3D感知，尤其是点云分类，已取得了重大进展。但是，在现实世界的部署中，由于场景的复杂性，传感器不准确和处理不精确性，点云腐败是不可避免的。在这项工作中，我们的目标是严格基准并分析腐败下的点云分类。为了进行系统的调查，我们首先提供了共同3D腐败的分类法，并确定原子腐败。然后，我们对广泛的代表点云模型进行全面评估，以了解其稳健性和概括性。我们的基准结果表明，尽管点云分类性能会随着时间的推移而提高，但最新的方法仍处于较差的范围。基于获得的观测值，我们提出了几种有效的技术来增强点云分类器的鲁棒性。我们希望我们的全面基准，深入分析和提议的技术能够以强大的3D感知激发未来的研究。

近年来，由于3D数据收集和深度学习技术的进步，对点云的3D对象检测已取得了重大进展。然而，3D场景表现出很多变化，并且容易出现传感器的不准确性以及预处理过程中的信息丢失。因此，对于针对这些变化的设计技术至关重要。这需要详细的分析和理解此类变化的影响。这项工作旨在分析和基准基于流行的基于点的3D对象检测器，以针对几个数据损坏。据我们所知，我们是第一个研究基于点的3D对象探测器的鲁棒性的人。为此，我们设计和评估涉及数据添加，减少和更改的损坏。我们进一步研究了不同模块对局部和全球变化的鲁棒性。我们的实验结果揭示了一些有趣的发现。例如，与在点级别上使用变压器相比，我们表明在补丁或对象级别集成变压器的方法会增加鲁棒性。

When using LiDAR semantic segmentation models for safety-critical applications such as autonomous driving, it is essential to understand and improve their robustness with respect to a large range of LiDAR corruptions. In this paper, we aim to comprehensively analyze the robustness of LiDAR semantic segmentation models under various corruptions. To rigorously evaluate the robustness and generalizability of current approaches, we propose a new benchmark called SemanticKITTI-C, which features 16 out-of-domain LiDAR corruptions in three groups, namely adverse weather, measurement noise and cross-device discrepancy. Then, we systematically investigate 11 LiDAR semantic segmentation models, especially spanning different input representations (e.g., point clouds, voxels, projected images, and etc.), network architectures and training schemes. Through this study, we obtain two insights: 1) We find out that the input representation plays a crucial role in robustness. Specifically, under specific corruptions, different representations perform variously. 2) Although state-of-the-art methods on LiDAR semantic segmentation achieve promising results on clean data, they are less robust when dealing with noisy data. Finally, based on the above observations, we design a robust LiDAR segmentation model (RLSeg) which greatly boosts the robustness with simple but effective modifications. It is promising that our benchmark, comprehensive analysis, and observations can boost future research in robust LiDAR semantic segmentation for safety-critical applications.

Recent investigations on rotation invariance for 3D point clouds have been devoted to devising rotation-invariant feature descriptors or learning canonical spaces where objects are semantically aligned. Examinations of learning frameworks for invariance have seldom been looked into. In this work, we review rotation invariance in terms of point cloud registration and propose an effective framework for rotation invariance learning via three sequential stages, namely rotation-invariant shape encoding, aligned feature integration, and deep feature registration. We first encode shape descriptors constructed with respect to reference frames defined over different scales, e.g., local patches and global topology, to generate rotation-invariant latent shape codes. Within the integration stage, we propose Aligned Integration Transformer to produce a discriminative feature representation by integrating point-wise self- and cross-relations established within the shape codes. Meanwhile, we adopt rigid transformations between reference frames to align the shape codes for feature consistency across different scales. Finally, the deep integrated feature is registered to both rotation-invariant shape codes to maximize feature similarities, such that rotation invariance of the integrated feature is preserved and shared semantic information is implicitly extracted from shape codes. Experimental results on 3D shape classification, part segmentation, and retrieval tasks prove the feasibility of our work. Our project page is released at: https://rotation3d.github.io/.

由于缺乏连接性信息，对局部表面几何形状进行建模在3D点云的理解中具有挑战性。大多数先前的作品使用各种卷积操作模拟本地几何形状。我们观察到，卷积可以等效地分解为局部和全球成分的加权组合。通过这种观察，我们明确地将这两个组件解散了，以便可以增强局部的组件并促进局部表面几何形状的学习。具体而言，我们提出了Laplacian单元（LU），这是一个简单而有效的建筑单元，可以增强局部几何学的学习。广泛的实验表明，配备有LU的网络在典型的云理解任务上实现了竞争性或卓越的性能。此外，通过建立平均曲率流之间的连接，基于曲率的LU进行了进一步研究，以解释LU的自适应平滑和锐化效果。代码将可用。

了解3D场景是自治代理的关键先决条件。最近，LIDAR和其他传感器已经以点云帧的时间序列形式提供了大量数据。在这项工作中，我们提出了一种新的问题 - 顺序场景流量估计（SSFE） - 该旨在预测给定序列中所有点云的3D场景流。这与先前研究的场景流程估计问题不同，这侧重于两个框架。我们介绍SPCM-NET架构，通过计算相邻点云之间的多尺度时空相关性，然后通过订单不变的复制单元计算多级时空相关性来解决这个问题。我们的实验评估证实，与仅使用两个框架相比，点云序列的复发处理导致SSFE明显更好。另外，我们证明可以有效地修改该方法，用于顺序点云预测（SPF），一种需要预测未来点云帧的相关问题。我们的实验结果是使用SSFE和SPF的新基准进行评估，包括合成和实时数据集。以前，场景流估计的数据集仅限于两个帧。我们为这些数据集提供非琐碎的扩展，用于多帧估计和预测。由于难以获得现实世界数据集的地面真理运动，我们使用自我监督的培训和评估指标。我们认为，该基准将在该领域的未来研究中关键。将可访问基准和型号的所有代码。

随着各种3D安全关键应用的关注，点云学习模型已被证明容易受到对抗性攻击的影响。尽管现有的3D攻击方法达到了很高的成功率，但它们会以明显的扰动来深入研究数据空间，这可能会忽略几何特征。取而代之的是，我们从新的角度提出了点云攻击 - 图谱域攻击，旨在在光谱域中扰动图形转换系数，该系数对应于改变某些几何结构。具体而言，利用图形信号处理，我们首先通过图形傅立叶变换（GFT）自适应地将点的坐标转换为光谱域，以进行紧凑的表示。然后，我们基于我们建议通过可学习的图形光谱滤波器扰动GFT系数的几何结构的影响。考虑到低频组件主要有助于3D对象的粗糙形状，我们进一步引入了低频约束，以限制不察觉到的高频组件中的扰动。最后，通过将扰动的光谱表示形式转换回数据域，从而生成对抗点云。实验结果证明了拟议攻击的有效性，这些攻击既有易经性和攻击成功率。

Point cloud completion, as the upstream procedure of 3D recognition and segmentation, has become an essential part of many tasks such as navigation and scene understanding. While various point cloud completion models have demonstrated their powerful capabilities, their robustness against adversarial attacks, which have been proven to be fatally malicious towards deep neural networks, remains unknown. In addition, existing attack approaches towards point cloud classifiers cannot be applied to the completion models due to different output forms and attack purposes. In order to evaluate the robustness of the completion models, we propose PointCA, the first adversarial attack against 3D point cloud completion models. PointCA can generate adversarial point clouds that maintain high similarity with the original ones, while being completed as another object with totally different semantic information. Specifically, we minimize the representation discrepancy between the adversarial example and the target point set to jointly explore the adversarial point clouds in the geometry space and the feature space. Furthermore, to launch a stealthier attack, we innovatively employ the neighbourhood density information to tailor the perturbation constraint, leading to geometry-aware and distribution-adaptive modifications for each point. Extensive experiments against different premier point cloud completion networks show that PointCA can cause a performance degradation from 77.9% to 16.7%, with the structure chamfer distance kept below 0.01. We conclude that existing completion models are severely vulnerable to adversarial examples, and state-of-the-art defenses for point cloud classification will be partially invalid when applied to incomplete and uneven point cloud data.

尽管在各种应用中取得了突出的性能，但点云识别模型经常遭受自然腐败和对抗性扰动的困扰。在本文中，我们深入研究了点云识别模型的一般鲁棒性，并提出了点云对比对抗训练（PointCat）。 PointCat的主要直觉是鼓励目标识别模型缩小清洁点云和损坏点云之间的决策差距。具体而言，我们利用有监督的对比损失来促进识别模型提取的超晶体特征的对齐和均匀性，并设计一对带有动态原型指南的集中式损失，以避免这些特征与其属于其属于其归属类别群的偏离。为了提供更具挑战性的损坏点云，我们对噪声生成器以及从头开始的识别模型进行了对手训练，而不是将基于梯度的攻击用作内部循环，例如以前的对手训练方法。全面的实验表明，在包括各种损坏的情况下，所提出的PointCat优于基线方法，并显着提高不同点云识别模型的稳健性，包括各向同性点噪声，LIDAR模拟的噪声，随机点掉落和对抗性扰动。

数据增强是一种提高深神经网络（DNN）的鲁棒性的简单而有效的方法。多样性和硬度是数据增强的两个互补维度，以实现稳健性。例如，Augmix探讨了各种增强套的随机组成，以增强更广泛的覆盖，而对抗性培训产生过态度硬质样品以发现弱点。通过此激励，我们提出了一个数据增强框架，被称为奥古曼克，统一多样性和硬度的两个方面。 Augmax首先将多个增强运算符进行随机样本，然后学习所选操作员的对抗性混合物。作为更强大的数据增强形式，奥格梅纳队导致了一个明显的增强输入分布，使模型培训更具挑战性。为了解决这个问题，我们进一步设计了一个解散的归一化模块，称为Dubin（双批次和实例规范化），其解除了奥古曼克斯出现的实例 - 明智的特征异质性。实验表明，Augmax-Dubin将显着改善分配的鲁棒性，优于现有技术，在CiFar10-C，CiFar100-C，微小Imagenet-C和Imagenet-C上以3.03％，3.49％，1.82％和0.71％。可提供代码和预磨料模型：https://github.com/vita-group/augmax。

Point cloud completion is a generation and estimation issue derived from the partial point clouds, which plays a vital role in the applications in 3D computer vision. The progress of deep learning (DL) has impressively improved the capability and robustness of point cloud completion. However, the quality of completed point clouds is still needed to be further enhanced to meet the practical utilization. Therefore, this work aims to conduct a comprehensive survey on various methods, including point-based, convolution-based, graph-based, and generative model-based approaches, etc. And this survey summarizes the comparisons among these methods to provoke further research insights. Besides, this review sums up the commonly used datasets and illustrates the applications of point cloud completion. Eventually, we also discussed possible research trends in this promptly expanding field.

纯变压器模型在自然语言处理和计算机视觉方面取得了令人印象深刻的成功。但是，变压器的一个限制是它们需要大型培训数据。在3D点云的领域中，大数据集的可用性是一个挑战，它加剧了3D任务的训练变压器问题。在这项工作中，我们凭经验研究和研究利用大量图像的知识以了解点云的理解的效果。我们制定了一条称为\ textIt {pix4point}的管道，该管道允许在图像域中利用预验证的变压器来改善下游点云任务。这是通过用于3D域专门的令牌和解码器层的帮助，通过模态无形的纯变压器主链实现。使用图像预言的变压器，我们分别在Scanobjectnn，ShapenetPart和S3DIS基准上观察到3D点云分类，部分分割和语义分割的任务的Pix4Point的显着性能提高。我们的代码和模型可在：\ url {https://github.com/guochengqian/pix4point}中获得。

Point cloud analysis is challenging due to irregularity and unordered data structure. To capture the 3D geometries, prior works mainly rely on exploring sophisticated local geometric extractors using convolution, graph, or attention mechanisms. These methods, however, incur unfavorable latency during inference, and the performance saturates over the past few years. In this paper, we present a novel perspective on this task. We notice that detailed local geometrical information probably is not the key to point cloud analysis -- we introduce a pure residual MLP network, called PointMLP, which integrates no sophisticated local geometrical extractors but still performs very competitively. Equipped with a proposed lightweight geometric affine module, PointMLP delivers the new state-of-the-art on multiple datasets. On the real-world ScanObjectNN dataset, our method even surpasses the prior best method by 3.3% accuracy. We emphasize that PointMLP achieves this strong performance without any sophisticated operations, hence leading to a superior inference speed. Compared to most recent CurveNet, PointMLP trains 2x faster, tests 7x faster, and is more accurate on ModelNet40 benchmark. We hope our PointMLP may help the community towards a better understanding of point cloud analysis. The code is available at https://github.com/ma-xu/pointMLP-pytorch.

我们介绍了几个新的数据集即想象的A / O和Imagenet-R以及合成环境和测试套件，我们称为CAOS。 Imagenet-A / O允许研究人员专注于想象成剩余的盲点。由于追踪稳健的表示，以特殊创建了ImageNet-R，因为表示不再简单地自然，而是包括艺术和其他演绎。 Caos Suite由Carla Simulator构建，允许包含异常物体，可以创建可重复的合成环境和用于测试稳健性的场景。所有数据集都是为测试鲁棒性和衡量鲁棒性的衡量进展而创建的。数据集已用于各种其他作品中，以衡量其具有鲁棒性的自身进步，并允许切向进展，这些进展不会完全关注自然准确性。鉴于这些数据集，我们创建了几种旨在推进鲁棒性研究的新方法。我们以最大Logit的形式和典型程度的形式构建简单的基线，并以深度的形式创建新的数据增强方法，从而提高上述基准。最大Logit考虑Logit值而不是SoftMax操作后的值，而微小的变化会产生明显的改进。典型程分将输出分布与类的后部分布进行比较。我们表明，除了分段任务之外，这将提高对基线的性能。猜测可能在像素级别，像素的语义信息比类级信息的语义信息不太有意义。最后，新的Deepaulment的新增强技术利用神经网络在彻底不同于先前使用的传统几何和相机的转换的图像上创建增强。

经过认证的稳健性保证衡量模型对测试时间攻击的稳健性，并且可以评估模型对现实世界中部署的准备情况。在这项工作中，我们批判性地研究了对基于随机平滑的认证方法的对抗鲁棒性如何在遇到配送外（OOD）数据的最先进的鲁棒模型时改变。我们的分析显示了这些模型的先前未知的漏洞，以低频OOD数据，例如与天气相关的损坏，使这些模型不适合在野外部署。为了缓解这个问题，我们提出了一种新的数据增强方案，Fourimix，产生增强以改善训练数据的光谱覆盖范围。此外，我们提出了一种新规范器，鼓励增强数据的噪声扰动的一致预测，以提高平滑模型的质量。我们发现Fouriermix增强有助于消除可认真强大的模型的频谱偏差，使其能够在一系列ood基准上实现明显更好的稳健性保证。我们的评估还在突出模型的光谱偏差时揭示了当前的OOD基准。为此，我们提出了一个全面的基准套件，其中包含来自光谱域中不同区域的损坏。对拟议套件上流行的增强方法培训的模型的评估突出了它们的光谱偏差，并建立了富硫克斯训练型模型在实现整个频谱上变化下的更好认证的鲁棒性担保的优势。

The success of deep learning heavily relies on large-scale data with comprehensive labels, which is more expensive and time-consuming to fetch in 3D compared to 2D images or natural languages. This promotes the potential of utilizing models pretrained with data more than 3D as teachers for cross-modal knowledge transferring. In this paper, we revisit masked modeling in a unified fashion of knowledge distillation, and we show that foundational Transformers pretrained with 2D images or natural languages can help self-supervised 3D representation learning through training Autoencoders as Cross-Modal Teachers (ACT). The pretrained Transformers are transferred as cross-modal 3D teachers using discrete variational autoencoding self-supervision, during which the Transformers are frozen with prompt tuning for better knowledge inheritance. The latent features encoded by the 3D teachers are used as the target of masked point modeling, wherein the dark knowledge is distilled to the 3D Transformer students as foundational geometry understanding. Our ACT pretrained 3D learner achieves state-of-the-art generalization capacity across various downstream benchmarks, e.g., 88.21% overall accuracy on ScanObjectNN. Codes will be released at https://github.com/RunpeiDong/ACT.

自我监督学习的最新进展证明了多种视觉任务的有希望的结果。高性能自我监督方法中的一个重要成分是通过培训模型使用数据增强，以便在嵌入空间附近的相同图像的不同增强视图。然而，常用的增强管道整体地对待图像，忽略图像的部分的语义相关性-e.g。主题与背景 - 这可能导致学习杂散相关性。我们的工作通过调查一类简单但高度有效的“背景增强”来解决这个问题，这鼓励模型专注于语义相关内容，劝阻它们专注于图像背景。通过系统的调查，我们表明背景增强导致在各种任务中跨越一系列最先进的自我监督方法（MOCO-V2，BYOL，SWAV）的性能大量改进。 $ \ SIM $ + 1-2％的ImageNet收益，使得与监督基准的表现有关。此外，我们发现有限标签设置的改进甚至更大（高达4.2％）。背景技术增强还改善了许多分布换档的鲁棒性，包括天然对抗性实例，想象群-9，对抗性攻击，想象成型。我们还在产生了用于背景增强的显着掩模的过程中完全无监督的显着性检测进展。

标准空间卷积假设具有常规邻域结构的输入数据。现有方法通常通过修复常规“视图”来概括对不规则点云域的卷积。固定的邻域大小，卷积内核大小对于每个点保持不变。然而，由于点云不是像图像的结构，所以固定邻权给出了不幸的感应偏压。我们提出了一个名为digress图卷积（diffconv）的新图表卷积，不依赖常规视图。DiffConv在空间 - 变化和密度扩张的邻域上操作，其进一步由学习屏蔽的注意机制进行了进一步调整。我们在ModelNet40点云分类基准测试中验证了我们的模型，获得最先进的性能和更稳健的噪声，以及更快的推广速度。

Point cloud learning has lately attracted increasing attention due to its wide applications in many areas, such as computer vision, autonomous driving, and robotics. As a dominating technique in AI, deep learning has been successfully used to solve various 2D vision problems. However, deep learning on point clouds is still in its infancy due to the unique challenges faced by the processing of point clouds with deep neural networks. Recently, deep learning on point clouds has become even thriving, with numerous methods being proposed to address different problems in this area. To stimulate future research, this paper presents a comprehensive review of recent progress in deep learning methods for point clouds. It covers three major tasks, including 3D shape classification, 3D object detection and tracking, and 3D point cloud segmentation. It also presents comparative results on several publicly available datasets, together with insightful observations and inspiring future research directions.

Recent studies show that Vision Transformers(ViTs) exhibit strong robustness against various corruptions. Although this property is partly attributed to the self-attention mechanism, there is still a lack of systematic understanding. In this paper, we examine the role of self-attention in learning robust representations. Our study is motivated by the intriguing properties of the emerging visual grouping in Vision Transformers, which indicates that self-attention may promote robustness through improved mid-level representations. We further propose a family of fully attentional networks (FANs) that strengthen this capability by incorporating an attentional channel processing design. We validate the design comprehensively on various hierarchical backbones. Our model achieves a state-of-the-art 87.1% accuracy and 35.8% mCE on ImageNet-1k and ImageNet-C with 76.8M parameters. We also demonstrate state-of-the-art accuracy and robustness in two downstream tasks: semantic segmentation and object detection. Code is available at: https://github.com/NVlabs/FAN.
