Tool features, settings and workflows for efficient annotation

general annotation tool tips and tricks use shortcuts you can find the shortcuts written on multiple locations in the app in the https //docs kognic com/adjustments and settings#xn keyboard shortcuts that you can access from the top menu in tooltips shown when hovering over buttons/menu items if there is a shortcut we generally write it out in a paranthesis next to the description ex "activate auto zoom (alt+k)" on buttons, for example in the drawing dialog and in the class list if the object has https //docs kognic com/classes objects and properties#w5 object properties use the set all mode to place all markings at once use the function https //docs kognic com/classes objects and properties#w5 object properties to speed up setting properties for objects that are similar bounding box with extreme points activate the https //docs kognic com/adjustments and settings#or 2d drawing tool settings to increase your precision when placing the extreme points use the https //docs kognic com/the bounding box with extreme points tool#zx auto zoom in on selected object feature when you are doing a correction task or a sequence task it can help you locate the object faster if you work in a sequence (video) task you can use the https //docs kognic com/the bounding box with extreme points tool#4 in sequences tasks to speed up the tracking of the objects if you work in a 2d/3d fusion task make sure you activate https //docs kognic com/2d 3d fusion tools#k projections center point box use the https //docs kognic com/the center point box tool#vj auto zoom in on selected object feature it will zoom in on the center point box and help you make sure the correct box is assigned 2d polygon use the https //docs kognic com/the polygon tool#m0 lockunlock polygons for faster and more precise annotations to be able to draw faster use the https //docs kognic com/the polygon tool#rp snap to polygon point feature to draw polygons closer to eachother use the https //docs kognic com/the polygon tool#a erasing parts of the polygon when removing large areas of an already drawn polygon ellipse if you work in a sequence (video) task you can use the https //docs kognic com/the ellipse tool#dd in sequence tasks to speed up the tracking of the objects point no specific suggestions line if you work in a sequence (video) task you can use the https //docs kognic com/the line tool#zl in sequence tasks to speed up the tracking of the objects 3d box tools in general, use the recommended workflow for the type of task (image or sequence) and the box tool you are using for the 3d box tools we have a lot of assistive features, which we have included in our recommended "drawing with the tool" workflows if available, use the https //docs kognic com/assistive 3d box features#4h auto adjust box feature box refinement feature to edit the box in one or multiple frames if you are working in a sequence task and want to move the box a larger distance try using the https //docs kognic com/assistive 3d box features#bw smart move box quick refinement feature if the machine assisted box tool is activated for all or some classes in your task make sure you use it correctly read https //docs kognic com/vehicles and trucks and/or https //docs kognic com/signs to see how to use it best if you work in a sequence task where you are required to have the same sized 3d box for an object in every frame you can use the https //docs kognic com/assistive 3d box features#an unify size feature to set it to the same size in all frames it is visible in if you can't see the selected object, use the function https //docs kognic com/assistive 3d box features#5f zoom on selected object to zoom in on it if you work in a 2d/3d fusion task make sure you activate https //docs kognic com/2d 3d fusion tools#k projections
