• Abstract: In this paper, we propose a graph neural network to detect objects from a LiDAR point cloud. Towards this end, we encode the point cloud efficiently in a fixed radius near-neighbors graph. We design a graph neural network, named Point-GNN, to predict the category and shape of the object that each vertex in the graph belongs to. In Point-GNN, we propose an auto-registration mechanism to reduce translation variance, and also design a box merging and scoring operation to combine detections from multiple vertices accurately. Our experiments on the KITTI benchmark show the proposed approach achieves leading accuracy using the point cloud alone and can even surpass fusion-based algorithms. Our results demonstrate the potential of using the graph neural network as a new approach for 3D object detection. The code is available https://github.com/WeijingShi/Point-GNN.

  Point cloud completion is the task of predicting complete geometry from partial observations using a point set representation for a 3D shape. Previous approaches propose neural networks to directly estimate the whole point cloud through encoder-decoder models fed by the incomplete point set. This paper proposes an end-to-end neural network architecture that focuses on computing the missing geometry and merging the known input and the predicted point cloud.

In each layer of the GNN, apart from the linear transformation which maps the per node input features to the corresponding higher level features, a per node masked attention is also performed. The experiments on KITTI dataset show that our method yields comparable results for 3D object detection.

We validate LGR-Net for 3D object detection on the challenging ScanNet and SUN RGB-D datasets.
