• Abstract: This paper proposes a pose-graph attentional graph neural network, called P-GAT, which compares (key)nodes between sequential and non-sequential sub-graphs for place recognition tasks as opposed to a common frame-to-frame retrieval problem formulation currently implemented in SOTA place recognition methods. P-GAT uses the maximum spatial and temporal information between neighbour cloud descriptors -- generated by an existing encoder -- utilising the concept of pose-graph SLAM. Leveraging intra- and inter-attention and graph neural network, P-GAT relates point clouds captured in nearby locations in Euclidean space and their embeddings in feature space. Experimental results on the large-scale publically available datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach in scenes lacking distinct features and when training and testing environments have different distributions (domain adaptation). Further, an exhaustive comparison with the state-of-the-art shows improvements in performance gains. Code is available at https://github.com/csiro-robotics/P-GAT.

  PosDiffNet is a model for point cloud registration in 3D computer vision. We leverage a graph neural partial differential equation (PDE) based on Beltrami flow to obtain high-dimensional features. We employ the multi-level correspondence derived from the high feature similarity scores to facilitate alignment between point clouds. We evaluate PosDiffNet on several 3D point cloud datasets, verifying that it achieves state-of-the-art (SOTA) performance for point cloud registration in large fields of view with perturbations.
