MFFTNet: A Novel 3D Point Cloud Segmentation Network Based on Multi-Scale Feature Fusion and Transformer Architecture by Hao Bai, Xiongwei Li, Qing Meng, Shulong Zhuo, Lili Yan

“…Intelligent analysis of 3D point clouds has become a frontier in emerging fields such as autonomous driving, digital twins, and the metaverse. Precise segmentation of 3D point clouds is particularly important within these domains; however, it faces several challenges: <xref ref-type="disp-formula" rid="deqn1">(1)</xref> point cloud data inherently lacks structured topological information; <xref ref-type="disp-formula" rid="deqn2">(2)</xref> point cloud shapes are complex and highly variable, making it difficult to utilize semantic priors; and <xref ref-type="disp-formula" rid="deqn3-deqn6">(3)</xref> the sampling process of point clouds may result in sparse and uneven data. …”
