We introduce the Region Adaptive Graph Fourier Transform (RA-GFT) for compression of 3D point cloud attributes. The RA-GFT is a multiresolution transform, formed by combining spatially localized block transforms. We assume the points are organized by a family of nested partitions represented by a rooted tree. At each resolution level, attributes are processed in clusters using block transforms. Each block transform produces a single approximation (DC) coefficient, and various detail (AC) coefficients. The DC coefficients are promoted up the tree to the next (lower resolution) level, where the process can be repeated until reaching the root. Since clusters may have a different numbers of points, each block transform must incorporate the relative importance of each coefficient. For this, we introduce the $mathbf{Q}$-normalized graph Laplacian, and propose using its eigenvectors as the block transform. The RA-GFT achieves better complexity-performance trade-offs than previous approaches. In particular, it outperforms the Region Adaptive Haar Transform (RAHT) by up to 2.5 dB, with a small complexity overhead.

The recently introduced coder based on region-adaptive hierarchical transform (RAHT) for the compression of point clouds attributes, was shown to have a performance competitive with the state-of-the-art, while being much less complex. In the paper Co mpression of 3D Point Clouds Using a Region-Adaptive Hierarchical Transform, top performance was achieved using arithmetic coding (AC), while adaptive run-length Golomb-Rice (RLGR) coding was presented as a lower-performance lower-complexity alternative. However, we have found that by reordering the RAHT coefficients we can largely increase the runs of zeros and significantly increase the performance of the RLGR-based RAHT coder. As a result, the new coder, using ordered coefficients, was shown to outperform all other coders, including AC-based RAHT, at an even lower computational cost. We present new results and plots that should enhance those in the work of Queiroz and Chou to include the new results for RLGR-RAHT. We risk to say, based on the results herein, that RLGR-RAHT with sorted coefficients is the new state-of-the-art in point cloud compression.

To enhance the ability of neural networks to extract local point cloud features and improve their quality, in this paper, we propose a multiscale graph generation method and a self-adaptive graph convolution method. First, we propose a multiscale gra ph generation method for point clouds. This approach transforms point clouds into a structured multiscale graph form that supports multiscale analysis of point clouds in the scale space and can obtain the dimensional features of point cloud data at different scales, thus making it easier to obtain the best point cloud features. Because traditional convolutional neural networks are not applicable to graph data with irregular vertex neighborhoods, this paper presents an sef-adaptive graph convolution kernel that uses the Chebyshev polynomial to fit an irregular convolution filter based on the theory of optimal approximation. In this paper, we adopt max pooling to synthesize the features of different scale maps and generate the point cloud features. In experiments conducted on three widely used public datasets, the proposed method significantly outperforms other state-of-the-art models, demonstrating its effectiveness and generalizability.

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.
Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) have emerged as a powerful strategy for most object detection tasks on 2D images. However, their power has not been fully realised for detecting 3D objects in point clouds directly without converting them to regul ar grids. Existing state-of-art 3D object detection methods aim to recognize 3D objects individually without exploiting their relationships during learning or inference. In this paper, we first propose a strategy that associates the predictions of direction vectors and pseudo geometric centers together leading to a win-win solution for 3D bounding box candidates regression. Secondly, we propose point attention pooling to extract uniform appearance features for each 3D object proposal, benefiting from the learned direction features, semantic features and spatial coordinates of the object points. Finally, the appearance features are used together with the position features to build 3D object-object relationship graphs for all proposals to model their co-existence. We explore the effect of relation graphs on proposals appearance features enhancement under supervised and unsupervised settings. The proposed relation graph network consists of a 3D object proposal generation module and a 3D relation module, makes it an end-to-end trainable network for detecting 3D object in point clouds. Experiments on challenging benchmarks ( SunRGB-Dand ScanNet datasets ) of 3D point clouds show that our algorithm can perform better than the existing state-of-the-art methods.
Point clouds provide intrinsic geometric information and surface context for scene understanding. Existing methods for point cloud segmentation require a large amount of fully labeled data. Using advanced depth sensors, collection of large scale 3D d ataset is no longer a cumbersome process. However, manually producing point-level label on the large scale dataset is time and labor-intensive. In this paper, we propose a weakly supervised approach to predict point-level results using weak labels on 3D point clouds. We introduce our multi-path region mining module to generate pseudo point-level label from a classification network trained with weak labels. It mines the localization cues for each class from various aspects of the network feature using different attention modules. Then, we use the point-level pseudo labels to train a point cloud segmentation network in a fully supervised manner. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first method that uses cloud-level weak labels on raw 3D space to train a point cloud semantic segmentation network. In our setting, the 3D weak labels only indicate the classes that appeared in our input sample. We discuss both scene- and subcloud-level weakly labels on raw 3D point cloud data and perform in-depth experiments on them. On ScanNet dataset, our result trained with subcloud-level labels is compatible with some fully supervised methods.
