• Abstract summary: We devise a new 3d point cloud generation framework using a divide-and-conquer approach. All patch generators are based on learnable priors, which aim to capture the information of geometry primitives. Experimental results on a variety of object categories from the most popular point cloud dataset, ShapeNet, show the effectiveness of the proposed patch-wise point cloud generation.

• Abstract: A generative model for high-fidelity point clouds is of great importance in synthesizing 3d environments for applications such as autonomous driving and robotics. Despite the recent success of deep generative models for 2d images, it is non-trivial to generate 3d point clouds without a comprehensive understanding of both local and global geometric structures. In this paper, we devise a new 3d point cloud generation framework using a divide-and-conquer approach, where the whole generation process can be divided into a set of patch-wise generation tasks. Specifically, all patch generators are based on learnable priors, which aim to capture the information of geometry primitives. We introduce point- and patch-wise transformers to enable the interactions between points and patches. Therefore, the proposed divide-and-conquer approach contributes to a new understanding of point cloud generation from the geometry constitution of 3d shapes. Experimental results on a variety of object categories from the most popular point cloud dataset, ShapeNet, show the effectiveness of the proposed patch-wise point cloud generation, where it clearly outperforms recent state-of-the-art methods for high-fidelity point cloud generation.

  We propose a heterogeneous point cloud compression (PCC) framework. We unify typical point cloud representations -- point-based, voxel-based, and tree-based representations -- and their associated backbones. We augment the framework with a proposed context-aware upsampling for decoding and an enhanced voxel transformer for feature aggregation.

  Point cloud completion estimates complete shapes from incomplete point clouds to obtain higher-quality point cloud data. Most existing methods only consider global object features, ignoring spatial and semantic information of adjacent points. We propose an information interaction-based generative network for point cloud completion.
