论文摘要
从预期的观点（例如范围视图（RV）和Bird's-eye-view（BEV））中进行了点云语义细分。不同的视图捕获了点云的不同信息，因此彼此互补。但是，最近基于投影的点云语义分割方法通常会利用一种香草后期的融合策略来预测不同观点，未能从表示学习过程中从几何学角度探索互补信息。在本文中，我们引入了一个几何流动网络（GFNET），以探索以融合方式对准不同视图之间的几何对应关系。具体而言，我们设计了一个新颖的几何流量模块（GFM），以双向对齐并根据端到端学习方案下的几何关系跨不同观点传播互补信息。我们对两个广泛使用的基准数据集（Semantickitti和Nuscenes）进行了广泛的实验，以证明我们的GFNET对基于项目的点云语义分割的有效性。具体而言，GFNET不仅显着提高了每个单独观点的性能，而且还可以在所有基于投影的模型中取得最新的结果。代码可在\ url {https://github.com/haibo-qiu/gfnet}中获得。
Point cloud semantic segmentation from projected views, such as range-view (RV) and bird's-eye-view (BEV), has been intensively investigated. Different views capture different information of point clouds and thus are complementary to each other. However, recent projection-based methods for point cloud semantic segmentation usually utilize a vanilla late fusion strategy for the predictions of different views, failing to explore the complementary information from a geometric perspective during the representation learning. In this paper, we introduce a geometric flow network (GFNet) to explore the geometric correspondence between different views in an align-before-fuse manner. Specifically, we devise a novel geometric flow module (GFM) to bidirectionally align and propagate the complementary information across different views according to geometric relationships under the end-to-end learning scheme. We perform extensive experiments on two widely used benchmark datasets, SemanticKITTI and nuScenes, to demonstrate the effectiveness of our GFNet for project-based point cloud semantic segmentation. Concretely, GFNet not only significantly boosts the performance of each individual view but also achieves state-of-the-art results over all existing projection-based models.
