• Abstract summary: We propose a novel divide-and-conquer strategy named PBNet for segmenting point clouds. Our binary clustering divides offset instance points into two categories: high and low density points. PBNet ranks first on the ScanNetV2 official benchmark challenge, achieving the highest mAP.

• Abstract: Instance segmentation on point clouds is crucially important for 3D scene understanding. Most SOTAs adopt distance clustering, which is typically effective but does not perform well in segmenting adjacent objects with the same semantic label (especially when they share neighboring points). Due to the uneven distribution of offset points, these existing methods can hardly cluster all instance points. To this end, we design a novel divide-and-conquer strategy named PBNet that binarizes each point and clusters them separately to segment instances. Our binary clustering divides offset instance points into two categories: high and low density points (HPs vs. LPs). Adjacent objects can be clearly separated by removing LPs, and then be completed and refined by assigning LPs via a neighbor voting method. To suppress potential over-segmentation, we propose to construct local scenes with the weight mask for each instance. As a plug-in, the proposed binary clustering can replace traditional distance clustering and lead to consistent performance gains on many mainstream baselines. A series of experiments on ScanNetV2 and S3DIS datasets indicate the superiority of our model. In particular, PBNet ranks first on the ScanNetV2 official benchmark challenge, achieving the highest mAP. Code will be available publicly at https://github.com/weiguangzhao/PBNet.

  We propose FreePoint, for underexplored unsupervised class-agnostic instance segmentation on point clouds. We represent point features by combining coordinates, colors, and self-supervised deep features. Based on the point features, we segment point clouds into coarse instance masks as pseudo labels, which are used to train a point cloud instance segmentation model.

  GSIP (Green of Indoor Point clouds) is an efficient solution to semantic segmentation of large-scale indoor scene point clouds. GSIP has two novel components: 1) a room-style data pre-processing method that selects a proper subset of points for further processing, and 2) a new feature extractor which is extended from PointHop. Experiments show that GSIP outperforms PointNet in segmentation performance for the S3DIS dataset.
