| Abstract: | This thesis presents insights into how the active learning framework can be effectively implemented into the point cloud semantic segmentation in the railway environment. The active learning framework sets out to drastically reduce the amount of labeled data needed to train an efficient segmentation model. It achieves this by intelligently selecting new batches of data for future training through metrics that tell the algorithm how useful this data would be for the model. The overarching goal of this research is to determine how active learning compares to fully supervised learning. This will be determined by comparing their precision when running inference. In addition to this another goal is to explore the computation time required for active learning compared to fully supervised learning. The main findings in this paper conclude that active learning can provide an alternative to fully supervised learning. We were able to train models with up to 76% (86% for fully supervised) accuracy with using only 16% labeled data. Furthermore by reducing the amount of labeled data that is fed into the training process it is also possible to reduce computation times for the training process by up to 43%. |
