原文摘要
Novel Class Discovery in Point Cloud Segmentation is recently proposed, aiming to leverage knowledge from known classes to automatically segment unlabeled classes within point clouds. The core of this task lies in leveraging the geometric and semantic knowledge of multiple known classes to achieve semantic understanding and segmentation of novel classes.However, existing methods overlook the high-order associations between known and novel classes, relying solely on binary associations for class assignment and novel class reasoning, which leads to less precise semantic segmentation.To address these issues, we introduce a hypergraph structure to model high-order associations among classes, enabling collaborative reasoning from known classes to novel classes, extending beyond traditional binary relations.Additionally, existing methods focus excessively on extracting semantic information when processing point cloud data, neglecting the importance of geometric features. To address this, we introduce Geometric-Aware Prototypes, enhancing the model's ability to capture geometric spatial information.By propagating geometric information through hyperedges, our method enhances the understanding of spatial distributions across classes, improving segmentation accuracy.Significant performance improvements achieved on the SemanticKITTI and SemanticPOSS datasets demonstrate the superiority of our method.
