• Title: Weakly Supervised 3D Instance Segmentation without Instance-level Annotations
• Authors: Shichao Dong, Guosheng Lin
• Abstract summary: 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.

• Abstract: 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. To alleviate the annotation cost, we propose the first weakly-supervised 3D instance segmentation method that only requires categorical semantic labels as supervision, and we do not need instance-level labels. The required semantic annotations can be either dense or extreme sparse (e.g. 0.02% of total points). Even without having any instance-related ground-truth, we design an approach to break point clouds into raw fragments and find the most confident samples for learning instance centroids. Furthermore, we construct a recomposed dataset using pseudo instances, which is used to learn our defined multilevel shape-aware objectness signal. An asymmetrical object inference algorithm is followed to process core points and boundary points with different strategies, and generate high-quality pseudo instance labels to guide iterative training. Experiments demonstrate that our method can achieve comparable results with recent fully supervised methods. 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.
