Weakly Supervised 3D

Weakly supervised 3D scene understanding aims to train accurate 3D segmentation models using minimal labeled data, addressing the significant cost and time associated with full annotation. Current research focuses on leveraging techniques like contrastive learning, probabilistic methods for pseudo-label generation, and incorporating information from multiple modalities (e.g., RGB images and text descriptions) to improve segmentation accuracy from sparse annotations. These advancements are crucial for expanding the applicability of 3D scene understanding to diverse domains, including medical imaging and robotics, where fully labeled datasets are often unavailable. The resulting data-efficient methods promise to significantly reduce the annotation burden and accelerate progress in various fields.
