• Abstract: Point cloud is an efficient way of representing and storing 3D geometric data. Deep learning algorithms on point clouds are time and memory efficient. Several methods such as PointNet and FoldingNet have been proposed for processing point clouds. This work proposes an autoencoder based framework to generate robust embeddings for point clouds by utilizing hierarchical information using graph convolution. We perform multiple experiments to assess the quality of embeddings generated by the proposed encoder architecture and visualize the t-SNE map to highlight its ability to distinguish between different object classes. We further demonstrate the applicability of the proposed framework in applications like: 3D point cloud completion and Single image based 3D reconstruction.

  We propose a novel approach to self-supervised learning of point cloud representations by differentiable neural encoders. The learned point-cloud can be easily integrated into various downstream tasks, including not only high-level rendering tasks like 3D detection and segmentation, but low-level tasks like 3D reconstruction and image rendering.

  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 introduce the concept of the multi-view point cloud (Voint cloud) representing each 3D point as a set of features extracted from several view-points. This novel 3D Voint cloud representation combines the compactness of 3D point cloud representation with the natural view-awareness of multi-view representation. We deploy a Voint neural network (VointNet) with a theoretically established functional form to learn representations in the Voint space.
