• Abstract: Semantic segmentation of 3D point clouds relies on training deep models with a large amount of labeled data. However, labeling 3D point clouds is expensive, thus smart approach towards data annotation, a.k.a. active learning is essential to label-efficient point cloud segmentation. In this work, we first propose a more realistic annotation counting scheme so that a fair benchmark is possible. To better exploit labeling budget, we adopt a super-point based active learning strategy where we make use of manifold defined on the point cloud geometry. We further propose active learning strategy to encourage shape level diversity and local spatial consistency constraint. Experiments on two benchmark datasets demonstrate the efficacy of our proposed active learning strategy for label-efficient semantic segmentation of point clouds. Notably, we achieve significant improvement at all levels of annotation budgets and outperform the state-of-the-art methods under the same level of annotation cost.

  In this paper, we propose a novel active learning-based method to tackle this problem. Dubbed SSDR-AL, our method groups the original point clouds into superpoints and selects the most informative and representative ones for label acquisition. To deploy SSDR-AL in a more practical scenario, we design a noise aware iterative labeling scheme to confront the "noisy annotation" problem.
