Unsupervised Point Cloud Object Co-Segmentation by Co-Contrastive Learning and Mutual Attention Sampling
Cheng-Kun Yang, Yung-Yu Chuang, Yen-Yu Lin
This paper presents a new task, point cloud object co-segmentation, aiming to segment the common 3D objects in a set of point clouds. We formulate this task as an object point sampling problem, and develop two techniques, the mutual attention module and co-contrastive learning, to enable it. The proposed method employs two point samplers based on deep neural networks, the object sampler and the background sampler. The former targets at sampling points of common objects while the latter focuses on the rest. The mutual attention module explores point-wise correlation across point clouds. It is embedded in both samplers and can identify points with strong cross-cloud correlation from the rest. After extracting features for points selected by the two samplers, we optimize the networks by developing the co-contrastive loss, which minimizes feature discrepancy of the estimated object points while maximizing feature separation between the estimated object and background points. Our method works on point clouds of an arbitrary object class. It is end-to-end trainable and does not need point-level annotations. It is evaluated on the ScanObjectNN and S3DIS datasets and achieves promising results.
