Abstract Semantic segmentation of point cloud data of architectural cultural heritage is of significant importance for HBIM modeling, disease extraction and analysis, and heritage restoration research fields. In the semantic segmentation task of architectural point cloud data, especially for the protection and analysis of architectural cultural heritage, the previous deep learning methods have poor segmentation effects due to the complexity and unevenness of the data, the high geometric feature similarity between different components, and the large scale changes. To this end, this paper proposes a novel encoder-decoder architecture called DSC-Net. It consists of an encoder-decoder structure based on point random sampling and several fully connected layers for semantic segmentation. To overcome the loss of key features caused by random downsampling, DSC-Net has developed two new feature aggregation schemes: the enhanced dual attention pooling module and the global context feature module, to learn discriminative features for the challenging scenes mentioned above. The former fully considers the topology and semantic similarity of neighboring points, generating attention features that can distinguish categories with similar structures. The latter uses spatial location and neighboring volume ratio to provide an overall view of different types of architectural scenes, helping the network understand the spatial relationships and hierarchical structures between different architectural elements. The proposed modules can be easily embedded into various network architectures for point cloud semantic segmentation. We conducted experiments on multiple datasets, including the ancient architecture dataset, the ArCH architectural cultural heritage dataset, and the publicly available architectural segmentation dataset S3DIS. The results show that the mIoU reached 63.56%, 55.84%, and 71.03% respectively. The experimental results prove that our method has the best segmentation effect in dealing with challenging architectural cultural heritage data and also demonstrates its practicality in a wider range of architectural point cloud segmentation applications. |
