Abstract
An illustrative point cloud segmentation system generates an instance-wise semantic mask for a particular source image of a set of source images that has been used to construct a 3D point cloud representing a scene that includes one or more objects. The point cloud segmentation system maps a set of 3D points from the 3D point cloud to corresponding 2D points of the particular source image, then labels, based on contours defined by the instance-wise semantic mask to demarcate the one or more objects, the mapped set of 3D points in accordance with where the corresponding 2D point for each mapped 3D point is positioned with respect to the contours. Based on the labeling of the mapped 3D points, the point cloud segmentation system produces a segmented 3D point cloud including an instance-wise segmentation of the one or more objects at the scene. Corresponding methods and systems are also disclosed.
