• Abstract: Point cloud data labeling is considered a time-consuming and expensive task in autonomous driving, whereas annotation-free learning training can avoid it by learning point cloud representations from unannotated data. In this paper, we propose AFOV, a novel 3D \textbf{A}nnotation-\textbf{F}ree framework assisted by 2D \textbf{O}pen-\textbf{V}ocabulary segmentation models. It consists of two stages: In the first stage, we innovatively integrate high-quality textual and image features of 2D open-vocabulary models and propose the Tri-Modal contrastive Pre-training (TMP). In the second stage, spatial mapping between point clouds and images is utilized to generate pseudo-labels, enabling cross-modal knowledge distillation. Besides, we introduce the Approximate Flat Interaction (AFI) to address the noise during alignment and label confusion. To validate the superiority of AFOV, extensive experiments are conducted on multiple related datasets. We achieved a record-breaking 47.73\% mIoU on the annotation-free 3D segmentation task in nuScenes, surpassing the previous best model by 3.13\% mIoU. Meanwhile, the performance of fine-tuning with 1\% data on nuScenes and SemanticKITTI reached a remarkable 51.75\% mIoU and 48.14\% mIoU, outperforming all previous pre-trained models

In this scheme, the point cloud pre-trained models learn directly from rich information contained in 2D teacher models.

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