Navya3DSeg – Navya 3D Semantic Segmentation Dataset split generation for autonomous vehicles
share
Autonomous driving (AD) perception today relies heavily on deep learning based architectures requiring large scale annotated datasets with their associated costs for curation and annotation. The 3D semantic data are useful for core perception tasks such as obstacle detection and ego-vehicle localization. We propose a new dataset, Navya 3D Segmentation (Navya3DSeg), with a diverse label space corresponding to a large scale production grade operational domain, including rural, urban, industrial sites and universities from 13 countries. It contains 23 labeled sequences and 25 supplementary sequences without labels, designed to explore self-supervised and semi-supervised semantic segmentation benchmarks on point clouds. We also propose a novel method for sequential dataset split generation based on iterative multi-label stratification, and demonstrated to achieve a +1.2 improvement over the original split proposed by SemanticKITTI dataset. A complete benchmark for semantic segmentation task was performed, with state of the art methods. Finally, we demonstrate an active learning (AL) based dataset distillation framework. We introduce a novel heuristic-free sampling method called distance sampling in the context of AL. A detailed presentation on the dataset is available at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5m6ALIs-s20 .
