What is 3D Cuboid Annotation?

3D Cuboid annotation involves placing a three-dimensional bounding box around objects in images or video frames. Unlike 2D bounding boxes, 3D cuboids provide depth, orientation, and spatial context—making it a critical tool for real-world object detection and tracking, especially in autonomous systems and robotics.
