APNet: Urban-level Scene Segmentation of Aerial Images and Point Clouds
Weijie Wei, Martin R. Oswald, Fatemeh Karimi Nejadasl, Theo Gevers
In this paper, we focus on semantic segmentation method for point clouds of urban scenes. Our fundamental concept revolves around the collaborative utilization of diverse scene representations to benefit from different context information and network architectures. To this end, the proposed network architecture, called APNet, is split into two branches: a point cloud branch and an aerial image branch which input is generated from a point cloud. To leverage the different properties of each branch, we employ a geometry-aware fusion module that is learned to combine the results of each branch. Additional separate losses for each branch avoid that one branch dominates the results, ensure the best performance for each branch individually and explicitly define the input domain of the fusion network assuring it only performs data fusion. Our experiments demonstrate that the fusion output consistently outperforms the individual network branches and that APNet achieves state-of-the-art performance of 65.2 mIoU on the SensatUrban dataset. Upon acceptance, the source code will be made accessible.
