Rerun Lakehouse Visualizer - VisDrone Video Demo

Interactive drone-view video visualization from the VisDrone 2019 VID dataset stored in the Auraison lakehouse (s3://landing/visdrone/VID/), powered by Rerun SDK. What this demo shows:
  • Streaming a VisDrone video sequence (JPEG frames) from MinIO S3
  • Parsing per-frame bounding box annotations (x,y,w,h,score,category)
  • Logging frames + bbox overlays to Rerun with a frame timeline
  • Saving a portable .rrd recording and serving it in the Rerun web viewer
VisDrone categories: ignored(0), pedestrian(1), people(2), bicycle(3), car(4), van(5), truck(6), tricycle(7), awning-tricycle(8), bus(9), motor(10), others(11) Prerequisites:

Step 1 - Download and Inspect the VID Val Zip

The VisDrone VID val split (1.5 GiB) contains ~58 video sequences:

Step 2 - Parse Annotations

VisDrone annotation format (per-sequence CSV):
  • x, y, w, h in pixel coordinates (top-left origin)
  • category - 1=pedestrian, 4=car, 5=van, 6=truck, 9=bus, 10=motor, …

Step 3 - Log Video Frames + Bounding Boxes to Rerun

Each frame is logged at its frame index on the frame timeline.
  • rr.EncodedImage for JPEG frames (no decode overhead)
  • rr.Boxes2D with per-box category labels and colours

Step 4 - View in Rerun Web Viewer

Open the saved recording in the Rerun web viewer. Scrub the frame timeline to step through drone video with colour-coded bounding box overlays.
