Abstract

Systems, methods, and machine-readable media for generating a classifier configured to label segments of an image, are discussed. According to one aspect, the system may include a training module, a labeling module, and an update module. The training module may be configured to train a first sub-classifier based on photographic data for a set of pre-labeled image segments and a second sub-classifier based on 3-dimensional point data for the set of pre-labeled image segments. The labeling module may be configured to generate a labeling solution comprising a plurality of associations between an image segment from the set of unlabeled image segments and a label. The update module may be configured to update the set of pre-labeled image segments based on the labeling solution. The training module may also be configured to train the first sub-classifier and the second sub-classifier based on the updated set of pre-labeled image segments.
