3D instance segmentation for laser scanning (LiDAR) point clouds remains a challenge in many remote sensing-related domains. Successful solutions typically rely on supervised deep learning and manual annotations, and consequently focus on objects that can be well delineated through visual inspection and manual labeling of point clouds. However, for tasks with more complex and cluttered scenes, such as in-field plant phenotyping in agriculture, such approaches are often infeasible. In this study, we tackle the task of in-field wheat head instance segmentation directly from terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) point clouds. To address the problem and circumvent the need for manual annotations, we propose a novel two-stage pipeline. To obtain the initial 3D instance proposals, the first stage uses 3D-to-2D multi-view projections, the Grounded SAM pipeline for zero-shot 2D object-centric segmentation, and multi-view label fusion. The second stage uses these initial proposals as noisy pseudo-labels to train a supervised 3D panoptic-style segmentation neural network. Our results demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed approach and show performance improvementsrelative to Wheat3DGS, a recent alternative solution for in-field wheat head instance segmentation without manual 3D annotations based on multi-view RGB images and 3D Gaussian Splatting, showcasing TLS as a competitive sensing alternative. Moreover, the results show that both stages of the proposed pipeline can deliver usable 3D instance segmentation without manual annotations, indicating promising, low-effort transferability to other comparable TLS-based point cloud segmentation tasks.
