• Abstract summary: ConDor is a self-supervised method that learns to canonicalize the 3D orientation and position for full and partial 3D point clouds. During inference, our method takes an unseen full or partial 3D point cloud at an arbitrary pose and outputs an equivariant canonical pose.

• Abstract: Progress in 3D object understanding has relied on manually canonicalized shape datasets that contain instances with consistent position and orientation (3D pose). This has made it hard to generalize these methods to in-the-wild shapes, eg., from internet model collections or depth sensors. ConDor is a self-supervised method that learns to Canonicalize the 3D orientation and position for full and partial 3D point clouds. We build on top of Tensor Field Networks (TFNs), a class of permutation- and rotation-equivariant, and translation-invariant 3D networks. During inference, our method takes an unseen full or partial 3D point cloud at an arbitrary pose and outputs an equivariant canonical pose. During training, this network uses self-supervision losses to learn the canonical pose from an un-canonicalized collection of full and partial 3D point clouds. ConDor can also learn to consistently co-segment object parts without any supervision. Extensive quantitative results on four new metrics show that our approach outperforms existing methods while enabling new applications such as operation on depth images and annotation transfer.

  This paper presents U3DS$3$, as a step towards completely unsupervised point cloud segmentation for any holistic 3D scenes. The initial step of our proposed approach involves generating superpoints based on the geometric characteristics of each scene. We then undergo a learning process through a spatial clustering-based methodology, followed by iterative training using pseudo-labels generated in accordance with the cluster centroids.

  We propose an end-to-end method that simultaneously detects 2D keypoints from an image and lifts them to 3D. The proposed method learns both 2D detection and 3D lifting only from 2D keypoints annotations. In addition to being end-to-end in image to 3D learning, our method also handles objects from multiple categories using a single neural network.

  We propose a novel framework for fine-grained object recognition that learns to recover object variation in 3D space from a single image. We represent an object as a composition of 3D shape and its appearance, while eliminating the effect of camera viewpoint. By incorporating 3D shape and appearance jointly in a deep representation, our method learns the discriminative representation of the object.

  We address the problem of learning 3D complete shape from unaligned and real-world partial point clouds. We propose a weakly-supervised method to estimate both 3D canonical shape and 6-DoF pose for alignment, given multiple partial observations. Experiments on both synthetic and real data show that it is feasible and promising to learn 3D shape completion through large-scale data without shape and pose supervision.
