Annotation Tool and Urban Dataset for 3D Point Cloud Semantic Segmentation

Accurate semantic segmentation of unstructured 3D point clouds requires large amount of annotated training data for deep learning. However, there is currently no free specialized software available that can efficiently annotate large 3D point clouds. We fill this gap by introducing PC-Annotate - a p...

description Accurate semantic segmentation of unstructured 3D point clouds requires large amount of annotated training data for deep learning.
