## What it is
A Python toolkit for transforming and visualizing the KITTI Object Detection dataset, including volumetric LiDAR point clouds, birdview projections, and 2D/3D bounding boxes on camera images. It is primarily used as Jupyter Notebook scripts and CLI commands for inspecting LiDAR and camera data.

## Use cases
- visualize KITTI LiDAR point clouds with 3D bounding boxes
- project LiDAR data onto camera images
- render birdview LiDAR with detection boxes
- inspect KITTI ground truth and prediction labels
- generate depth maps from KITTI velodyne data
- debug 3D object detection predictions on KITTI

## When to choose
- working with the KITTI Object Detection dataset
- need quick visualization of LiDAR point clouds and 3D boxes
- debugging autonomous driving detection model outputs
- want to project LiDAR onto camera images for sanity checks

## When to avoid
- need a production visualization pipeline for other datasets
- working on macOS since installation is unsupported there
- need real-time or web-based visualization
- require maintained tooling beyond KITTI format

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: data-visualization, computer-vision, image-processing
- domain: computer-vision, autonomous-vehicles, data-visualization
- platform: python
- tags: kitti-dataset, lidar, point-cloud, 3d-object-detection, birdview, mayavi, jupyter-notebook, datasets, linux
