• Abstract: The design of a tiny machine learning model, which can be deployed in mobile and edge devices, for point cloud object classification is investigated in this work. To achieve this objective, we replace the multi-scale representation of a point cloud object with a single-scale representation for complexity reduction, and exploit rich 3D geometric information of a point cloud object for performance improvement. The proposed solution is named Green-PointHop due to its low computational complexity. We evaluate the performance of Green-PointHop on ModelNet40 and ScanObjectNN two datasets. Green-PointHop has a model size of 64K parameters. It demands 2.3M floating-point operations (FLOPs) to classify a ModelNet40 object of 1024 down-sampled points. Its classification performance gaps against the state-of-the-art DGCNN method are 3% and 7% for ModelNet40 and ScanObjectNN, respectively. On the other hand, the model size and inference complexity of DGCNN are 42X and 1203X of those of Green-PointHop, respectively.

  PointeNet is a network designed specifically for point cloud analysis. Our method demonstrates flexibility by seamlessly integrating with a classification/segmentation head or embedding into off-the-shelf 3D object detection networks. Experiments on object-level datasets, including ModelNet40, ScanObjectNN, ShapeNet KITTI, and the scene-level dataset KITTI, demonstrate the superior performance of PointeNet over state-of-the-art methods in point cloud analysis.

  We propose a novel local feature descriptor, mini-PointNetPlus, as an alternative for plug-and-play to PointNet. Our basic idea is to separately project the data points to the individual features considered, each leading to a permutation invariant. Due to fully utilizing the features by the proposed descriptor, we demonstrate in experiment a considerable performance improvement for 3D perception.

  GSIP (Green of Indoor Point clouds) is an efficient solution to semantic segmentation of large-scale indoor scene point clouds. GSIP has two novel components: 1) a room-style data pre-processing method that selects a proper subset of points for further processing, and 2) a new feature extractor which is extended from PointHop. Experiments show that GSIP outperforms PointNet in segmentation performance for the S3DIS dataset.

  CNNs are powerful but it would be computationally costly to directly apply convolutions on point data after voxelizing the entire point clouds to a dense regular 3D grid. We propose a novel and principled Local Grid Rendering (LGR) operation to render the small neighborhood of a subset of input points into a low-resolution 3D grid independently. We validate LGR-Net for 3D object detection on the challenging ScanNet and SUN RGB-D datasets.
