• Abstract summary: Cross-modal domain adaptation has been studied on the paired 2D image and 3D LiDAR data to ease the labeling costs for 3D LiDAR semantic segmentation (3DLSS) in the target domain. This paper studies a new 3DLSS setting where a 2D dataset with semantic annotations and a paired but unannotated 2D image and 3D LiDAR data (target) are available. To achieve 3DLSS in this scenario, we propose Cross-Modal and Cross-Domain Learning (CoMoDaL)

• Abstract: In recent years, cross-modal domain adaptation has been studied on the paired 2D image and 3D LiDAR data to ease the labeling costs for 3D LiDAR semantic segmentation (3DLSS) in the target domain. However, in such a setting the paired 2D and 3D data in the source domain are still collected with additional effort. Since the 2D-3D projections can enable the 3D model to learn semantic information from the 2D counterpart, we ask whether we could further remove the need of source 3D data and only rely on the source 2D images. To answer it, this paper studies a new 3DLSS setting where a 2D dataset (source) with semantic annotations and a paired but unannotated 2D image and 3D LiDAR data (target) are available. To achieve 3DLSS in this scenario, we propose Cross-Modal and Cross-Domain Learning (CoMoDaL). Specifically, our CoMoDaL aims at modeling 1) inter-modal cross-domain distillation between the unpaired source 2D image and target 3D LiDAR data, and 2) the intra-domain cross-modal guidance between the target 2D image and 3D LiDAR data pair. In CoMoDaL, we propose to apply several constraints, such as point-to-pixel and prototype-to-pixel alignments, to associate the semantics in different modalities and domains by constructing mixed samples in two modalities. The experimental results on several datasets show that in the proposed setting, the developed CoMoDaL can achieve segmentation without the supervision of labeled LiDAR data. Ablations are also conducted to provide more analysis. Code will be available publicly.

  We propose a framework to study how to leverage constraints between 2D and 3D domains without requiring any 3D labels. Specifically, we design a feature-level constraint to align LiDAR and image features based on object-aware regions. Second, the output-level constraint is developed to enforce the overlap between 2D and projected 3D box estimations. Third, the training-level constraint is utilized by producing accurate and consistent 3D pseudo-labels that align with the visual data.

Our LWSIS not only exploits the complementary information in multimodal data during training, but also significantly reduces the cost of the dense 2D masks.

  State-of-the-art methods for driving-scene LiDAR-based perception often project the point clouds to 2D space and then process them via 2D convolution.

We propose a new framework for the outdoor LiDAR segmentation, where cylindrical partition and asymmetrical 3D convolution networks are designed to explore the 3D geometric pattern.
