This paper addresses the problem of compression of 3D point cloud sequences that are characterized by moving 3D positions and color attributes. As temporally successive point cloud frames are similar, motion estimation is key to effective compression of these sequences. It however remains a challenging problem as the point cloud frames have varying numbers of points without explicit correspondence information. We represent the time-varying geometry of these sequences with a set of graphs, and consider 3D positions and color attributes of the points clouds as signals on the vertices of the graphs. We then cast motion estimation as a feature matching problem between successive graphs. The motion is estimated on a sparse set of representative vertices using new spectral graph wavelet descriptors. A dense motion field is eventually interpolated by solving a graph-based regularization problem. The estimated motion is finally used for removing the temporal redundancy in the predictive coding of the 3D positions and the color characteristics of the point cloud sequences. Experimental results demonstrate that our method is able to accurately estimate the motion between consecutive frames. Moreover, motion estimation is shown to bring significant improvement in terms of the overall compression performance of the sequence. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first paper that exploits both the spatial correlation inside each frame (through the graph) and the temporal correlation between the frames (through the motion estimation) to compress the color and the geometry of 3D point cloud sequences in an efficient way.

With the rapid development of measurement technology, LiDAR and depth cameras are widely used in the perception of the 3D environment. Recent learning based methods for robot perception most focus on the image or video, but deep learning methods for
dynamic 3D point cloud sequences are underexplored. Therefore, developing efficient and accurate perception method compatible with these advanced instruments is pivotal to autonomous driving and service robots. An Anchor-based Spatio-Temporal Attention 3D Convolution operation (ASTA3DConv) is proposed in this paper to process dynamic 3D point cloud sequences. The proposed convolution operation builds a regular receptive field around each point by setting several virtual anchors around each point. The features of neighborhood points are firstly aggregated to each anchor based on the spatio-temporal attention mechanism. Then, anchor-based 3D convolution is adopted to aggregate these anchors features to the core points. The proposed method makes better use of the structured information within the local region and learns spatio-temporal embedding features from dynamic 3D point cloud sequences. Anchor-based Spatio-Temporal Attention 3D Convolutional Neural Networks (ASTA3DCNNs) are built for classification and segmentation tasks based on the proposed ASTA3DConv and evaluated on action recognition and semantic segmentation tasks. The experiments and ablation studies on MSRAction3D and Synthia datasets demonstrate the superior performance and effectiveness of our method for dynamic 3D point cloud sequences. Our method achieves the state-of-the-art performance among the methods with dynamic 3D point cloud sequences as input on MSRAction3D and Synthia datasets.
The prevalence of accessible depth sensing and 3D laser scanning techniques has enabled the convenient acquisition of 3D dynamic point clouds, which provide efficient representation of arbitrarily-shaped objects in motion. Nevertheless, dynamic point
clouds are often perturbed by noise due to hardware, software or other causes. While a plethora of methods have been proposed for static point cloud denoising, few efforts are made for the denoising of dynamic point clouds with varying number of irregularly-sampled points in each frame. In this paper, we represent dynamic point clouds naturally on graphs and address the denoising problem by inferring the underlying graph via spatio-temporal graph learning, exploiting both the intra-frame similarity and inter-frame consistency. Firstly, assuming the availability of a relevant feature vector per node, we pose spatial-temporal graph learning as optimizing a Mahalanobis distance metric $mathbf{M}$, which is formulated as the minimization of graph Laplacian regularizer. Secondly, to ease the optimization of the symmetric and positive definite metric matrix $mathbf{M}$, we decompose it into $mathbf{M}=mathbf{R}^{top}mathbf{R}$ and solve $mathbf{R}$ instead via proximal gradient. Finally, based on the spatial-temporal graph learning, we formulate dynamic point cloud denoising as the joint optimization of the desired point cloud and underlying spatio-temporal graph, which leverages both intra-frame affinities and inter-frame consistency and is solved via alternating minimization. Experimental results show that the proposed method significantly outperforms independent denoising of each frame from state-of-the-art static point cloud denoising approaches.
While current 3D object recognition research mostly focuses on the real-time, onboard scenario, there are many offboard use cases of perception that are largely under-explored, such as using machines to automatically generate high-quality 3D labels.
Existing 3D object detectors fail to satisfy the high-quality requirement for offboard uses due to the limited input and speed constraints. In this paper, we propose a novel offboard 3D object detection pipeline using point cloud sequence data. Observing that different frames capture complementary views of objects, we design the offboard detector to make use of the temporal points through both multi-frame object detection and novel object-centric refinement models. Evaluated on the Waymo Open Dataset, our pipeline named 3D Auto Labeling shows significant gains compared to the state-of-the-art onboard detectors and our offboard baselines. Its performance is even on par with human labels verified through a human label study. Further experiments demonstrate the application of auto labels for semi-supervised learning and provide extensive analysis to validate various design choices.
We propose an approach to instance segmentation from 3D point clouds based on dynamic convolution. This enables it to adapt, at inference, to varying feature and object scales. Doing so avoids some pitfalls of bottom up approaches, including a depend
ence on hyper-parameter tuning and heuristic post-processing pipelines to compensate for the inevitable variability in object sizes, even within a single scene. The representation capability of the network is greatly improved by gathering homogeneous points that have identical semantic categories and close votes for the geometric centroids. Instances are then decoded via several simple convolution layers, where the parameters are generated conditioned on the input. The proposed approach is proposal-free, and instead exploits a convolution process that adapts to the spatial and semantic characteristics of each instance. A light-weight transformer, built on the bottleneck layer, allows the model to capture long-range dependencies, with limited computational overhead. The result is a simple, efficient, and robust approach that yields strong performance on various datasets: ScanNetV2, S3DIS, and PartNet. The consistent improvements on both voxel- and point-based architectures imply the effectiveness of the proposed method. Code is available at: https://git.io/DyCo3D
To improve the viewers Quality of Experience (QoE) and optimize computer graphics applications, 3D model quality assessment (3D-QA) has become an important task in the multimedia area. Point cloud and mesh are the two most widely used digital represe
ntation formats of 3D models, the visual quality of which is quite sensitive to lossy operations like simplification and compression. Therefore, many related studies such as point cloud quality assessment (PCQA) and mesh quality assessment (MQA) have been carried out to measure the caused visual quality degradations. However, a large part of previous studies utilizes full-reference (FR) metrics, which means they may fail to predict the quality level with the absence of the reference 3D model. Furthermore, few 3D-QA metrics are carried out to consider color information, which significantly restricts the effectiveness and scope of application. In this paper, we propose a no-reference (NR) quality assessment metric for colored 3D models represented by both point cloud and mesh. First, we project the 3D models from 3D space into quality-related geometry and color feature domains. Then, the natural scene statistics (NSS) and entropy are utilized to extract quality-aware features. Finally, the Support Vector Regressor (SVR) is employed to regress the quality-aware features into quality scores. Our method is mainly validated on the colored point cloud quality assessment database (SJTU-PCQA) and the colored mesh quality assessment database (CMDM). The experimental results show that the proposed method outperforms all the state-of-art NR 3D-QA metrics and obtains an acceptable gap with the state-of-art FR 3D-QA metrics.
