Abstract
Systems and methods for obtaining 3D point-level segmentation of 3D point clouds in accordance with various embodiments of the invention are disclosed. One embodiment includes: at least one processor, and a memory containing a segmentation pipeline application. In addition, the segmentation pipeline application configures the at least one processor to: pre-process a 3D point cloud to group 3D points; provide the groups of 3D points to a 3D neural network to generate initial label predictions for the groups of 3D points; interpolate label predictions for individual 3D points based upon initial label predictions for at least two neighboring groups of 3D points including the group of 3D points to which a given individual 3D point belongs; refine the label predictions using a graph neural network; and output a segmented 3D point cloud.
