Abstract: To address the issues of high computational complexity and information redundancy caused by multi-dimensional feature fusion in 3D point cloud part segmentation,a point cloud part segmentation method based on co-training multi-view subspace clustering is proposed.Firstly,based on superpoint over-segmentation,an affinity graph optimization strategy with symmetry constraints is proposed,which accurately captures the physical structure boundaries of objects while significantly reducing the computational complexity of subsequent clustering.Secondly,targeting the structural characteristics of 3D parts,a multi-feature representation encompassing spatial position,robust representative normals,and customized multi-dimensional geometric attributes is constructed for superpoints.Subsequently,in the co-clustering stage,a co-training multi-view subspace clustering framework is utilized to perform eigendecomposition on the kernel matrix to obtain a robust data representation with low redundancy.This representation learning and the subspace clustering are then alternately optimized to achieve a synergistic evolution of feature dimensionality reduction and clustering accuracy.Finally,a K-nearest neighbor(KNN) majority voting strategy is adopted for the reverse mapping of superpoint labels and boundary smoothing optimization.Experimental results on the ShapeNet and MeshsegBenchmark-1.0 3D point cloud datasets demonstrate that the proposed method effectively overcomes the redundant interference caused by feature fusion and achieves competitive segmentation metrics.Meanwhile,visualization results indicate that the proposed method exhibits highly consistent segmentation performance in parsing local fine structures and preserving complex physical boundaries.The proposed method not only effectively overcomes the computational bottleneck of applying traditional multi-view clustering to large-scale point clouds,but also enhances algorithmic robustness by incorporating heuristic rules,providing a reliable geometry-driven approach for the structural parsing of complex 3D objects.
