• Abstract: To achieve point cloud denoising, traditional methods heavily rely on geometric priors, and most learning-based approaches suffer from outliers and loss of details. Recently, the gradient-based method was proposed to estimate the gradient fields from the noisy point clouds using neural networks, and refine the position of each point according to the estimated gradient. However, the predicted gradient could fluctuate, leading to perturbed and unstable solutions, as well as a long inference time. To address these issues, we develop the momentum gradient ascent method that leverages the information of previous iterations in determining the trajectories of the points, thus improving the stability of the solution and reducing the inference time. Experiments demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms state-of-the-art approaches with a variety of point clouds, noise types, and noise levels.

  Weight quantization is an effective technique to compress deep neural networks for their deployment on edge devices with limited resources. Traditional loss-aware quantization methods commonly use the quantized gradient to replace the full-precision gradient. This paper proposes a one-step forward and backtrack way for loss-aware quantization to get more accurate and stable gradient direction.

  In some applications, e.g., for live streaming using a 3D point cloud, real-time point cloud denoising methods are required to enhance the visual quality. This paper proposes a fast graph-based denoising (FGBD) for a large-scale point cloud. In our experiments, we succeeded in reducing the processing time dramatically while maintaining accuracy relative to conventional denoising methods.

  Normal estimation for 3D point clouds is a fundamental task in 3D geometry processing.

  In this work, we investigate the implicit bias of gradient flow and gradient descent in two-layer fully-connected neural networks with ReLU activations. For gradient flow, we leverage recent work on the implicit bias for homogeneous neural networks to show that leakyally, gradient flow produces a neural network with rank at most two. For gradient descent, provided the random variance is small enough, we show that a single step of gradient descent suffices to drastically reduce the rank of the network, and that the rank remains small throughout training.
