LiDAR Dataset and Annotation Formats

An in-depth look into LiDAR dataset formats and annotation types.

LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) is an advanced system mainly used for 3D modeling and topography. LiDAR raw data is not usable by itself; it undergoes processing and annotation to create LiDAR datasets, which are then used to train deep vision models.

In this guide, we will cover:

• LiDAR dataset formats

• LiDAR annotation types

• Choosing the right dataset format

• Common LiDAR dataset issues

LiDAR dataset format matters; it handles storage, transmit, and processing of LiDAR data. Learn More.
