GSIP: Green Semantic Segmentation of Large-Scale Indoor Point Clouds
An efficient solution to semantic segmentation of large-scale indoor scene point clouds is proposed in this work. It is named GSIP (Green Segmentation of Indoor Point clouds) and its performance is evaluated on a representative large-scale benchmark -- the Stanford 3D Indoor Segmentation (S3DIS) dataset. GSIP has two novel components: 1) a room-style data pre-processing method that selects a proper subset of points for further processing, and 2) a new feature extractor which is extended from PointHop. For the former, sampled points of each room form an input unit. For the latter, the weaknesses of PointHop's feature extraction when extending it to large-scale point clouds are identified and fixed with a simpler processing pipeline. As compared with PointNet, which is a pioneering deep-learning-based solution, GSIP is green since it has significantly lower computational complexity and a much smaller model size. Furthermore, experiments show that GSIP outperforms PointNet in segmentation performance for the S3DIS dataset.
