MFSM-Net: Multimodal Feature Fusion for the Semantic Segmentation of Urban-Scale Textured 3D Meshes by Xinjie Hao, Jiahui Wang, Wei Leng, Rongting Zhang, Guangyun Zhang

“…The 2D feature extraction branch employs orthographic views of city scenes captured from a top-down perspective and uses a U-Net to extract high-level 2D features. To align features across 2D and 3D modalities, a Bridge view-based alignment algorithm is proposed, which visualizes the 3D mesh indices to establish pixel-level associations with orthographic views, achieving the precise alignment of multimodal features. …”
