Key Points

  • GeoGuideは、学習時に見たことのないカテゴリにも対応するオープンボキャブラリー3D意味セグメンテーションで、従来の2D表現への蒸留中心の手法が抱える幾何学学習の制約や2D誤差の継承を改善することを目的とした新しい枠組みです。
  • Uncertainty-based Superpoint Distillationにより、幾何と意味の特徴を不確実性推定つきで統合し、superpoint内で2D特徴を状況に応じて重み付けしてノイズを抑えつつ弁別情報を保持します。
  • Instance-level Mask Reconstructionでは幾何プリオリを用いてインスタンスごとのマスクを復元し、インスタンス内部の意味的一貫性を高めます。
  • Inter-Instance Relation Consistencyは、幾何・意味の類似度行列を整合させることで、同一カテゴリの物体間の整合性を視点による意味のドリフトを抑えながら校正します。
  • ScanNet v2、Matterport3D、nuScenesの広範な実験で、GeoGuideが既存手法より高い性能を示したと報告されています。

Abstract

Open-vocabulary 3D semantic segmentation aims to segment arbitrary categories beyond the training set. Existing methods predominantly rely on distilling knowledge from 2D open-vocabulary models. However, aligning 3D features to the 2D representation space restricts intrinsic 3D geometric learning and inherits errors from 2D predictions. To address these limitations, we propose GeoGuide, a novel framework that leverages pretrained 3D models to integrate hierarchical geometry-semantic consistency for open-vocabulary 3D segmentation. Specifically, we introduce an Uncertainty-based Superpoint Distillation module to fuse geometric and semantic features for estimating per-point uncertainty, adaptively weighting 2D features within superpoints to suppress noise while preserving discriminative information to enhance local semantic consistency. Furthermore, our Instance-level Mask Reconstruction module leverages geometric priors to enforce semantic consistency within instances by reconstructing complete instance masks. Additionally, our Inter-Instance Relation Consistency module aligns geometric and semantic similarity matrices to calibrate cross-instance consistency for same-category objects, mitigating viewpoint-induced semantic drift. Extensive experiments on ScanNet v2, Matterport3D, and nuScenes demonstrate the superior performance of GeoGuide.
