• Abstract: Fine-grained damage classification of 3D point cloud data (PCD) remains a persistent challenge, constrained by high computational demands and limited labeled data. This study examines two methods: 3D PCD-based damage assessment (3PDA) algorithm and 2D projection damage assessment (2PDA) In our 3PDA analysis algorithm, TDA is used to derive compact representations of 3D PCD segmented by pointNet, which are then integrated with anomaly detection algorithms to quantify structural degradation. We show that TDA effectively compresses geometric structure from VFM-segmented components into discriminative feature vectors and that anomaly detection models can reliably distinguish components with varying damage severity using only 3D PCD inputs. In the 2D projection analysis algorithm, we leverage large VFMs for granular damage detection by projecting 3D PCD into 2D views. These projections allow VFM based models to achieve competitive classification performance while requiring only a fraction of the computational cost associated with full 3D data processing. Our results demonstrate that 2D VFM pipelines in 2PDA can perform strongly on fine-grained damage classification tasks, highlighting their viability as lightweight, resource-efficient alternatives to traditional 3PDA architectures. Comparative evaluation shows that the 3PDA attains higher accuracy but only for a narrow subset of object geometries and at substantially higher computational cost due to its reliance on TDA and the scarcity of high-fidelity 3D datasets. In contrast, the 2PDA algorithm yields slightly lower accuracy but offers an order of magnitude reduction in time complexity and generalizes across a far broader range of object categories.

  Existing methods tackle the problem in two steps: first depth estimation is performed, a pseudo LiDAR point cloud representation is computed from the depth estimates, and then object detection is performed in 3D space.

Our approach achieves state-of-the-art performance on the challenging KITTI benchmark, with significantly reduced inference time compared with existing methods.
