• Authors: Pranav Kadam, Hardik Prajapati, Min Zhang, Jintang Xue, Shan Liu, C.-C. Jay Kuo
• Abstract summary: This work focuses on a mathematically transparent point cloud classification method called PointHop. We analyze its reason for failure due to pose variations, and solve the problem by replacing its pose dependent modules with rotation invariant counterparts. Experiments on the ModelNet40 dataset demonstrate the superiority of S3I-PointHop over traditional PointHop-like methods.

• Abstract: Many point cloud classification methods are developed under the assumption that all point clouds in the dataset are well aligned with the canonical axes so that the 3D Cartesian point coordinates can be employed to learn features. When input point clouds are not aligned, the classification performance drops significantly. In this work, we focus on a mathematically transparent point cloud classification method called PointHop, analyze its reason for failure due to pose variations, and solve the problem by replacing its pose dependent modules with rotation invariant counterparts. The proposed method is named SO(3)-Invariant PointHop (or S3I-PointHop in short). We also significantly simplify the PointHop pipeline using only one single hop along with multiple spatial aggregation techniques. The idea of exploiting more spatial information is novel. Experiments on the ModelNet40 dataset demonstrate the superiority of S3I-PointHop over traditional PointHop-like methods.

Based on the point features, we segment point clouds into coarse instance masks as pseudo labels, which are used to train a point cloud instance segmentation model.

  We propose a point content-based Transformer architecture, called PointConT for short. It exploits the locality of points in the feature space (content-based), which clusters the sampled points with similar features into the same class and computes the self-attention within each class. We also introduce an Inception feature aggregator for point cloud classification, which uses parallel structures to aggregate high-frequency and low-frequency information in each branch separately.

  The PointHop method was recently proposed by Zhang et al. for 3D point cloud classification with unsupervised feature extraction. We improve the PointHop method furthermore in two aspects: 1) reducing its model complexity in terms of the model parameter number and 2) ordering discriminant features automatically based on the cross-entropy criterion. With experiments conducted on the ModelNet40 benchmark dataset, we show that the PointHop++ method performs on par with deep neural network (DNN) solutions and surpasses other unsupervised feature extraction methods.
