With well-established datasets, deep networks have been successfully used for semantic segmentation of RGB and RGB-D images. On the other hand, due to the lack of annotated large-scale 3D datasets, semantic segmentation for 3D scenes has not yet been much addressed with deep learning. In this paper, we present a novel framework for generating semantically segmented triangular meshes of reconstructed 3D indoor scenes using volumetric semantic fusion in the reconstruction process. Our method integrates the results of CNN-based 2D semantic segmentation that is applied to the RGB-D stream used for dense surface reconstruction. To reduce the artifacts from noise and uncertainty of single-view semantic segmentation, we introduce adaptive integration for the volumetric semantic fusion and CRF-based semantic label regularization. With these methods, our framework can easily generate a high-quality triangular mesh of the reconstructed 3D scene with dense (i.e., per-vertex) semantic labels. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our semantic segmentation results of 3D scenes achieves the state-of-the-art performance compared to the previous voxel-based and point cloud-based methods.Computing methodologiesReconstructionScene understanding10.1111/cgf.1354425-35
