• Abstract: Semantic labelling is highly correlated with geometry and radiance reconstruction, as scene entities with similar shape and appearance are more likely to come from similar classes. Recent implicit neural reconstruction techniques are appealing as they do not require prior training data, but the same fully self-supervised approach is not possible for semantics because labels are human-defined properties. We extend neural radiance fields (NeRF) to jointly encode semantics with appearance and geometry, so that complete and accurate 2D semantic labels can be achieved using a small amount of in-place annotations specific to the scene. The intrinsic multi-view consistency and smoothness of NeRF benefit semantics by enabling sparse labels to efficiently propagate. We show the benefit of this approach when labels are either sparse or very noisy in room-scale scenes. We demonstrate its advantageous properties in various interesting applications such as an efficient scene labelling tool, novel semantic view synthesis, label denoising, super-resolution, label interpolation and multi-view semantic label fusion in visual semantic mapping systems.

  We introduce the concept of neural semantic image synthesis, which uses neural layouts extracted from pre-trained foundation models as conditioning. We experimentally show that images synthesized via neural semantic image synthesis achieve similar or superior pixel-level alignment of semantic classes. We show that images generated by neural layout conditioning can effectively augment real data for training various perception tasks.

  We propose a class-driven scribble promotion network, which utilizes both scribble annotations and pseudo-labels informed by image-level classes and global semantics for supervision. Experiments on the ScribbleSup dataset with different qualities of scribble annotations outperform all the previous methods, demonstrating the superiority and robustness of our method.

  Generalized Perception NeRF (GP-NeRF) is a novel pipeline that makes the widely used segmentation model and NeRF work compatibly under a unified framework. We propose two self-distillation mechanisms, i.e., the Semantic Distill Loss and the Depth-Guided Semantic Distill Loss, to enhance the discrimination and quality of the semantic field.

  We propose a novel ECGAN for the challenging semantic image synthesis task. The semantic labels do not provide detailed structural information, making it challenging to synthesize local details and structures. The widely adopted CNN operations such as convolution, down-sampling, and normalization usually cause spatial resolution loss. We propose a novel contrastive learning method, which aims to enforce pixel embeddings belonging to the same semantic class to generate more similar image content.

  Multi-label recognition (MLR) with incomplete labels is very challenging. Recent works strive to explore the image-to-label correspondence in the vision-language model, ie, CLIP, to compensate for insufficient annotations. We advocate remedying the deficiency of label supervision for the MLR with incomplete labels by deriving a structured semantic prior.

Our iLabel system requires no training data, yet can densely label scenes more accurately than standard methods. It works in an 'open set' manner, with semantic classes defined on the fly by the user.
