To this end, this study investigates segmentation methods that take 3D point cloud datasets of mechanical parts as inputs, and employs an improved PointNet++ deep learning model to solve this extraction difficulty. Firstly, the Set Abstraction module in PointNet++ was modified by incorporating Self-Attention mechanisms to increase interactivity and global correlation among data points. Then, the local feature extraction Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) from PointNet-Transformer was integrated to enhance the feature extraction accuracy. Due to the inherent class imbalance issue, the Focal Tversky Loss is employed as the loss function to ensure that geometric features with relatively lower proportions can be fully trained. Finally, the Statistical filtering algorithm is utilized to mitigate noise and attenuate subtle irregularities, such that the smoothness of geometric features can be substantially enhanced. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed model achieves an accuracy of 86.6% on geometric feature segmentations and a mean Intersection over Union (mIoU) of 0.84.
