• Abstract summary: 3D semantic segmentation is an essential process in the creation of a safe autonomous driving system. Deep learning models for 3D semantic segmentation often suffer from the class imbalance problem and out-of-distribution data. In this study, we explore how the class imbalance problem affects 3DSS performance and whether the model can detect the category prediction correctness.

• Abstract: 3D semantic segmentation (3DSS) is an essential process in the creation of a safe autonomous driving system. However, deep learning models for 3D semantic segmentation often suffer from the class imbalance problem and out-of-distribution (OOD) data. In this study, we explore how the class imbalance problem affects 3DSS performance and whether the model can detect the category prediction correctness, or whether data is ID (in-distribution) or OOD. For these purposes, we conduct two experiments using three representative 3DSS models and five trust scoring methods, and conduct both a confusion and feature analysis of each class. Furthermore, a data augmentation method for the 3D LiDAR dataset is proposed to create a new dataset based on SemanticKITTI and SemanticPOSS, called AugKITTI. We propose the wPre metric and TSD for a more in-depth analysis of the results, and follow are proposals with an insightful discussion. Based on the experimental results, we find that: (1) the classes are not only imbalanced in their data size but also in the basic properties of each semantic category. (2) The intraclass diversity and interclass ambiguity make class learning difficult and greatly limit the models' performance, creating the challenges of semantic and data gaps. (3) The trust scores are unreliable for classes whose features are confused with other classes. For 3DSS models, those misclassified ID classes and OODs may also be given high trust scores, making the 3DSS predictions unreliable, and leading to the challenges in judging 3DSS result trustworthiness. All of these outcomes point to several research directions for improving the performance and reliability of the 3DSS models used for real-world applications.

  Semi-supervised learning (SSL) leverages limited labeled and abundant unlabeled data but often faces challenges with data imbalance. This study investigates class-level confidence as an indicator of learning status in 3D SSL, proposing a novel method that utilizes dynamic thresholding. A re-sampling strategy is also introduced to mitigate bias towards well-represented classes, ensuring equitable class representation.
