Semantic parsing of large-scale 3D point clouds is an important research topic in computer vision and remote sensing fields. Most existing approaches utilize hand-crafted features for each modality independently and combine them in a heuristic manner. They often fail to consider the consistency and complementary information among features adequately, which makes them difficult to capture high-level semantic structures. The features learned by most of the current deep learning methods can obtain high-quality image classification results. However, these methods are hard to be applied to recognize 3D point clouds due to unorganized distribution and various point density of data. In this paper, we propose a 3DCNN-DQN-RNN method which fuses the 3D convolutional neural network (CNN), Deep Q-Network (DQN) and Residual recurrent neural network (RNN) for an efficient semantic parsing of large-scale 3D point clouds. In our method, an eye window under control of the 3D CNN and DQN can localize and segment the points of the object class efficiently. The 3D CNN and Residual RNN further extract robust and discriminative features of the points in the eye window, and thus greatly enhance the parsing accuracy of large-scale point clouds. Our method provides an automatic process that maps the raw data to the classification results. It also integrates object localization, segmentation and classification into one framework. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms the state-of-the-art point cloud classification methods.

Point cloud learning has lately attracted increasing attention due to its wide applications in many areas, such as computer vision, autonomous driving, and robotics. As a dominating technique in AI, deep learning has been successfully used to solve v arious 2D vision problems. However, deep learning on point clouds is still in its infancy due to the unique challenges faced by the processing of point clouds with deep neural networks. Recently, deep learning on point clouds has become even thriving, with numerous methods being proposed to address different problems in this area. To stimulate future research, this paper presents a comprehensive review of recent progress in deep learning methods for point clouds. It covers three major tasks, including 3D shape classification, 3D object detection and tracking, and 3D point cloud segmentation. It also presents comparative results on several publicly available datasets, together with insightful observations and inspiring future research directions.

We study the problem of efficient semantic segmentation of large-scale 3D point clouds. By relying on expensive sampling techniques or computationally heavy pre/post-processing steps, most existing approaches are only able to be trained and operate o ver small-scale point clouds. In this paper, we introduce RandLA-Net, an efficient and lightweight neural architecture to directly infer per-point semantics for large-scale point clouds. The key to our approach is to use random point sampling instead of more complex point selection approaches. Although remarkably computation and memory efficient, random sampling can discard key features by chance. To overcome this, we introduce a novel local feature aggregation module to progressively increase the receptive field for each 3D point, thereby effectively preserving geometric details. Comparative experiments show that our RandLA-Net can process 1 million points in a single pass up to 200x faster than existing approaches. Moreover, extensive experiments on five large-scale point cloud datasets, including Semantic3D, SemanticKITTI, Toronto3D, NPM3D and S3DIS, demonstrate the state-of-the-art semantic segmentation performance of our RandLA-Net.
We propose SparsePipe, an efficient and asynchronous parallelism approach for handling 3D point clouds with multi-GPU training. SparsePipe is built to support 3D sparse data such as point clouds. It achieves this by adopting generalized convolutions with sparse tensor representation to build expressive high-dimensional convolutional neural networks. Compared to dense solutions, the new models can efficiently process irregular point clouds without densely sliding over the entire space, significantly reducing the memory requirements and allowing higher resolutions of the underlying 3D volumes for better performance. SparsePipe exploits intra-batch parallelism that partitions input data into multiple processors and further improves the training throughput with inter-batch pipelining to overlap communication and computing. Besides, it suitably partitions the model when the GPUs are heterogeneous such that the computing is load-balanced with reduced communication overhead. Using experimental results on an eight-GPU platform, we show that SparsePipe can parallelize effectively and obtain better performance on current point cloud benchmarks for both training and inference, compared to its dense solutions.

We study the problem of labelling effort for semantic segmentation of large-scale 3D point clouds. Existing works usually rely on densely annotated point-level semantic labels to provide supervision for network training. However, in real-world scenar ios that contain billions of points, it is impractical and extremely costly to manually annotate every single point. In this paper, we first investigate whether dense 3D labels are truly required for learning meaningful semantic representations. Interestingly, we find that the segmentation performance of existing works only drops slightly given as few as 1% of the annotations. However, beyond this point (e.g. 1 per thousand and below) existing techniques fail catastrophically. To this end, we propose a new weak supervision method to implicitly augment the total amount of available supervision signals, by leveraging the semantic similarity between neighboring points. Extensive experiments demonstrate that the proposed Semantic Query Network (SQN) achieves state-of-the-art performance on six large-scale open datasets under weak supervision schemes, while requiring only 1000x fewer labeled points for training.
