Point cloud completion on structured feature map with feedback network
share
In this paper, we tackle the challenging problem of point cloud completion from the perspective of feature learning. Our key observation is that to recover the underlying structures as well as surface details given a partial input, a fundamental component is a good feature representation that can capture both global structure and local geometric details. Towards this end, we first propose FSNet, a feature structuring module that can adaptively aggregate point-wise features into a 2D structured feature map by learning multiple latent patterns from local regions. We then integrate FSNet into a coarse-to-fine pipeline for point cloud completion. Specifically, a 2D convolutional neural network is adopted to decode feature maps from FSNet into a coarse and complete point cloud. Next, a point cloud upsampling network is used to generate dense point cloud from the partial input and the coarse intermediate output. To efficiently exploit the local structures and enhance the point distribution uniformity, we propose IFNet, a point upsampling module with self-correction mechanism that can progressively refine details of the generated dense point cloud. We conduct both qualitative and quantitative experiments on ShapeNet, MVP, and KITTI datasets, which demonstrate that our method outperforms state-of-the-art point cloud completion approaches.
