported)

Available formats:

  • KITTI

  • nuScenes

  • Supervisely

  • Custom JSON

  • Custom CSV

Quick Guidance

  • KITTI – Standard 3D object detection format

  • nuScenes – Multi-sensor and calibration support

  • Supervisely – Platform-compatible structure

  • Custom JSON – Flexible structured export

  • Custom CSV – Tabular format for QA/analytics

Export Includes

Depending on format, the package may contain:

  • 3D bounding box parameters (x, y, z, length, width, height, rotation/yaw)

  • Class labels

  • Object instance IDs

  • Frame metadata

  • Sensor metadata

  • Multiview alignment data (if applicable)

  • Media attributes (format-dependent)

Final Step

After confirming version and format:

πŸ‘‰ Click Download

The system generates a structured LiDAR dataset package ready for training or deployment.

Exports include:

  • 3D bounding box coordinates

  • Class labels

  • Frame metadata

  • Multiview alignment data (if applicable)
