Edge-Aware 3D Instance Segmentation Network with Intelligent Semantic Prior
Bibliographic record
Abstract
While recent 3D instance segmentation approaches show promising results based on transformer architectures, they often fail to correctly identify instances with similar appearances. They also ambiguously determine edges, leading to multiple misclassifications of adjacent edge points. In this work, we introduce a novel framework, called EASE, to overcome these challenges and improve the perception of complex 3D instances. We first propose a semantic guidance network to leverage rich semantic knowledge from a language model as intelligent priors, enhancing the functional understanding of real-world instances beyond relying solely on geometrical information. We explicitly instruct the basic instance queries using text embeddings of each instance to learn deep semantic details. Further, we utilize the edge prediction module, encouraging the segmentation network to be edge-aware. We extract voxel-wise edge maps from point features and use them as auxiliary information for learning edge cues. In our extensive experiments on large-scale benchmarks, ScanNetV2, ScanNet200, S3DIS, and STPLS3D, our EASE outperforms existing state-of-the-art models, demonstrating its superior performance.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
