Abstract
As a lightweight and highly accurate method for nearest-neighbor search in 3D point clouds, approaches based on space-filling curves (SFC) have been proposed. However, due to the inherent properties of SFC, a gap arises between proximity relationships along the SFC and those in the original Euclidean space. In this study, we propose a loss function that reduces the influence of this gap. Specifically, we compute the distances between adjacent points along the SFC and train the model to optimize feature similarity between pairs of points that are distant from each other in the original 3D space. We incorporate the proposed method into a high-performing 3D point cloud segmentation model and evaluate its effectiveness on three datasets. The results demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms conventional methods on both indoor and outdoor point cloud datasets.
