• Abstract summary: We introduce a new low-level purely rotation-invariant representation to replace common 3D Cartesian coordinates as the network inputs. Also, we present a network architecture to embed these representations into features, encoding local relations between points and their neighbors, and the global shape structure. We evaluate our method on multiple point cloud analysis tasks, including shape classification, part segmentation, and shape retrieval.

• Abstract: Recently, many deep neural networks were designed to process 3D point clouds, but a common drawback is that rotation invariance is not ensured, leading to poor generalization to arbitrary orientations. In this paper, we introduce a new low-level purely rotation-invariant representation to replace common 3D Cartesian coordinates as the network inputs. Also, we present a network architecture to embed these representations into features, encoding local relations between points and their neighbors, and the global shape structure. To alleviate inevitable global information loss caused by the rotation-invariant representations, we further introduce a region relation convolution to encode local and non-local information. We evaluate our method on multiple point cloud analysis tasks, including shape classification, part segmentation, and shape retrieval. Experimental results show that our method achieves consistent, and also the best performance, on inputs at arbitrary orientations, compared with the state-of-the-arts.

  3D point clouds deep learning is a promising field of research that allows a neural network to learn features of point clouds directly. We propose a simple yet effective convolution operator that enhances feature distinction by designing powerful rotation invariant features from the local regions. Our network architecture can capture both local and global context by simply tuning the neighborhood size in each convolution layer.

  This paper introduces Neural Subdivision, a novel framework for data-driven coarseto-fine geometry modeling. We optimize for the same set of network weights across all local mesh patches, thus providing an architecture that is not constrained to a specific input mesh, fixed genus, or category. We demonstrate that even when trained on a single high-resolution mesh our method generates reasonable subdivisions for novel shapes.
