• Abstract summary: This paper proposes a new 4D self-supervised pre-training method called Complete-to-Partial 4D Distillation. Our key idea is to formulate 4D self-supervised representation learning as a teacher-student knowledge distillation framework. Experiments show that this approach significantly outperforms previous pre-training approaches on a wide range of 4D point cloud sequence understanding tasks.

• Abstract: Recent work on 4D point cloud sequences has attracted a lot of attention. However, obtaining exhaustively labeled 4D datasets is often very expensive and laborious, so it is especially important to investigate how to utilize raw unlabeled data. However, most existing self-supervised point cloud representation learning methods only consider geometry from a static snapshot omitting the fact that sequential observations of dynamic scenes could reveal more comprehensive geometric details. And the video representation learning frameworks mostly model motion as image space flows, let alone being 3D-geometric-aware. To overcome such issues, this paper proposes a new 4D self-supervised pre-training method called Complete-to-Partial 4D Distillation. Our key idea is to formulate 4D self-supervised representation learning as a teacher-student knowledge distillation framework and let the student learn useful 4D representations with the guidance of the teacher. Experiments show that this approach significantly outperforms previous pre-training approaches on a wide range of 4D point cloud sequence understanding tasks including indoor and outdoor scenarios.

  We present Comp4D, a novel framework for Compositional 4D Generation. Unlike conventional methods that generate a singular 4D representation of the entire scene, Comp4D innovatively constructs each 4D object within the scene separately. Our method employs a compositional score distillation technique guided by the pre-defined trajectories.

  We propose an automatic pipeline that generates accurate object trajectories in 3D space from LiDAR point clouds. The key idea is to decompose the 4D object label into two parts: the object size in 3D that's fixed through time for rigid objects, and the motion path describing the evolution of the object's pose through time. Given the cheap but noisy input, our model produces higher quality 4D labels by re-estimating the object size and smoothing the motion path.
