A review of point cloud segmentation for understanding 3D indoor scenes
Abstract: Point cloud segmentation is an essential task in three-dimensional (3D) vision and intelligence. It is a critical step in understanding 3D scenes with a variety of applications. With the rapid development of 3D scanning devices, point cloud data have become increasingly available to researchers. Recent advances in deep learning are driving advances in point cloud segmentation research and applications. This paper presents a comprehensive review of recent progress in point cloud segmentation for understanding 3D indoor scenes. First, we present public point cloud datasets, which are the foundation for research in this area. Second, we briefly review previous segmentation methods based on geometry. Then, learning-based segmentation methods with multi-views and voxels are presented. Next, we provide an overview of learning-based point cloud segmentation, ranging from semantic segmentation to instance segmentation. Based on the annotation level, these methods are categorized into fully supervised and weakly supervised methods. Finally, we discuss open challenges and research directions in the future.
