• Abstract: This paper presents new designs of graph convolutional neural networks (GCNs) on 3D meshes for 3D object segmentation and classification. We use the faces of the mesh as basic processing units and represent a 3D mesh as a graph where each node corresponds to a face. To enhance the descriptive power of the graph, we introduce a 1-ring face neighbourhood structure to derive novel multi-dimensional spatial and structure features to represent the graph nodes. Based on this new graph representation, we then design a densely connected graph convolutional block which aggregates local and regional features as the key construction component to build effective and efficient practical GCN models for 3D object classification and segmentation. We will present experimental results to show that our new technique outperforms state of the art where our models are shown to have the smallest number of parameters and consietently achieve the highest accuracies across a number of benchmark datasets. We will also present ablation studies to demonstrate the soundness of our design principles and the effectiveness of our practical models.

• Hierarchical Graph Networks for 3D Human Pose Estimation [50.600944798627786]
  Recent 2D-to-3D human pose estimation works tend to utilize the graph structure formed by the topology of the human skeleton. We argue that this skeletal topology is too sparse to reflect the body structure and suffer from serious 2D-to-3D ambiguity problem. We propose a novel graph convolution network architecture, Hierarchical Graph Networks, to overcome these weaknesses.

  In this paper, we propose a Sphere Node Graph (SN-Graph) to represent 3D objects. Specifically, we extract a certain number of internal spheres (as nodes) from the signed distance field (SDF), and then establish connections (as edges) among the sphere nodes to construct a graph. Experiments conducted on the ModelNet40 dataset show that when there are fewer nodes in the graph or the tested objects are rotated arbitrarily, the classification accuracy of SN-Graph is significantly higher.

  Graph Convolutional Network (GCN) is an emerging technique that performs learning and reasoning on graph data.

We design a new operator named Cross-feature Graph Convolution, which explicitly models the arbitrary-order cross features with complexity linear to feature dimension and order size.
