This page describes how to use the extension “Image Annotation to Object”
Main Toolbar > Extensions > Image Annotation to Object
The “Image Annotation to Object” extension makes it possible to convert image annotations expressed in pixel coordinates or bounds into 3D coordinates or 3D boxes using pointcloud resource.
Image annotations can be defined for mapping run imagery in pixel coordinates and bounds. The image pixels are converted into 3D coordinates or 3D boxes in a vector file using the mapping run pointcloud.
The 2D annotations and tags are overlayed on the opened image.
Select how the annotations are defined:
Choose how the reference files are structured:
Supported formats are .csv and .xml.
After selecting the target file location and CRS, choose to create 3D point objects or boxes.
The result is an ovf with The pixels_not_converted.txt contains the list of objects that couldn't be converted.
Depending on which source and target options have been set, the used parameters will be enabled.
The thickness of the slices created from camera position to pixel point to search for points.
The maximum distance from the camera to the detected object.
The radius around the vector between camera position and pixel point to search for cluster points.
Tooltip: The cluster size to identify coordinates in the direction from camera position to image position.
The minimum number of points to have a cluster.
The search radius around the direction camera to pixel position to search for the 3D object.
The ground margin used to identify a 3D box reached the ground to be able to end the clustering.
The voxel size used to cluster objects.
The minimum number of points to have a voxel.
