Data Management

Data Management Sub-Tab

In the DATA MANAGEMENT sub-tab, you have full control over your mesh models, datasets, and trained AI models. This section allows you to efficiently organize and manage your assets by providing options to list, search, inspect, rename, and delete them as needed.

Mesh Models

All objects in the database are displayed in Mesh Models, along with their file name, size and creation date. Using the actions on the right, you can either preview, delete or rename an object. Click the Play button to preview the 3D object.

Datasets

In the Datasets section, the datasets available can be managed. Click the Play button on the right to get detailed information about the dataset. E.g., object class names, dataset split sizes and a sample image from each data type are displayed.

AI Models

Manage pre-trained models and it’s versions in the Trained Segmentation Models and Trained Pose Estimation Models sections. Click on the Extend button on the right to get detailed information on the model, e.g., datasets used to train it, objects it can detect etc.

Hint

A new version of an existing model becomes available when a new model with the similar name, dataset(s) and object(s) is trained.

Data Transfer Sub-Tab

The DATA TRANSFER sub-tab allows you to upload custom object meshes and bin meshes to the database from an external drive. The transfer pipeline would extract key attributes of objects within the uploaded mesh file(s), process them, and store them in the database for various tasks across the lifecycle of a robot application.

Mesh model file requirements

Requirement	Description	Action to take if requirement is not met
File name	Match the object name to the mesh file name or the zip file name if the mesh is zipped in a directory.	None
Extension	The mesh file extension is either `.obj` or `.ply`	Convert the file to `.obj` or `.ply` format using an open-source tool like Blender or MeshLab
Format	The mesh file format is ASCII	Export the file as ASCII format using an open-source tool like Blender or MeshLab
Scale	The mesh is scaled into millimeters	None
Completeness	All faces are triangulated	Triangulate the mesh using an open-source tool like Blender or MeshLab
Axes	The object is aligned w.r.t. principal axes, with Z-direction pointing upwards	None
Texture	Texture is provided as `.png` file with the same file name as the mesh file	None
Color information	Color information is stored in vertices not faces of the mesh	Transfer color information from face to vertex using an open-source tool like Blender or MeshLab
Bins Shape	Rectangular-shaped	None
Bins Orientation	Opening is pointing in +Z direction	None
