• Title: From CAD models to soft point cloud labels: An automatic annotation pipeline for cheaply supervised 3D semantic segmentation
• Authors: Galadrielle Humblot-Renaux, Simon Buus Jensen, Andreas M{\o}gelmose
• Abstract summary: We propose a fully automatic annotation scheme that takes a raw 3D point cloud with a set of fitted CAD models as input and outputs convincing point-wise labels. Compared with manual annotations, we show that our automatic labels are accurate while drastically reducing the annotation time. We evaluate the label quality and segmentation performance of PointNet++ on a dataset of real industrial point clouds and Scan2CAD, a public dataset of indoor scenes.

• Abstract: We propose a fully automatic annotation scheme that takes a raw 3D point cloud with a set of fitted CAD models as input and outputs convincing point-wise labels that can be used as cheap training data for point cloud segmentation. Compared with manual annotations, we show that our automatic labels are accurate while drastically reducing the annotation time and eliminating the need for manual intervention or dataset-specific parameters. Our labeling pipeline outputs semantic classes and soft point-wise object scores, which can either be binarized into standard one-hot-encoded labels, thresholded into weak labels with ambiguous points left unlabeled, or used directly as soft labels during training. We evaluate the label quality and segmentation performance of PointNet++ on a dataset of real industrial point clouds and Scan2CAD, a public dataset of indoor scenes. Our results indicate that reducing supervision in areas that are more difficult to label automatically is beneficial compared with the conventional approach of naively assigning a hard "best guess" label to every point.

  This work introduces a fully automated 2D/3D labeling framework that can generate labels for RGB-D scans at equal (or better) level of accuracy. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our LabelMaker pipeline by generating significantly better labels for the ScanNet datasets and automatically labelling the previously unlabeled ARKitScenes dataset.

Our model can extract lines under arbitrary scale perturbations, and we use shared EdgeConv encoder layers to train the two segmentation and descriptor heads jointly. Experiments have demonstrated that our line-based registration method is highly competitive to state-of-the-art point-based approaches.

The proposed PointMatch achieves the state-of-the-art performance under various weakly-supervised schemes on both ScanNet-v2 and S3DIS datasets.

  We train a semantic point cloud segmentation network with only a small portion of points being labeled. We propose a cross-sample feature reallocating module to transfer similar features and therefore re-route the gradients across two samples. Our weakly supervised method with only 10% and 1% of labels can produce compatible results with the fully supervised counterpart.
