• Abstract: There are various optimization techniques in the realm of 3D, including point cloud-based approaches that use mesh, texture, and voxels which optimize how you store, and how do calculate in 3D. These techniques employ methods such as feed-forward networks, 3D convolutions, graph neural networks, transformers, and sparse tensors. However, the field of 3D is one of the most computationally expensive fields, and these methods have yet to achieve their full potential due to their large capacity, complexity, and computation limits. This paper proposes the application of knowledge distillation techniques, especially for sparse tensors in 3D deep learning, to reduce model sizes while maintaining performance. We analyze and purpose different loss functions, including standard methods and combinations of various losses, to simulate the performance of state-of-the-art models of different Sparse Convolutional NNs. Our experiments are done on the standard ScanNet V2 dataset, and we achieved around 2.6\% mIoU difference with a 4 times smaller model and around 8\% with a 16 times smaller model on the latest state-of-the-art spacio-temporal convents based models.

  We present several novel techniques for implementing 3D convolutional blocks using 2D and/or 1D convolutions with only 4D and/or 3D tensors. Our motivation is that 3D convolutions with 5D tensors are computationally expensive and they may not be supported by some of the edge devices used in real-time applications such as robots.

We propose a new framework for the outdoor LiDAR segmentation, where cylindrical partition and asymmetrical 3D convolution networks are designed to explore the 3D geometric pattern.
