• Abstract: Point clouds are often sparse and incomplete, which imposes difficulties for real-world applications. Existing shape completion methods tend to generate rough shapes without fine-grained details. Considering this, we introduce a two-branch network for shape completion. The first branch is a cascaded shape completion sub-network to synthesize complete objects, where we propose to use the partial input together with the coarse output to preserve the object details during the dense point reconstruction. The second branch is an auto-encoder to reconstruct the original partial input. The two branches share a same feature extractor to learn an accurate global feature for shape completion. Furthermore, we propose two strategies to enable the training of our network when ground truth data are not available. This is to mitigate the dependence of existing approaches on large amounts of ground truth training data that are often difficult to obtain in real-world applications. Additionally, our proposed strategies are also able to improve the reconstruction quality for fully supervised learning. We verify our approach in self-supervised, semi-supervised and fully supervised settings with superior performances. Quantitative and qualitative results on different datasets demonstrate that our method achieves more realistic outputs than state-of-the-art approaches on the point cloud completion task.

  Point cloud completion aims to recover the complete shape based on a partial observation. Existing methods require either complete point clouds or multiple partial observations of the same object for learning. We present Partial2Complete, the first self-supervised framework that completes point cloud objects.

  We introduce a data-driven shape completion approach that focuses on completing geometric details of missing regions of 3D shapes. Our key insight is to copy and deform patches from the partial input to complete missing regions. We leverage repeating patterns by retrieving patches from the partial input, and learn global structural priors by using a neural network to guide the retrieval and deformation steps.

  We develop a voxel-based network for point cloud completion by leveraging edge generation (VE-PCN) We first embed point clouds into regular voxel grids, and then generate complete objects with the help of the hallucinated shape edges. This decoupled architecture together with a multi-scale grid feature learning is able to generate more realistic on-surface details.

  It is expensive and tedious to obtain large scale paired sparse-canned point sets for training from real scanned sparse data. We propose a self-supervised point cloud upsampling network, named SPU-Net, to capture the inherent upsampling patterns of points lying on the underlying object surface. We conduct various experiments on both synthetic and real-scanned datasets, and the results demonstrate that we achieve comparable performance to the state-of-the-art supervised methods.
