Point cloud analysis is very challenging, as the shape implied in irregular points is difficult to capture. In this paper, we propose RS-CNN, namely, Relation-Shape Convolutional Neural Network, which extends regular grid CNN to irregular configuration for point cloud analysis. The key to RS-CNN is learning from relation, i.e., the geometric topology constraint among points. Specifically, the convolutional weight for local point set is forced to learn a high-level relation expression from predefined geometric priors, between a sampled point from this point set and the others. In this way, an inductive local representation with explicit reasoning about the spatial layout of points can be obtained, which leads to much shape awareness and robustness. With this convolution as a basic operator, RS-CNN, a hierarchical architecture can be developed to achieve contextual shape-aware learning for point cloud analysis. Extensive experiments on challenging benchmarks across three tasks verify RS-CNN achieves the state of the arts.

Three-dimensional (3D) shape recognition has drawn much research attention in the field of computer vision. The advances of deep learning encourage various deep models for 3D feature representation. For point cloud and multi-view data, two popular 3D data modalities, different models are proposed with remarkable performance. However the relation between point cloud and views has been rarely investigated. In this paper, we introduce Point-View Relation Network (PVRNet), an effective network designed to well fuse the view features and the point cloud feature with a proposed relation score module. More specifically, based on the relation score module, the point-single-view fusion feature is first extracted by fusing the point cloud feature and each single view feature with point-singe-view relation, then the point-multi-view fusion feature is extracted by fusing the point cloud feature and the features of different number of views with point-multi-view relation. Finally, the point-single-view fusion feature and point-multi-view fusion feature are further combined together to achieve a unified representation for a 3D shape. Our proposed PVRNet has been evaluated on ModelNet40 dataset for 3D shape classification and retrieval. Experimental results indicate our model can achieve significant performance improvement compared with the state-of-the-art models.
Features that are equivariant to a larger group of symmetries have been shown to be more discriminative and powerful in recent studies. However, higher-order equivariant features often come with an exponentially-growing computational cost. Furthermor e, it remains relatively less explored how rotation-equivariant features can be leveraged to tackle 3D shape alignment tasks. While many past approaches have been based on either non-equivariant or invariant descriptors to align 3D shapes, we argue that such tasks may benefit greatly from an equivariant framework. In this paper, we propose an effective and practical SE(3) (3D translation and rotation) equivariant network for point cloud analysis that addresses both problems. First, we present SE(3) separable point convolution, a novel framework that breaks down the 6D convolution into two separable convolutional operators alternatively performed in the 3D Euclidean and SO(3) spaces. This significantly reduces the computational cost without compromising the performance. Second, we introduce an attention layer to effectively harness the expressiveness of the equivariant features. While jointly trained with the network, the attention layer implicitly derives the intrinsic local frame in the feature space and generates attention vectors that can be integrated into different alignment tasks. We evaluate our approach through extensive studies and visual interpretations. The empirical results demonstrate that our proposed model outperforms strong baselines in a variety of benchmarks
In order to achieve better performance for point cloud analysis, many researchers apply deeper neural networks using stacked Multi-Layer-Perceptron (MLP) convolutions over irregular point cloud. However, applying dense MLP convolutions over large amo unt of points (e.g. autonomous driving application) leads to inefficiency in memory and computation. To achieve high performance but less complexity, we propose a deep-wide neural network, called ShufflePointNet, to exploit fine-grained local features and reduce redundancy in parallel using group convolution and channel shuffle operation. Unlike conventional operation that directly applies MLPs on high-dimensional features of point cloud, our model goes wider by splitting features into groups in advance, and each group with certain smaller depth is only responsible for respective MLP operation, which can reduce complexity and allows to encode more useful information. Meanwhile, we connect communication between groups by shuffling groups in feature channel to capture fine-grained features. We claim that, multi-branch method for wider neural networks is also beneficial to feature extraction for point cloud. We present extensive experiments for shape classification task on ModelNet40 dataset and semantic segmentation task on large scale datasets ShapeNet part, S3DIS and KITTI. We further perform ablation study and compare our model to other state-of-the-art algorithms in terms of complexity and accuracy.
Convolutional neural network has made remarkable achievements in classification of idealized point cloud, however, non-idealized point cloud classification is still a challenging task. In this paper, DNDFN, namely, Dual-Neighborhood Deep Fusion Netwo rk, is proposed to deal with this problem. DNDFN has two key points. One is combination of local neighborhood and global neigh-borhood. nearest neighbor (kNN) or ball query can capture the local neighborhood but ignores long-distance dependencies. A trainable neighborhood learning meth-od called TN-Learning is proposed, which can capture the global neighborhood. TN-Learning is combined with them to obtain richer neighborhood information. The other is information transfer convolution (IT-Conv) which can learn the structural information between two points and transfer features through it. Extensive exper-iments on idealized and non-idealized benchmarks across four tasks verify DNDFN achieves the state of the arts.
Discrete point cloud objects lack sufficient shape descriptors of 3D geometries. In this paper, we present a novel method for aggregating hypothetical curves in point clouds. Sequences of connected points (curves) are initially grouped by taking guid ed walks in the point clouds, and then subsequently aggregated back to augment their point-wise features. We provide an effective implementation of the proposed aggregation strategy including a novel curve grouping operator followed by a curve aggregation operator. Our method was benchmarked on several point cloud analysis tasks where we achieved the state-of-the-art classification accuracy of 94.2% on the ModelNet40 classification task, instance IoU of 86.8 on the ShapeNetPart segmentation task, and cosine error of 0.11 on the ModelNet40 normal estimation task.
