In this paper, we propose a novel method named GP-Aligner to deal with the problem of non-rigid groupwise point set registration. Compared to previous non-learning approaches, our proposed method gains competitive advantages by leveraging the power of deep neural networks to effectively and efficiently learn to align a large number of highly deformed 3D shapes with superior performance. Unlike most learning-based methods that use an explicit feature encoding network to extract the per-shape features and their correlations, our model leverages a model-free learnable latent descriptor to characterize the group relationship. More specifically, for a given group we first define an optimizable Group Latent Descriptor (GLD) to characterize the gruopwise relationship among a group of point sets. Each GLD is randomly initialized from a Gaussian distribution and then concatenated with the coordinates of each point of the associated point sets in the group. A neural network-based decoder is further constructed to predict the coherent drifts as the desired transformation from input groups of shapes to aligned groups of shapes. During the optimization process, GP-Aligner jointly updates all GLDs and weight parameters of the decoder network towards the minimization of an unsupervised groupwise alignment loss. After optimization, for each group our model coherently drives each point set towards a middle, common position (shape) without specifying one as the target. GP-Aligner does not require large-scale training data for network training and it can directly align groups of point sets in a one-stage optimization process. GP-Aligner shows both accuracy and computational efficiency improvement in comparison with state-of-the-art methods for groupwise point set registration. Moreover, GP-Aligner is shown great efficiency in aligning a large number of groups of real-world 3D shapes.

In this work, we propose UPDesc, an unsupervised method to learn point descriptors for robust point cloud registration. Our work builds upon a recent supervised 3D CNN-based descriptor extraction framework, namely, 3DSmoothNet, which leverages a voxe l-based representation to parameterize the surrounding geometry of interest points. Instead of using a predefined fixed-size local support in voxelization, which potentially limits the access of richer local geometry information, we propose to learn the support size in a data-driven manner. To this end, we design a differentiable voxelization module that can back-propagate gradients to the support size optimization. To optimize descriptor similarity, the prior 3D CNN work and other supervised methods require abundant correspondence labels or pose annotations of point clouds for crafting metric learning losses. Differently, we show that unsupervised learning of descriptor similarity can be achieved by performing geometric registration in networks. Our learning objectives consider descriptor similarity both across and within point clouds without supervision. Through extensive experiments on point cloud registration benchmarks, we show that our learned descriptors yield superior performance over existing unsupervised methods.
Point cloud registration is the process of aligning a pair of point sets via searching for a geometric transformation. Unlike classical optimization-based methods, recent learning-based methods leverage the power of deep learning for registering a pa ir of point sets. In this paper, we propose to develop a novel model that organically integrates the optimization to learning, aiming to address the technical challenges in 3D registration. More specifically, in addition to the deep transformation decoding network, our framework introduce an optimizable deep underline{S}patial underline{C}orrelation underline{R}epresentation (SCR) feature. The SCR feature and weights of the transformation decoder network are jointly updated towards the minimization of an unsupervised alignment loss. We further propose an adaptive Chamfer loss for aligning partial shapes. To verify the performance of our proposed method, we conducted extensive experiments on the ModelNet40 dataset. The results demonstrate that our method achieves significantly better performance than the previous state-of-the-art approaches in the full/partial point set registration task.

We propose a self-supervised method for partial point set registration. While recent proposed learning-based methods have achieved impressive registration performance on the full shape observations, these methods mostly suffer from performance degrad ation when dealing with partial shapes. To bridge the performance gaps between partial point set registration with full point set registration, we proposed to incorporate a shape completion network to benefit the registration process. To achieve this, we design a latent code for each pair of shapes, which can be regarded as a geometric encoding of the target shape. By doing so, our model does need an explicit feature embedding network to learn the feature encodings. More importantly, both our shape completion network and the point set registration network take the shared latent codes as input, which are optimized along with the parameters of two decoder networks in the training process. Therefore, the point set registration process can thus benefit from the joint optimization process of latent codes, which are enforced to represent the information of full shape instead of partial ones. In the inference stage, we fix the network parameter and optimize the latent codes to get the optimal shape completion and registration results. Our proposed method is pure unsupervised and does not need any ground truth supervision. Experiments on the ModelNet40 dataset demonstrate the effectiveness of our model for partial point set registration.
Cross-lingual alignment of word embeddings play an important role in knowledge transfer across languages, for improving machine translation and other multi-lingual applications. Current unsupervised approaches rely on similarities in geometric struct ure of word embedding spaces across languages, to learn structure-preserving linear transformations using adversarial networks and refinement strategies. However, such techniques, in practice, tend to suffer from instability and convergence issues, requiring tedious fine-tuning for precise parameter setting. This paper proposes BioSpere, a novel framework for unsupervised mapping of bi-lingual word embeddings onto a shared vector space, by combining adversarial initialization and refinement procedure with point set registration algorithm used in image processing. We show that our framework alleviates the shortcomings of existing methodologies, and is relatively invariant to variable adversarial learning performance, depicting robustness in terms of parameter choices and training losses. Experimental evaluation on parallel dictionary induction task demonstrates state-of-the-art results for our framework on diverse language pairs.
We introduce a supervised-learning framework for non-rigid point set alignment of a new kind - Displacements on Voxels Networks (DispVoxNets) - which abstracts away from the point set representation and regresses 3D displacement fields on regularly s ampled proxy 3D voxel grids. Thanks to recently released collections of deformable objects with known intra-state correspondences, DispVoxNets learn a deformation model and further priors (e.g., weak point topology preservation) for different object categories such as cloths, human bodies and faces. DispVoxNets cope with large deformations, noise and clustered outliers more robustly than the state-of-the-art. At test time, our approach runs orders of magnitude faster than previous techniques. All properties of DispVoxNets are ascertained numerically and qualitatively in extensive experiments and comparisons to several previous methods.
