How is pricing structured for your lidar data annotation services?
We offer transparent, highly competitive pricing tailored to your specific modality and volume requirements. For example, autonomous driving road lane annotation is priced reliably at $3/km, while dense 3D indoor scene representations are $100/scan. For platform processing, Abaka Forge credits are just $0.20 USD each, converting unpredictable labeling costs into efficient operational investments.
What is the typical turnaround time for a 3D point cloud dataset?
Turnaround depends on project volume, but our use of Abaka Forge large-model automation enables a 70% reduction in preprocessing time. Standard pilot batches are delivered within week 1-2, and our expert annotators max out at 500 files/day per person for high-volume continuous production pipelines.
Which LiDAR outputs and sensor formats do you support?
We natively support complex spatial modalities including 3D/4D Point Clouds and LiDAR-camera fusion setups. We provide seamless output in industry-standard formats such as PCD, ROS Bag, JSON, and custom schemas required by your specific enterprise robotics or ADAS training environment.
How do you ensure bounding box and segmentation accuracy?
We achieve a guaranteed 99% accuracy rate through our rigorous multi-layer QA framework. Automated pre-labeling establishes a rapid baseline, which is then meticulously reviewed and calibrated by our specialized spatial annotators to eliminate edge-case errors before final delivery.
What security measures protect our proprietary sensor logs?
Security is foundational. We operate strictly under SOC 2 and ISO 27001 standards, alongside GDPR and CCPA compliance. All annotation happens within segregated secure pipelines under strict NDAs, guaranteeing zero exposure of your proprietary model weights or pre-release prototypes.
Can you handle annotation across different geographies?
Yes. We source from a massive pool of over 1 million specialized annotators spread across 50+ countries. This global footprint allows us to seamlessly handle geographic-specific road markings, regional signage, and localized context critical for autonomous navigation models.
How does Abaka AI differentiate from traditional labeling vendors?
We are a trustworthy data partner explicitly focused on frontier AI. We never build models that compete with you, and because we are self-funded and profitable, we operate without VC pressure. Combined with Abaka Forge’s 50x automation speed, we offer an unmatched blend of speed, safety, and exclusivity.
How are changes in ontology or labeling rules handled?
We utilize weekly syncs and continuous feedback loops to instantly adapt to your evolving requirements. When your engineering team updates the ontology or identifies new edge cases, our project managers recalibrate the human-in-the-loop guidelines and pipeline rules without pausing ongoing production.
Do you offer proof-of-concept pilots before full deployment?
Absolutely. Our engagement process typically includes a rigorous Day 0–3 pipeline setup followed by a pilot delivery within the first two weeks. This allows your perception team to validate the 3D bounding box accuracy and format compliance before scaling into high-volume production.
Who owns the labeled data generated by your teams?
Your data is exclusively yours. We maintain full IP provenance and zero copyright risk on all processed information. Your proprietary 3D datasets are never repurposed, resold, or shared with other entities, ensuring complete ownership and long-term protection of your AI assets.
Do we have to use external tools, or is everything integrated?
Everything is fully integrated into Abaka Forge. Our all-in-one platform handles collection, cleaning, annotation, and training seamlessly. This unified ecosystem removes the friction of juggling multiple disjointed software vendors for your sensor fusion pipelines.
Is there a minimum project size for custom LiDAR annotation?
While we support highly elastic scalability for massive, multi-city drive campaigns, we are also equipped to handle specialized, project-based engagements. We work with both early-stage embodied AI startups requiring bespoke indoor mapping and Tier-1 automotive enterprises scaling massive pipelines.
