LiDAR segmentation research examines sampling strategies for imbalance mitigation

A new research paper explores the effectiveness of different sampling strategies for mitigating class imbalance in LiDAR semantic segmentation. The study found that inverse-frequency weighting can significantly degrade performance, especially for minority classes. Uniform weighting proved effective for structured sampling architectures like KPConv, while random sampling architectures like RandLA-Net benefited less. The research highlights the complex interaction between sampling methods, imbalance severity, and data characteristics in determining successful mitigation approaches for autonomous navigation and urban mapping.
