Learning to Optimally Segment Point Clouds

By Peiyun Hu, David Held, and Deva Ramanan at Carnegie Mellon University.

Introduction

For segmenting LiDAR point clouds, if we score a segmentation by the worst objectness score among its individual segments, there is an algorithm that efficiently finds the optimal worst-case segmentation among an exponentially large number of candidate segmentations. The proposed algorithm takes a pre-processed LIDAR point cloud (top - with background removed) and produces a class-agnostic instance-level segmentation over all foreground points (bottom). We use a different color for each segment and plot an extruded polygon to show the spatial extent.

You can read our paper (open-access) here: https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/abstract/document/8954778.

In this repo, we provide our implementation of this work.

Roadmap

Currently, code release is a work in progress. Below are what I plan to work on next:

  • Update README to describe
    • How to train the objectness model (PointNets) (pointnet2/)
    • How to run segmentation (segment_with_pointnet.py)
    • How to evaluate under-segmentation and over-segmentation (evaluate_under_over*.py)
    • How to evaluate instance-segmentation (evaluate_instance_all.py)
    • How to evaluate existing detectors (evaluate_instance_all.py)
  • Merge evaluate_under_over.py and evaluate_under_over_ovlp_part_ignored.py
    • When evaluating under-segmentation and over-segmentation, we either
      • Ignore objects with overlapping bounding boxes
      • Or ignore points that fall into the overlapping regions
    • Right now, they are highly redundant. I plan to merge them together.
  • Release all pre-trained models.
  • Test training code.
