Urban Mesh Annotation Tool

Mesh annotation tool for labelling urban scenes. Before you import your model, please check your input mesh is in ascii *.ply format. Note that non-manifold meshes are not supported in this tool. If you still want to use it, please use MeshLab to repair it first. For more information, please visit our project website.

Build from source

Windows with CMake

1. Install Eigen and Qt(>5.6)
2. a modified version of CGAL is provided (folder ./CGAL/), use it in CMake.
3. cd src
4. mkdir build && cd build
5. cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release .. to compile in release mode and not debug
6. make
7. ./UrbanMeshAnnotator

macOS with CMake

1. brew instal eigen
2. brew install qt5
3. a modified version of CGAL is used (folder ./CGAL/), and you need to use that one: export CGAL_DIR=/path/to/CGAL_FOLDER
4. cd src
5. mkdir build && cd build
6. cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release .. to compile in release mode and not debug
7. make
8. ./UrbanMeshAnnotator
