• Abstract summary: This paper presents a novel content-aware viewpoint generation network (CAVGN) to learn better viewpoints. To train the proposed CAVGN, we present a self-supervised viewpoint network (SSVRN) to select the viewpoint with the worst quality projected image. Experimental results show that the projection-related PCQA methods can achieve higher performance using the viewpoints generated by the proposed CAVGN.

• Abstract: Through experimental studies, however, we observed the instability of final predicted quality scores, which change significantly over different viewpoint settings. Inspired by the "wooden barrel theory", given the default content-independent viewpoints of existing projection-related PCQA approaches, this paper presents a novel content-aware viewpoint generation network (CAVGN) to learn better viewpoints by taking the distribution of geometric and attribute features of degraded point clouds into consideration. Firstly, the proposed CAVGN extracts multi-scale geometric and texture features of the entire input point cloud, respectively. Then, for each default content-independent viewpoint, the extracted geometric and texture features are refined to focus on its corresponding visible part of the input point cloud. Finally, the refined geometric and texture features are concatenated to generate an optimized viewpoint. To train the proposed CAVGN, we present a self-supervised viewpoint ranking network (SSVRN) to select the viewpoint with the worst quality projected image to construct a default-optimized viewpoint dataset, which consists of thousands of paired default viewpoints and corresponding optimized viewpoints. Experimental results show that the projection-related PCQA methods can achieve higher performance using the viewpoints generated by the proposed CAVGN.

  Three-dimensional (3D) point cloud, as an emerging visual media format, is increasingly favored by consumers. Point clouds inevitably suffer from quality degradation and information loss through multimedia communication systems. We propose a novel no-reference PCQA method by using a graph convolutional network (GCN) to characterize the mutual dependencies of multi-view 2D projected image contents.

  The goal of objective point cloud quality assessment (PCQA) research is to develop metrics that measure point cloud quality in a consistent manner. We evaluate the point cloud quality by measuring the complexity of transforming the distorted point cloud back to its reference. The effectiveness of the proposed transformational complexity based distortion metric (TCDM) is evaluated through extensive experiments conducted on five public point cloud quality assessment databases.
