The tool provides a semi-automatic labeling function, means the 3D point cloud data (loaded from the PCD file) is first clustered to provide candidates for labeling, each candidate being a point cluster. Then, the user annotating the data, can label each object by indicating candidate's ID, category, and visibility. A flowchart of this process is shown below.
