Zero-shot point cloud segmentation aims to make deep models capable of
recognizing novel objects in point cloud that are unseen in the training phase.
Recent trends favor the pipeline which transfers knowledge from seen classes
with labels to unseen classes without labels. They typically align visual
features with semantic features obtained from word embedding by the supervision
of seen classes' annotations. However, point cloud contains limited information
to fully match with semantic features. In fact, the rich appearance information
of images is a natural complement to the textureless point cloud, which is not
well explored in previous literature. Motivated by this, we propose a novel
multi-modal zero-shot learning method to better utilize the complementary
information of point clouds and images for more accurate visual-semantic
alignment. Extensive experiments are performed in two popular benchmarks, i.e.,
SemanticKITTI and nuScenes, and our method outperforms current SOTA methods
with 52% and 49% improvement on average for unseen class mIoU, respectively.

零射点云分割方法探索了如何识别在训练阶段未见过的点云中的新物体，并利用深度模型从已标记的已知类别转移知识到未标记的未知类别，提出了一种新颖的多模态零射学习方法，以更准确地对齐视觉和语义特征，在两个流行的基准数据集 SemanticKITTI 和 nuScenes 上进行的实验表明，我们的方法在未见类别 mIoU 上分别取得了 52% 和 49% 的提升，超过了当前的最佳方法。
