Abstract

3D scene understanding is difficult due to the natural hierarchical structures and complicated contextual relationships in the 3d scenes. In this paper, a progressive 3D scene understanding method is proposed. The scene understanding task is decomposed into several different but related tasks, and semantic objects are progressively separated from coarse to fine. It is achieved by stacking multiple segmentation networks. The former network segments the 3D scene at a coarser level and passes the result as context to the latter one for a finer-grained segmentation. For the network training, we build a connection graph (vertices indicating objects and edges' weights indicating contact area between objects), and calculate a maximum spanning tree to generate coarse-to-fine labels. Then we train the stacked network by hierarchical supervision based on the generated coarseto- fine labels. Finally, using the trained model, we can not only obtain better segmentation accuracy at the finest-grained than directly using the segmentation network, but also obtain a hierarchical understanding result of the 3d scene as a bonus.
