Point set is arguably the most direct approximation of an object or scene surface, yet its practical acquisition often suffers from the shortcoming of being noisy, sparse, and possibly incomplete, which restricts its use for a high-quality surface recovery. Point set upsampling aims to increase its density and regularity such that a better surface recovery could be achieved. The problem is severely ill-posed and challenging, considering that the upsampling target itself is only an approximation of the underlying surface. Motivated to improve the surface approximation via point set upsampling, we identify the factors that are critical to the objective, by pairing the surface approximation error bounds of the input and output point sets. It suggests that given a fixed budget of points in the upsampling result, more points should be distributed onto the surface regions where local curvatures are relatively high. To implement the motivation, we propose a novel design of Curvature-ADaptive Point set Upsampling network (CAD-PU), the core of which is a module of curvature-adaptive feature expansion. To train CAD-PU, we follow the same motivation and propose geometrically intuitive surrogates that approximate discrete notions of surface curvature for the upsampled point set. We further integrate the proposed surrogates into an adversarial learning based curvature minimization objective, which gives a practically effective learning of CAD-PU. We conduct thorough experiments that show the efficacy of our contributions and the advantages of our method over existing ones. Our implementation codes are publicly available at https://github.com/JiehongLin/CAD-PU.

Point cloud upsampling aims to generate dense point clouds from given sparse ones, which is a challenging task due to the irregular and unordered nature of point sets. To address this issue, we present a novel deep learning-based model, called PU-Flo
w,which incorporates normalizing flows and feature interpolation techniques to produce dense points uniformly distributed on the underlying surface. Specifically, we formulate the upsampling process as point interpolation in a latent space, where the interpolation weights are adaptively learned from local geometric context, and exploit the invertible characteristics of normalizing flows to transform points between Euclidean and latent spaces. We evaluate PU-Flow on a wide range of 3D models with sharp features and high-frequency details. Qualitative and quantitative results show that our method outperforms state-of-the-art deep learning-based approaches in terms of reconstruction quality, proximity-to-surface accuracy, and computation efficiency.
Point cloud upsampling is vital for the quality of the mesh in three-dimensional reconstruction. Recent research on point cloud upsampling has achieved great success due to the development of deep learning. However, the existing methods regard point
cloud upsampling of different scale factors as independent tasks. Thus, the methods need to train a specific model for each scale factor, which is both inefficient and impractical for storage and computation in real applications. To address this limitation, in this work, we propose a novel method called ``Meta-PU to firstly support point cloud upsampling of arbitrary scale factors with a single model. In the Meta-PU method, besides the backbone network consisting of residual graph convolution (RGC) blocks, a meta-subnetwork is learned to adjust the weights of the RGC blocks dynamically, and a farthest sampling block is adopted to sample different numbers of points. Together, these two blocks enable our Meta-PU to continuously upsample the point cloud with arbitrary scale factors by using only a single model. In addition, the experiments reveal that training on multiple scales simultaneously is beneficial to each other. Thus, Meta-PU even outperforms the existing methods trained for a specific scale factor only.
Learning an effective representation of 3D point clouds requires a good metric to measure the discrepancy between two 3D point sets, which is non-trivial due to their irregularity. Most of the previous works resort to using the Chamfer discrepancy or
Earth Movers distance, but those metrics are either ineffective in measuring the differences between point clouds or computationally expensive. In this paper, we conduct a systematic study with extensive experiments on distance metrics for 3D point clouds. From this study, we propose to use sliced Wasserstein distance and its variants for learning representations of 3D point clouds. In addition, we introduce a new algorithm to estimate sliced Wasserstein distance that guarantees that the estimated value is close enough to the true one. Experiments show that the sliced Wasserstein distance and its variants allow the neural network to learn a more efficient representation compared to the Chamfer discrepancy. We demonstrate the efficiency of the sliced Wasserstein metric and its variants on several tasks in 3D computer vision including training a point cloud autoencoder, generative modeling, transfer learning, and point cloud registration.
Point clouds produced by 3D scanning are often sparse, non-uniform, and noisy. Recent upsampling approaches aim to generate a dense point set, while achieving both distribution uniformity and proximity-to-surface, and possibly amending small holes, a
ll in a single network. After revisiting the task, we propose to disentangle the task based on its multi-objective nature and formulate two cascaded sub-networks, a dense generator and a spatial refiner. The dense generator infers a coarse but dense output that roughly describes the underlying surface, while the spatial refiner further fine-tunes the coarse output by adjusting the location of each point. Specifically, we design a pair of local and global refinement units in the spatial refiner to evolve a coarse feature map. Also, in the spatial refiner, we regress a per-point offset vector to further adjust the coarse outputs in fine-scale. Extensive qualitative and quantitative results on both synthetic and real-scanned datasets demonstrate the superiority of our method over the state-of-the-arts.
Point cloud learning has lately attracted increasing attention due to its wide applications in many areas, such as computer vision, autonomous driving, and robotics. As a dominating technique in AI, deep learning has been successfully used to solve v

Recently, deep learning on point clouds has become even thriving, with numerous methods being proposed to address different problems in this area. To stimulate future research, this paper presents a comprehensive review of recent progress in deep learning methods for point clouds.
