The analyses relying on 3D point clouds are an utterly complex task, often involving million of points, but also requiring computationally efficient algorithms because of many real-time applications; e.g. autonomous vehicle. However, point clouds are intrinsically irregular and the points are sparsely distributed in a non-Euclidean space, which normally requires point-wise processing to achieve high performances. Although shared filter matrices and pooling layers in convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are capable of reducing the dimensionality of the problem and extracting high-level information simultaneously, grids and highly regular data format are required as input. In order to balance model performance and complexity, we introduce a novel neural network architecture exploiting local features from a manually subsampled point set. In our network, a recursive farthest point sampling method is firstly applied to efficiently cover the entire point set. Successively, we employ the k-nearest neighbours (knn) algorithm to gather local neighbourhood for each group of the subsampled points. Finally, a multiple layer perceptron (MLP) is applied on the subsampled points and edges that connect corresponding point and neighbours to extract local features. The architecture has been tested for both shape classification and segmentation using the ModelNet40 and ShapeNet part datasets, in order to show that the network achieves the best trade-off in terms of competitive performance when compared to other state-of-the-art algorithms.
Despite the remarkable success of deep learning, optimal convolution operation on point cloud remains indefinite due to its irregular data structure. In this paper, we present Cubic Kernel Convolution (CKConv) that learns to voxelize the features of
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 configurati
Point cloud registration is a fundamental problem in 3D computer vision. Outdoor LiDAR point clouds are typically large-scale and complexly distributed, which makes the registration challenging. In this paper, we propose an efficient hierarchical net
Three-dimensional object recognition has recently achieved great progress thanks to the development of effective point cloud-based learning frameworks, such as PointNet and its extensions. However, existing methods rely heavily on fully connected lay
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
