Novel 3D Annotation Tool for AR Session Data

[wilcobonestroo]

The blog article on https://ai.googleblog.com/2020/03/real-time-3d-object-detection-on-mobile.html describes a "novel annotation tool for use with AR session data" that was used to create the annotated dataset. Which tool is that? Is that tool also available, so that we can 3D annotate our own AR sessions on custom objects?

I read the description of the dataset preparation tool, but it does not describe 3D annotation.

Hi, I am still interested in knowing more about the annotation tool. Does anybody have some idea about the above question?

I am interested in knowing more about the annotation tool too.

There are no plans to release the 3D Annotation tool. We have released the annotated objectron dataset

Why is this tool not being released? It can be useful for all of us

I would also like to vote for release of the annotation tool as I'm currently scouring the web endlessly for something of this nature.

This annotation tool could accelerate a lot of projects dealing with pose annotation. It seems like one of the best tools out there for this purpose. Why not release it?

Is there a way to train a custom object? If the 3D annotation tool is not released, does this mean we can only use the available models like cups, shoes, and others?
