Abstract

En 中文

3D segmentation is a fundamental and challenging problem in computer vision with applications in autonomous driving and robotics. It has received significant attention from the computer vision, graphics and machine learning communities. Conventional methods for 3D segmentation, based on hand-crafted features and machine learning classifiers, lack generalization ability. Driven by their success in 2D computer vision, deep learning techniques have recently become the tool of choice for 3D segmentation tasks. This has led to an influx of many methods in the literature that have been evaluated on different benchmark datasets. Whereas survey papers on RGB-D and point cloud segmentation exist, there is a lack of a recent in-depth survey that covers all 3D data modalities and application domains. This paper fills the gap and comprehensively surveys the recent progress in deep learning-based 3D segmentation techniques. We cover over 230 works from the last six years, analyze their strengths and limitations, and discuss their competitive results on benchmark datasets. The survey provides a summary of the most commonly used pipelines and finally highlights promising research directions for the future.
