Three-dimensional geometric data offer an excellent domain for studying representation learning and generative modeling. In this paper, we look at geometric data represented as point clouds. We introduce a deep AutoEncoder (AE) network with state-of-the-art reconstruction quality and generalization ability. The learned representations outperform existing methods on 3D recognition tasks and enable shape editing via simple algebraic manipulations, such as semantic part editing, shape analogies and shape interpolation, as well as shape completion. We perform a thorough study of different generative models including GANs operating on the raw point clouds, significantly improved GANs trained in the fixed latent space of our AEs, and Gaussian Mixture Models (GMMs). To quantitatively evaluate generative models we introduce measures of sample fidelity and diversity based on matchings between sets of point clouds. Interestingly, our evaluation of generalization, fidelity and diversity reveals that GMMs trained in the latent space of our AEs yield the best results overall.

最近归一化流量（NFS）在建模3D点云上已经证明了最先进的性能，同时允许在推理时间以任意分辨率进行采样。然而，这些基于流的模型仍然需要长期训练时间和大型模型来代表复杂的几何形状。这项工作通过将NFS的混合物应用于点云来增强它们的代表性。我们展示在更普遍的框架中，每个组件都学会专门以完全无监督的方式专门化对象的特定子区域。通过将每个混合组件与相对小的NF实例化，我们通过更好的细节生成点云，而与基于单流量的模型相比，使用较少的参数，并且大大减少推理运行时。我们进一步证明通过添加数据增强，各个混合组件可以学习以语义有意义的方式专注。基于ShapEnet​​ DataSet评估NFS对生成，自动编码和单视重建的混合物。

We advocate the use of implicit fields for learning generative models of shapes and introduce an implicit field decoder, called IM-NET, for shape generation, aimed at improving the visual quality of the generated shapes. An implicit field assigns a value to each point in 3D space, so that a shape can be extracted as an iso-surface. IM-NET is trained to perform this assignment by means of a binary classifier. Specifically, it takes a point coordinate, along with a feature vector encoding a shape, and outputs a value which indicates whether the point is outside the shape or not. By replacing conventional decoders by our implicit decoder for representation learning (via IM-AE) and shape generation (via IM-GAN), we demonstrate superior results for tasks such as generative shape modeling, interpolation, and single-view 3D reconstruction, particularly in terms of visual quality.

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.

allows us to train our model in the variational inference framework. Empirically, we demonstrate that PointFlow achieves state-of-the-art performance in point cloud generation. We additionally show that our model can faithfully reconstruct point clouds and learn useful representations in an unsupervised manner.

Shape completion, the problem of estimating the complete geometry of objects from partial observations, lies at the core of many vision and robotics applications. In this work, we propose Point Completion Network (PCN), a novel learning-based approach for shape completion. Unlike existing shape completion methods, PCN directly operates on raw point clouds without any structural assumption (e.g. symmetry) or annotation (e.g. semantic class) about the underlying shape. It features a decoder design that enables the generation of fine-grained completions while maintaining a small number of parameters. Our experiments show that PCN produces dense, complete point clouds with realistic structures in the missing regions on inputs with various levels of incompleteness and noise, including cars from LiDAR scans in the KITTI dataset. Code, data and trained models are available at https://wentaoyuan.github.io/pcn.

We study the problem of 3D object generation. We propose a novel framework, namely 3D Generative Adversarial Network (3D-GAN), which generates 3D objects from a probabilistic space by leveraging recent advances in volumetric convolutional networks and generative adversarial nets. The benefits of our model are three-fold: first, the use of an adversarial criterion, instead of traditional heuristic criteria, enables the generator to capture object structure implicitly and to synthesize high-quality 3D objects; second, the generator establishes a mapping from a low-dimensional probabilistic space to the space of 3D objects, so that we can sample objects without a reference image or CAD models, and explore the 3D object manifold; third, the adversarial discriminator provides a powerful 3D shape descriptor which, learned without supervision, has wide applications in 3D object recognition. Experiments demonstrate that our method generates high-quality 3D objects, and our unsupervisedly learned features achieve impressive performance on 3D object recognition, comparable with those of supervised learning methods.

大量的研究与逼真的传感器数据的产生有关。激光点云是由复杂的模拟或学习的生成模型生成的。通常利用生成的数据来启用或改善下游感知算法。这些程序来自两个主要问题：首先，如何评估生成数据的现实主义？其次，更现实的数据还会导致更好的感知表现吗？本文解决了问题，并提出了一个新颖的指标，以量化LiDar Point Cloud的现实主义。通过训练代理分类任务，可以从现实世界和合成点云中学到相关功能。在一系列实验中，我们证明了我们的指标的应用来确定生成的LiDAR数据的现实主义，并将我们的度量的现实主义估计与分割模型的性能进行比较。我们确认我们的指标为下游细分性能提供了指示。

随着几个行业正在朝着建模大规模的3D虚拟世界迈进，因此需要根据3D内容的数量，质量和多样性来扩展的内容创建工具的需求变得显而易见。在我们的工作中，我们旨在训练Parterant 3D生成模型，以合成纹理网格，可以通过3D渲染引擎直接消耗，因此立即在下游应用中使用。 3D生成建模的先前工作要么缺少几何细节，因此在它们可以生成的网格拓扑中受到限制，通常不支持纹理，或者在合成过程中使用神经渲染器，这使得它们在常见的3D软件中使用。在这项工作中，我们介绍了GET3D，这是一种生成模型，该模型直接生成具有复杂拓扑，丰富几何细节和高保真纹理的显式纹理3D网格。我们在可区分的表面建模，可区分渲染以及2D生成对抗网络中桥接了最新成功，以从2D图像集合中训练我们的模型。 GET3D能够生成高质量的3D纹理网格，从汽车，椅子，动物，摩托车和人类角色到建筑物，对以前的方法进行了重大改进。

我们为3D形状生成（称为SDF-Stylegan）提供了一种基于stylegan2的深度学习方法，目的是降低生成形状和形状集合之间的视觉和几何差异。我们将stylegan2扩展到3D世代，并利用隐式签名的距离函数（SDF）作为3D形状表示，并引入了两个新颖的全球和局部形状鉴别器，它们区分了真实和假的SDF值和梯度，以显着提高形状的几何形状和视觉质量。我们进一步补充了基于阴影图像的FR \'Echet Inception距离（FID）分数的3D生成模型的评估指标，以更好地评估生成形状的视觉质量和形状分布。对形状生成的实验证明了SDF-Stylegan比最先进的表现出色。我们进一步证明了基于GAN倒置的各种任务中SDF-Stylegan的功效，包括形状重建，部分点云的形状完成，基于单图像的形状形状生成以及形状样式编辑。广泛的消融研究证明了我们框架设计的功效。我们的代码和训练有素的模型可在https://github.com/zhengxinyang/sdf-stylegan上找到。

Generative models, as an important family of statistical modeling, target learning the observed data distribution via generating new instances. Along with the rise of neural networks, deep generative models, such as variational autoencoders (VAEs) and generative adversarial network (GANs), have made tremendous progress in 2D image synthesis. Recently, researchers switch their attentions from the 2D space to the 3D space considering that 3D data better aligns with our physical world and hence enjoys great potential in practice. However, unlike a 2D image, which owns an efficient representation (i.e., pixel grid) by nature, representing 3D data could face far more challenges. Concretely, we would expect an ideal 3D representation to be capable enough to model shapes and appearances in details, and to be highly efficient so as to model high-resolution data with fast speed and low memory cost. However, existing 3D representations, such as point clouds, meshes, and recent neural fields, usually fail to meet the above requirements simultaneously. In this survey, we make a thorough review of the development of 3D generation, including 3D shape generation and 3D-aware image synthesis, from the perspectives of both algorithms and more importantly representations. We hope that our discussion could help the community track the evolution of this field and further spark some innovative ideas to advance this challenging task.

Generation of 3D data by deep neural network has been attracting increasing attention in the research community. The majority of extant works resort to regular representations such as volumetric grids or collection of images; however, these representations obscure the natural invariance of 3D shapes under geometric transformations, and also suffer from a number of other issues. In this paper we address the problem of 3D reconstruction from a single image, generating a straight-forward form of output -point cloud coordinates. Along with this problem arises a unique and interesting issue, that the groundtruth shape for an input image may be ambiguous. Driven by this unorthodox output form and the inherent ambiguity in groundtruth, we design architecture, loss function and learning paradigm that are novel and effective. Our final solution is a conditional shape sampler, capable of predicting multiple plausible 3D point clouds from an input image. In experiments not only can our system outperform state-ofthe-art methods on single image based 3d reconstruction benchmarks; but it also shows strong performance for 3d shape completion and promising ability in making multiple plausible predictions.

Computer graphics, 3D computer vision and robotics communities have produced multiple approaches to represent and generate 3D shapes, as well as a vast number of use cases. However, single-view reconstruction remains a challenging topic that can unlock various interesting use cases such as interactive design. In this work, we propose a novel framework that leverages the intermediate latent spaces of Vision Transformer (ViT) and a joint image-text representational model, CLIP, for fast and efficient Single View Reconstruction (SVR). More specifically, we propose a novel mapping network architecture that learns a mapping between deep features extracted from ViT and CLIP, and the latent space of a base 3D generative model. Unlike previous work, our method enables view-agnostic reconstruction of 3D shapes, even in the presence of large occlusions. We use the ShapeNetV2 dataset and perform extensive experiments with comparisons to SOTA methods to demonstrate our method's effectiveness.

最近对隐含形状表示的兴趣日益增长。与明确的陈述相反，他们没有解决局限性，他们很容易处理各种各样的表面拓扑。为了了解这些隐式表示，电流方法依赖于一定程度的形状监督（例如，内部/外部信息或距离形状知识），或者至少需要密集点云（以近似距离 - 到 - 到 - 形状）。相比之下，我们介绍{\方法}，一种用于学习形状表示的自我监督方法，从可能极其稀疏的点云。就像在水牛的针问题一样，我们在点云上“掉落”（样本）针头，认为，静统计地靠近表面，针端点位于表面的相对侧。不需要形状知识，点云可以高稀疏，例如，作为车辆获取的Lidar点云。以前的自我监督形状表示方法未能在这种数据上产生良好的结果。我们获得定量结果与现有的形状重建数据集上现有的监督方法标准，并在Kitti等硬自动驾驶数据集中显示有前途的定性结果。

深度生成模型的最新进展导致了3D形状合成的巨大进展。虽然现有模型能够合成表示为体素，点云或隐式功能的形状，但这些方法仅间接强制执行最终3D形状表面的合理性。在这里，我们提出了一种直接将对抗训练施加到物体表面的3D形状合成框架（Surfgen）。我们的方法使用可分解的球面投影层来捕获并表示隐式3D发生器的显式零IsoSurface作为在单元球上定义的功能。通过在对手设置中用球形CNN处理3D对象表面的球形表示，我们的发电机可以更好地学习自然形状表面的统计数据。我们在大规模形状数据集中评估我们的模型，并证明了端到端训练的模型能够产生具有不同拓扑的高保真3D形状。

Our method completes a partial 3D scan using a 3D Encoder-Predictor network that leverages semantic features from a 3D classification network. The predictions are correlated with a shape database, which we use in a multi-resolution 3D shape synthesis step. We obtain completed high-resolution meshes that are inferred from partial, low-resolution input scans.

形状空间学习的任务涉及使用良好的概括性属性映射到从潜在表示空间的列车组。通常，真实世界的形状系列具有对称性，可以定义为不改变形状本质的转换。在形状空间学习中纳入对称性的自然方式是要求将其映射到形状空间（编码器）和从形状空间（解码器）映射到相关的对称。在本文中，我们通过引入两个贡献，提出了一种在编码器和解码器中融入设备和解码器的框架：（i）适应建设通用，高效和最大富有表现力的Autorencoders的最近帧平均（FA）框架; （ii）构建自动化器等于分段欧几里德运动的分段应用于形状的不同部分。据我们所知，这是第一个完全分段的欧几里德的欧洲等自动化器建设。培训我们的框架很简单：它使用标准的重建损失，不需要引入新的损失。我们的体系结构由标准（骨干网）架构构成，具有适当的帧平均，使其成为等效。使用隐式的神经表示，在两个刚性形状数据集上测试我们的框架，并使用基于网格的神经网络的铰接形状数据集显示出技术的概括，以通过大边缘改善相关基线。特别地，我们的方法表明了概括铰接姿势的概括性的显着改善。

用于形状生成和编辑的AutoEncoders的使用遭受了可能导致输出形状不可预测的变化的潜在空间中的操纵。我们介绍了一种基于AutoEncoder的方法，通过解开潜在的子空间来获得潜在空间的直观形状，以获得可以独立操纵的表面和样式变量的控制点。关键思想是向损耗函数添加一个LipsChitz型约束，即将输出形状的变化与潜在空间的变化相结合，导致可解释的潜在空间表示。然后可以自由地移动表面上的控制点，允许直接在潜空间中直接编辑。我们通过将其与最先进的数据驱动的形状编辑方法进行比较来评估我们的方法。除了形状操纵外，我们通过利用他们为无监督的部分分割来展示我们的控制点的表现力。

3D shapes have complementary abstractions from low-level geometry to part-based hierarchies to languages, which convey different levels of information. This paper presents a unified framework to translate between pairs of shape abstractions: $\textit{Text}$ $\Longleftrightarrow$ $\textit{Point Cloud}$ $\Longleftrightarrow$ $\textit{Program}$. We propose $\textbf{Neural Shape Compiler}$ to model the abstraction transformation as a conditional generation process. It converts 3D shapes of three abstract types into unified discrete shape code, transforms each shape code into code of other abstract types through the proposed $\textit{ShapeCode Transformer}$, and decodes them to output the target shape abstraction. Point Cloud code is obtained in a class-agnostic way by the proposed $\textit{Point}$VQVAE. On Text2Shape, ShapeGlot, ABO, Genre, and Program Synthetic datasets, Neural Shape Compiler shows strengths in $\textit{Text}$ $\Longrightarrow$ $\textit{Point Cloud}$, $\textit{Point Cloud}$ $\Longrightarrow$ $\textit{Text}$, $\textit{Point Cloud}$ $\Longrightarrow$ $\textit{Program}$, and Point Cloud Completion tasks. Additionally, Neural Shape Compiler benefits from jointly training on all heterogeneous data and tasks.
