-                rendered images to estimate its **true vertical height as it appears in the image**,
-                not the real-world length or width of the object.
-                For example:

-                - A pen lying horizontally in the front view → vertical height: 0.01-0.02 m

+            IMPORTANT: Estimating Vertical Height from the First (Front View) Image.
+            - The "vertical height" refers to the real-world vertical size of the object
+            as projected in the first image, aligned with the image's vertical axis.
+            - For flat objects like plates or disks or book, if their face is visible in the front view,
+            use the diameter as the vertical height. If the edge is visible, use the thickness instead.
+            - This is not necessarily the full length of the object, but how tall it appears
+            in the first image vertically, based on its pose and orientation.
+            - For objects(e.g., spoons, forks, writing instruments etc.) at an angle showing in
+            the first image, tilted at 45° will appear shorter vertically than when upright.
+            Estimate the vertical projection of their real length based on its pose.
+            For example:
+              - A pen standing upright in the first view (aligned with the image's vertical axis)
+              full body visible in the first image: → vertical height ≈ 0.14-0.20 m
+              - A pen lying flat in the front view (showing thickness) → vertical height ≈ 0.018-0.025 m
+              - Tilted pen in the first image (e.g., ~45° angle): vertical height ≈ 0.07-0.12 m
+            - Use the rest views(except the first image) to help determine the object's 3D pose and orientation.
+            Assume the object is in real-world scale and estimate the approximate vertical height
+            (in meters) based on how large it appears vertically in the first image.
