Self-supervised Point Transformers Enable Emergent 3D Instance Segmentation

Researchers have developed a novel method called TokenGraph3D for unsupervised 3D instance segmentation using self-supervised point transformers. This approach leverages the internal representations of these transformers, specifically focusing on attention queries and keys, to isolate object instances without relying on traditional geometric priors. The method identifies that the instance signal is concentrated in specific layers and is significantly influenced by rotary position encoding (RoPE), demonstrating its effectiveness on datasets like SemanticKITTI, nuScenes, and Waymo Perception.
