RaSFNet: Ray-aligned and Scan-aware Fusion Network for LiDAR Semantic Segmentation

RaSFNet introduces a Ray-aligned and Scan-aware Fusion Network for LiDAR semantic segmentation, addressing limitations of projection-based methods by preserving geometric differences within each frustum and modeling spatial relationships across scanning regions. It employs a Ray-Aligned Geometric Distribution Encoding (RAGDE) module, a Scan-Topology-Aware Mamba (STAM) block, and a Range-Constrained Point-Frustum Fusion (RCPFF) mechanism to integrate point cloud geometry, LiDAR scanning characteristics, and range information. The network achieves competitive mIoU scores of 70.2% on SemanticKITTI and 77.7% on nuScenes validation sets.

Lang3DSeg: Annotation-Free Open-Vocabulary 3D Segmentation with Point Transformers

Lang3DSeg introduces a point‑transformer backbone for open‑vocabulary, annotation‑free 3D LiDAR segmentation, trained from scratch without geometric pre‑training. It tackles noise from 2D‑to‑3D label projections by applying a class‑priority rule and truncating projected instances at depth gaps, thereby correcting depth‑ambiguity errors. The method achieves state‑of‑the‑art results on nuScenes (52.8 % mIoU) and SemanticKITTI (41.4 % mIoU) while operating in real‑time on a single LiDAR sweep.
