Abstract:

Semantic segmentation of vehicle lidar scene point cloud is the basic work of automatic driving environment perception. In view of the insufficient ability to extract local features and difficulty to capture the global context information of the existing processing method of point cloud in large-scale automatic driving scene, the local and global self-attention encoders are designed based on the self-attention mechanism and the feature aggregation module is built for feature extraction. The experimental results show that compared with RandLA-Net, also adopting local feature aggregation, the method proposed can increase the MIoU by 5.7 percentage points on SemanticKITTI dataset, and adding local self-attention encoder also raises the segmentation accuracy of small targets such as vehicles and pedestrians by more than 2 percentage points.

Key words: semantic segmentation, large-scale point cloud, self-attention mechanism
