LSSCC-Net: Integrating Spatial-Feature Aggregation and Adaptive Attention for Large-Scale Point Cloud Semantic Segmentation

Point cloud semantic segmentation is a key technology for applications such as autonomous driving, robotics, and virtual reality. Current approaches are heavily reliant on local relative coordinates and simplistic attention mechanisms to aggregate neighborhood information. This often leads to an ineffective joint representation of geometric perturbations and feature variations, coupled with a lack of adaptive selection for salient features during context fusion. On this basis, we propose LSSCC-Net, a novel segmentation framework based on LACV-Net. First, the spatial-feature dynamic aggregation module is designed to fuse offset information by symmetric interaction between spatial positions and feature channels, thus supplementing local structural information. Second, a dual-dimensional attention mechanism (spatial and channel) is introduced to symmetrically deploy attention modules in both the encoder and decoder, prioritizing salient information extraction. Finally, Lovász-Softmax Loss is used as an auxiliary loss to optimize the training objective. The proposed method is evaluated on two public benchmark datasets. The mIoU on the Toronto3D and S3DIS datasets is 83.6% and 65.2%, respectively. Compared with the baseline LACV-Net, LSSCC-Net showed notable improvements in challenging categories: the IoU for “road mark” and “fence” on Toronto3D increased by 3.6% and 8.1%, respectively. These results indicate that LSSCC-Net more accurately characterizes complex boundaries and fine-grained structures, enhancing segmentation capabilities for small-scale targets and category boundaries.

Abstract

Point cloud semantic segmentation is a key technology for applications such as autonomous driving, robotics, and virtual reality. Current approaches are heavily reliant on local relative coordinates and simplistic attention mechanisms to aggregate neighborhood information. This often leads to an ineffective joint representation of geometric perturbations and feature variations, coupled with a lack of adaptive selection for salient features during context fusion. On this basis, we propose LSSCC-Net, a novel segmentation framework based on LACV-Net. First, the spatial-feature dynamic aggregation module is designed to fuse offset information by symmetric interaction between spatial positions and feature channels, thus supplementing local structural information. Second, a dual-dimensional attention mechanism (spatial and channel) is introduced to symmetrically deploy attention modules in both the encoder and decoder, prioritizing salient information extraction. Finally, Lovász-Softmax Loss is used as an auxiliary loss to optimize the training objective. The proposed method is evaluated on two public benchmark datasets. The mIoU on the Toronto3D and S3DIS datasets is 83.6% and 65.2%, respectively. Compared with the baseline LACV-Net, LSSCC-Net showed notable improvements in challenging categories: the IoU for “road mark” and “fence” on Toronto3D increased by 3.6% and 8.1%, respectively. These results indicate that LSSCC-Net more accurately characterizes complex boundaries and fine-grained structures, enhancing segmentation capabilities for small-scale targets and category boundaries.
