• Abstract: 3D instance segmentation methods often require fully-annotated dense labels for training, which are costly to obtain. In this paper, we present ClickSeg, a novel click-level weakly supervised 3D instance segmentation method that requires one point per instance annotation merely. Such a problem is very challenging due to the extremely limited labels, which has rarely been solved before. We first develop a baseline weakly-supervised training method, which generates pseudo labels for unlabeled data by the model itself. To utilize the property of click-level annotation setting, we further propose a new training framework. Instead of directly using the model inference way, i.e., mean-shift clustering, to generate the pseudo labels, we propose to use k-means with fixed initial seeds: the annotated points. New similarity metrics are further designed for clustering. Experiments on ScanNetV2 and S3DIS datasets show that the proposed ClickSeg surpasses the previous best weakly supervised instance segmentation result by a large margin (e.g., +9.4% mAP on ScanNetV2). Using 0.02% supervision signals merely, ClickSeg achieves $\sim$90% of the accuracy of the fully-supervised counterpart. Meanwhile, it also achieves state-of-the-art semantic segmentation results among weakly supervised methods that use the same annotation settings.

  3D semantic scene understanding tasks have achieved great success with the emergence of deep learning, but often require a huge amount of manually annotated training data. We propose the first weakly-supervised 3D instance segmentation method that only requires categorical semantic labels as supervision. By generating pseudo instance labels from categorical semantic labels, our designed approach can also assist existing methods for learning 3D instance segmentation at reduced annotation cost.

  We propose One Thing One Click'', meaning that the annotator only needs to label one point per object. We iteratively conduct the training and label propagation, facilitated by a graph propagation module. Our model can be compatible to 3D instance segmentation equipped with a point-clustering strategy.

  We propose a novel weakly supervised method RWSeg that only requires labeling one object with one point. With these sparse weak labels, we introduce a unified framework with two branches to propagate semantic and instance information. Specifically, we propose a Cross-graph Competing Random Walks (CRW) algorithm that encourages competition among different instance graphs.

  We design a weakly supervised point cloud segmentation algorithm that only requires clicking on one point per instance to indicate its location for annotation. With over-segmentation for pre-processing, we extend these location annotations into segments as seg-level labels. We show that our seg-level supervised method (SegGroup) achieves comparable results with the fully annotated point-level supervised methods.
