Detection and classification of road-objects like cars, pedestrians, and cyclists is the first step in autonomous driving. In particular, point-wise object segmentation for 3D point clouds is essential to estimate the precise appearances of the road-objects. In this paper, we propose SPriorSeg, a fast and accurate point-level object segmentation for point clouds by integrating the strengths of deep convolutional auto-encoder and region growing algorithm. Semantic segmentation using the light-weighted convolutional auto-encoder generates semantic prior by labeling a spherical projection image of point clouds pixel-by-pixel with classes of road-objects. The region growing algorithm achieves pixel-wise instance segmentation by taking into account semantic prior and geometric features between neighboring pixels. We build a well-balanced, pixel-level labeled dataset for all classes using 3D bounding boxes and point clouds from the KITTI object dataset. The dataset is employed to train our light-weighted neural network for semantic segmentation and demonstrate the performance of both semantic and instance segmentation of SPriorSeg.
