Abstract: A method for assigning a symbol to an object in an image includes receiving the image captured by an imaging device where the symbol may be located within the image. The method further includes receiving, in a first coordinate system, a three-dimensional (3D) location of one or more points that corresponds to pose information indicative of a 3D pose of the object in the image, mapping the 3D location of the one or more points of the object to a 2D location within the image, and assigning the symbol to the object based on a relationship between a 2D location of the symbol in the image and the 2D location of the one or more points of the object in the image.
