• Abstract: In the field of autonomous driving and robotics, point clouds are showing their excellent real-time performance as raw data from most of the mainstream 3D sensors. Therefore, point cloud neural networks have become a popular research direction in recent years. So far, however, there has been little discussion about the explainability of deep neural networks for point clouds. In this paper, we propose new explainability approaches for point cloud deep neural networks based on local surrogate model-based methods to show which components make the main contribution to the classification. Moreover, we propose a quantitative validation method for explainability methods of point clouds which enhances the persuasive power of explainability by dropping the most positive or negative contributing features and monitoring how the classification scores of specific categories change. To enable an intuitive explanation of misclassified instances, we display features with confounding contributions. Our new explainability approach provides a fairly accurate, more intuitive and widely applicable explanation for point cloud classification tasks.

  We propose a new self-supervised method for pre-training the backbone of deep perception models operating on point clouds. The core idea is to train the model on a pretext task which is the reconstruction of the surface on which the 3D points are sampled. The intuition is that if the network is able to reconstruct the scene surface, given only sparse input points, then it probably also captures some fragments of semantic information.

  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.
