Abstract The data-hungry nature of deep learning and the high cost of annotating point-level labels make it difficult to apply semantic segmentation methods to indoor point cloud scenes. Therefore, exploring how to make point cloud segmentation methods less rely on point-level labels is a promising research topic. In this paper, we introduce a weakly supervised framework for semantic segmentation on indoor point clouds. To reduce the labor cost in data annotation, we use image-level weak labels that only indicate the classes that appeared in the rendered images of point clouds. The experiments validate the effectiveness and scalability of our framework. Our segmentation results on both ScanNet and S3DIS datasets outperform the state-of-the-art method using a similar level of weak supervision.
