… investigates learning pixel-wise semantic image segmentation in urban scenes without any manual annotation, just from the raw non-curated data collected by cars which, equipped with cameras and LiDAR sensors, drive around a city.

… First, … propose … cross-modal unsupervised learning of semantic image segmentation by leveraging synchronized LiDAR and image data.

… method is the use of an object proposal module that analyzes the LiDAR point cloud to obtain proposals for spatially consistent objects.

Second, … show that these 3D object proposals can be aligned with the input images and reliably clustered into semantically meaningful pseudo-classes.

Finally, … develop a cross-modal distillation approach that leverages image data partially annotated with the resulting pseudo-classes to train a transformer-based model for image semantic segmentation.

… without any finetuning, and demonstrate significant improvements compared to the current state of the art …
