Deep Learning based 3D Segmentation: A Survey
3D object segmentation is a fundamental and challenging problem in computer
vision with applications in autonomous driving, robotics, augmented reality and
medical image analysis. It has received significant attention from the computer
vision, graphics and machine learning communities. Traditionally, 3D
segmentation was performed with hand-crafted features and engineered methods
which failed to achieve acceptable accuracy and could not generalize to
large-scale data. Driven by their great success in 2D computer vision, deep
learning techniques have recently become the tool of choice for 3D segmentation
tasks as well. This has led to an influx of a large number of methods in the
literature that have been evaluated on different benchmark datasets. This paper
provides a comprehensive survey of recent progress in deep learning based 3D
segmentation covering over 150 papers. It summarizes the most commonly used
pipelines, discusses their highlights and shortcomings, and analyzes the
competitive results of these segmentation methods. Based on the analysis, it
also provides promising research directions for the future.Comment: Under review of ACM Computing Surveys, 36 pages, 10 tables, 9 figure
