用高阶关系建模点云新类别，提升语义分割准确率

Novel class discovery in point cloud segmentation aims to transfer knowledge from known classes to automatically identify and segment unlabeled novel classes in point clouds. Existing methods mainly rely on pairwise associations for class assignment and novel class reasoning, which limits their ability to capture complex relationships among known and novel classes and may lead to inaccurate semantic segmentation. To address this issue, we introduce a hypergraph-based framework that models high-order associations among classes and enables collaborative reasoning from known classes to novel classes beyond traditional pairwise relations. Moreover, existing methods tend to focus on semantic feature extraction while paying insufficient attention to geometric information in point clouds. To better exploit spatial structure, we propose Geometric-Aware Prototypes to enhance the representation of class-level geometric cues. By propagating geometric information through hyperedges, the proposed method improves the understanding of spatial distributions across classes and leads to more accurate segmentation. Experiments on the SemanticKITTI and SemanticPOSS datasets demonstrate the effectiveness and superiority of our method.
