• Authors: Alexis Mendoza, Alexander Apaza, Ivan Sipiran, Cristian Lopez
• Abstract summary: 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.

• Abstract: 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. By predicting the complete model, the current methods compute redundant information because the output also contains the known incomplete input geometry. 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. Our method is composed of two neural networks: the missing part prediction network and the merging-refinement network. The first module focuses on extracting information from the incomplete input to infer the missing geometry. The second module merges both point clouds and improves the distribution of the points. Our experiments on ShapeNet dataset show that our method outperforms the state-of-the-art methods in point cloud completion. The code of our methods and experiments is available in \url{https://github.com/ivansipiran/Refinement-Point-Cloud-Completion}.

  We propose a novel approach to generate coarse visual explanations of networks designed to classify unstructured 3D data. Our method uses gradients flowing back to the final feature map layers and maps these values as contributions of the corresponding points in the input point cloud. The generality of our approach is tested on various point cloud classification networks, including'single object' networks PointNet, PointNet++, DGCNN, and a'scene' network VoteNet.

  We propose a Graph-Guided Deformation Network, which respectively regards the input data and intermediate generation as controlling and supporting points. Our key insight is to simulate the least square Laplacian deformation process via mesh deformation methods, which brings adaptivity for modeling variation in geometry details. We are the first to refine the point cloud completion task by mimicing traditional graphics algorithms with GCN-guided deformation.
