To improve the lightweight nature and deployment capability of the model.

Main Methods:

Developed a memory enhancement learning mechanism with a memory module for key semantic features.
Implemented a channel attention mechanism to refine feature expression and weighting.
Utilized deep separable convolution for a lightweight model architecture, reducing parameter count.

Main Results:

The proposed network significantly improves 3D semantic segmentation accuracy.
Achieved an average accuracy improvement of 7.15% compared to control methods.
Demonstrated enhanced extraction of key features and improved handling of imbalanced datasets.

Conclusions:

The novel network effectively enhances 3D semantic segmentation accuracy for intelligent mining shovels.
The memory enhancement and attention mechanisms successfully address data imbalance and feature representation issues.
The lightweight design improves model deployability, contributing to safer and more accurate autonomous mining operations.
