• Abstract summary: 3D semantic segmentation is a fundamental building block for several scene understanding applications such as autonomous driving, robotics and AR/VR. Previous methods have utilized hierarchical, iterative methods to fuse semantic and instance information, but they lack learnability in context fusion. This paper presents Segment-Fusion, a novel attention-based method for hierarchical fusion of semantic and instance information.

• Abstract: 3D semantic segmentation is a fundamental building block for several scene understanding applications such as autonomous driving, robotics and AR/VR. Several state-of-the-art semantic segmentation models suffer from the part misclassification problem, wherein parts of the same object are labelled incorrectly. Previous methods have utilized hierarchical, iterative methods to fuse semantic and instance information, but they lack learnability in context fusion, and are computationally complex and heuristic driven. This paper presents Segment-Fusion, a novel attention-based method for hierarchical fusion of semantic and instance information to address the part misclassifications. The presented method includes a graph segmentation algorithm for grouping points into segments that pools point-wise features into segment-wise features, a learnable attention-based network to fuse these segments based on their semantic and instance features, and followed by a simple yet effective connected component labelling algorithm to convert segment features to instance labels. Segment-Fusion can be flexibly employed with any network architecture for semantic/instance segmentation. It improves the qualitative and quantitative performance of several semantic segmentation backbones by upto 5% when evaluated on the ScanNet and S3DIS datasets.

  We propose an approach to semantic segmentation that achieves state-of-the-art supervised performance when applied in a zero-shot setting. This is achieved by replacing each class label with a vector-valued embedding of a short paragraph that describes the class. The resulting merged semantic segmentation dataset of over 2 Million images enables training a model that achieves performance equal to that of state-of-the-art supervised methods on 7 benchmark datasets.

Experimental results on three different aerial segmentation datasets suggest that the proposed method is more effective and efficient than state-of-the-art general semantic segmentation methods.
