Ground Truth Labeling

Interactive ground truth labeling of multiple signals

Use the Ground Truth Labeler app to label multiple signals representing the same scene. You can label videos, image sequences, and lidar signals such as point cloud sequences. Use labeled ground truth as training data for machine learning and deep learning models, such as object detectors or semantic segmentation networks. To automate the labeling of ground truth data, you can use a built-in automation algorithm or develop your own algorithm. The app also provides APIs for displaying additional time-synchronized signals and for loading custom data sources. To get started labeling a scene, see Get Started with Ground Truth Labelling.
