Abstract: In actual manufacturing environments, electronic components often face occlusion problems, which makes it difficult for traditional point cloud segmentation methods to estimate the pose of objects accurately. To address this challenge, this paper introduces the multi-scale feature learning capability provided by PointNet++ to extract deep collective feature information in local areas of different scales and understand the overall morphology of components in a global context. According to experimental analysis, under the same occlusion level, PointNet++ outperforms the PointNet model, the RANSAC (Random Sample Consensus) algorithm, and the voxelisation method Point-Voxel CNN in terms of segmentation accuracy. The pose estimation method of electronic components studied in this paper is highly applicable in actual mechanical manufacturing environments, can process large-scale data, and meets real-time requirements. It provides the theoretical basis and technical support for solving the positioning and assembly problems of components in actual industrial production.

Keywords: point cloud segmentation; pose estimation; PointNet++ Model; occlusion problems; mechanical manufacturing; random sample consensus.
