• Abstract: The success of deep learning methods led to significant breakthroughs in 3-D point cloud processing tasks with applications in remote sensing. Existing methods utilize convolutions that have some limitations, as they assume a uniform input distribution and cannot learn long-range dependencies. Recent works have shown that adding attention in conjunction with these methods improves performance. This raises a question: can attention layers completely replace convolutions? This paper proposes a fully attentional model - {\em Point Transformer}, for deriving a rich point cloud representation. The model's shape classification and retrieval performance are evaluated on a large-scale urban dataset - RoofN3D and a standard benchmark dataset ModelNet40. Extensive experiments are conducted to test the model's robustness to unseen point corruptions for analyzing its effectiveness on real datasets. The proposed method outperforms other state-of-the-art models in the RoofN3D dataset, gives competitive results in the ModelNet40 benchmark, and showcases high robustness to various unseen point corruptions. Furthermore, the model is highly memory and space efficient when compared to other methods.

  Existing verification method for point cloud model is time-expensive and computationally unattainable on large networks. We propose 3DVerifier to tackle both challenges by adopting a linear relaxation function to bound the multiplication layer and combining forward and backward propagation. Our approach achieves an orders-of-magnitude improvement in verification efficiency for the large network, and the obtained certified bounds are also significantly tighter than the state-of-the-art verifiers.
