• Abstract summary: We propose a novel framework to learn 3D point cloud semantics from 2D multi-view image observations containing pose error. A hierarchical full attention network(HiFANet) is designed to sequentially aggregates patch, bag-of-frames and inter-point semantic cues. Experiment results show that the proposed framework outperforms existing 3D point cloud based methods significantly.

• Abstract: We propose a novel framework to learn 3D point cloud semantics from 2D multi-view image observations containing pose error. On the one hand, directly learning from the massive, unstructured and unordered 3D point cloud is computationally and algorithmically more difficult than learning from compactly-organized and context-rich 2D RGB images. On the other hand, both LiDAR point cloud and RGB images are captured in standard automated-driving datasets. This motivates us to conduct a "task transfer" paradigm so that 3D semantic segmentation benefits from aggregating 2D semantic cues, albeit pose noises are contained in 2D image observations. Among all difficulties, pose noise and erroneous prediction from 2D semantic segmentation approaches are the main challenges for the task transfer. To alleviate the influence of those factor, we perceive each 3D point using multi-view images and for each single image a patch observation is associated. Moreover, the semantic labels of a block of neighboring 3D points are predicted simultaneously, enabling us to exploit the point structure prior to further improve the performance. A hierarchical full attention network~(HiFANet) is designed to sequentially aggregates patch, bag-of-frames and inter-point semantic cues, with hierarchical attention mechanism tailored for different level of semantic cues. Also, each preceding attention block largely reduces the feature size before feeding to the next attention block, making our framework slim. Experiment results on Semantic-KITTI show that the proposed framework outperforms existing 3D point cloud based methods significantly, it requires much less training data and exhibits tolerance to pose noise.
