作为3D对象的两个基本表示方式，2D多视图图像和3D点云反映了来自视觉外观和几何结构各个方面的形状信息。与基于深度学习的2D多视图图像建模不同，该模型在各种3D形状分析任务中展示了领先的性能，基于3D点云的几何建模仍然遭受学习能力不足。在本文中，我们创新地构建了一个统一的跨模式知识转移框架，该框架将2D图像的歧视性视觉描述器提炼成3D点云的几何描述符。从技术上讲，在经典的教师学习范式下，我们提出了多视觉愿景到几何的蒸馏，由深入的2D图像编码器作为老师和深层的3D点云编码器组成。为了实现异质特征对齐，我们进一步提出了可见性感知的特征投影，通过该投影可以通过该投影将每个点嵌入可以汇总到多视图几何描述符中。对3D形状分类，部分分割和无监督学习的广泛实验验证了我们方法的优势。我们将公开提供代码和数据。

Point clouds are characterized by irregularity and unstructuredness, which pose challenges in efficient data exploitation and discriminative feature extraction. In this paper, we present an unsupervised deep neural architecture called Flattening-Net to represent irregular 3D point clouds of arbitrary geometry and topology as a completely regular 2D point geometry image (PGI) structure, in which coordinates of spatial points are captured in colors of image pixels. \mr{Intuitively, Flattening-Net implicitly approximates a locally smooth 3D-to-2D surface flattening process while effectively preserving neighborhood consistency.} \mr{As a generic representation modality, PGI inherently encodes the intrinsic property of the underlying manifold structure and facilitates surface-style point feature aggregation.} To demonstrate its potential, we construct a unified learning framework directly operating on PGIs to achieve \mr{diverse types of high-level and low-level} downstream applications driven by specific task networks, including classification, segmentation, reconstruction, and upsampling. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our methods perform favorably against the current state-of-the-art competitors. We will make the code and data publicly available at https://github.com/keeganhk/Flattening-Net.

The past few years have witnessed the prevalence of self-supervised representation learning within the language and 2D vision communities. However, such advancements have not been fully migrated to the community of 3D point cloud learning. Different from previous pre-training pipelines for 3D point clouds that generally fall into the scope of either generative modeling or contrastive learning, in this paper, we investigate a translative pre-training paradigm, namely PointVST, driven by a novel self-supervised pretext task of cross-modal translation from an input 3D object point cloud to its diverse forms of 2D rendered images (e.g., silhouette, depth, contour). Specifically, we begin with deducing view-conditioned point-wise embeddings via the insertion of the viewpoint indicator, and then adaptively aggregate a view-specific global codeword, which is further fed into the subsequent 2D convolutional translation heads for image generation. We conduct extensive experiments on common task scenarios of 3D shape analysis, where our PointVST shows consistent and prominent performance superiority over current state-of-the-art methods under diverse evaluation protocols. Our code will be made publicly available.

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.

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.

您将如何通过一些错过来修复物理物体？您可能会想象它的原始形状从先前捕获的图像中，首先恢复其整体（全局）但粗大的形状，然后完善其本地细节。我们有动力模仿物理维修程序以解决点云完成。为此，我们提出了一个跨模式的形状转移双转化网络（称为CSDN），这是一种带有全循环参与图像的粗到精细范式，以完成优质的点云完成。 CSDN主要由“ Shape Fusion”和“ Dual-Refinect”模块组成，以应对跨模式挑战。第一个模块将固有的形状特性从单个图像传输，以指导点云缺失区域的几何形状生成，在其中，我们建议iPadain嵌入图像的全局特征和部分点云的完成。第二个模块通过调整生成点的位置来完善粗糙输出，其中本地改进单元通过图卷积利用了小说和输入点之间的几何关系，而全局约束单元则利用输入图像来微调生成的偏移。与大多数现有方法不同，CSDN不仅探讨了图像中的互补信息，而且还可以在整个粗到精细的完成过程中有效利用跨模式数据。实验结果表明，CSDN对十个跨模式基准的竞争对手表现出色。

由于缺乏大规模标记的3D数据集，大多数3D神经网络都是从划痕训练。在本文中，我们通过利用来自丰富的2D数据集学习的2D网络来介绍一种新的3D预预测方法。我们提出了通过将像素级和点级别特征映射到同一嵌入空间中的对比度的像素到点知识转移来有效地利用2D信息。由于2D和3D网络之间的异构性质，我们介绍了后投影功能以对准2D和3D之间的功能以使转移成为可能。此外，我们设计了一个上采样功能投影层，以增加高级2D特征图的空间分辨率，这使得能够学习细粒度的3D表示。利用普雷累染的2D网络，所提出的预介绍过程不需要额外的2D或3D标记数据，进一步缓解了昂贵的3D数据注释成本。据我们所知，我们是第一个利用现有的2D培训的权重，以预先rain 3D深度神经网络。我们的密集实验表明，使用2D知识预订的3D模型可以通过各种真实世界3D下游任务进行3D网络的性能。

在鸟眼中学习强大的表现（BEV），以进行感知任务，这是趋势和吸引行业和学术界的广泛关注。大多数自动驾驶算法的常规方法在正面或透视视图中执行检测，细分，跟踪等。随着传感器配置变得越来越复杂，从不同的传感器中集成了多源信息，并在统一视图中代表功能至关重要。 BEV感知继承了几个优势，因为代表BEV中的周围场景是直观和融合友好的。对于BEV中的代表对象，对于随后的模块，如计划和/或控制是最可取的。 BEV感知的核心问题在于（a）如何通过从透视视图到BEV来通过视图转换来重建丢失的3D信息； （b）如何在BEV网格中获取地面真理注释； （c）如何制定管道以合并来自不同来源和视图的特征； （d）如何适应和概括算法作为传感器配置在不同情况下各不相同。在这项调查中，我们回顾了有关BEV感知的最新工作，并对不同解决方案进行了深入的分析。此外，还描述了该行业的BEV方法的几种系统设计。此外，我们推出了一套完整的实用指南，以提高BEV感知任务的性能，包括相机，激光雷达和融合输入。最后，我们指出了该领域的未来研究指示。我们希望该报告能阐明社区，并鼓励对BEV感知的更多研究。我们保留一个活跃的存储库来收集最新的工作，并在https://github.com/openperceptionx/bevperception-survey-recipe上提供一包技巧的工具箱。

Multi-view projection techniques have shown themselves to be highly effective in achieving top-performing results in the recognition of 3D shapes. These methods involve learning how to combine information from multiple view-points. However, the camera view-points from which these views are obtained are often fixed for all shapes. To overcome the static nature of current multi-view techniques, we propose learning these view-points. Specifically, we introduce the Multi-View Transformation Network (MVTN), which uses differentiable rendering to determine optimal view-points for 3D shape recognition. As a result, MVTN can be trained end-to-end with any multi-view network for 3D shape classification. We integrate MVTN into a novel adaptive multi-view pipeline that is capable of rendering both 3D meshes and point clouds. Our approach demonstrates state-of-the-art performance in 3D classification and shape retrieval on several benchmarks (ModelNet40, ScanObjectNN, ShapeNet Core55). Further analysis indicates that our approach exhibits improved robustness to occlusion compared to other methods. We also investigate additional aspects of MVTN, such as 2D pretraining and its use for segmentation. To support further research in this area, we have released MVTorch, a PyTorch library for 3D understanding and generation using multi-view projections.

变压器在自然语言处理中的成功最近引起了计算机视觉领域的关注。由于能够学习长期依赖性，变压器已被用作广泛使用的卷积运算符的替代品。事实证明，这种替代者在许多任务中都取得了成功，其中几种最先进的方法依靠变压器来更好地学习。在计算机视觉中，3D字段还见证了使用变压器来增加3D卷积神经网络和多层感知器网络的增加。尽管许多调查都集中在视力中的变压器上，但由于与2D视觉相比，由于数据表示和处理的差异，3D视觉需要特别注意。在这项工作中，我们介绍了针对不同3D视觉任务的100多种变压器方法的系统和彻底审查，包括分类，细分，检测，完成，姿势估计等。我们在3D Vision中讨论了变形金刚的设计，该设计使其可以使用各种3D表示形式处理数据。对于每个应用程序，我们强调了基于变压器的方法的关键属性和贡献。为了评估这些方法的竞争力，我们将它们的性能与12个3D基准测试的常见非转化方法进行了比较。我们通过讨论3D视觉中变压器的不同开放方向和挑战来结束调查。除了提出的论文外，我们的目标是频繁更新最新的相关论文及其相应的实现：https：//github.com/lahoud/3d-vision-transformers。

变压器是一种基于关注的编码器解码器架构，彻底改变了自然语言处理领域。灵感来自这一重大成就，最近在将变形式架构调整到计算机视觉（CV）领域的一些开创性作品，这已经证明了他们对各种简历任务的有效性。依靠竞争力的建模能力，与现代卷积神经网络相比在本文中，我们已经为三百不同的视觉变压器进行了全面的审查，用于三个基本的CV任务（分类，检测和分割），提出了根据其动机，结构和使用情况组织这些方法的分类。 。由于培训设置和面向任务的差异，我们还在不同的配置上进行了评估了这些方法，以便于易于和直观的比较而不是各种基准。此外，我们已经揭示了一系列必不可少的，但可能使变压器能够从众多架构中脱颖而出，例如松弛的高级语义嵌入，以弥合视觉和顺序变压器之间的差距。最后，提出了三个未来的未来研究方向进行进一步投资。

3D点云的卷积经过广泛研究，但在几何深度学习中却远非完美。卷积的传统智慧在3D点之间表现出特征对应关系，这是对差的独特特征学习的内在限制。在本文中，我们提出了自适应图卷积（AGCONV），以供点云分析的广泛应用。 AGCONV根据其动态学习的功能生成自适应核。与使用固定/各向同性核的解决方案相比，AGCONV提高了点云卷积的灵活性，有效，精确地捕获了不同语义部位的点之间的不同关系。与流行的注意力体重方案不同，AGCONV实现了卷积操作内部的适应性，而不是简单地将不同的权重分配给相邻点。广泛的评估清楚地表明，我们的方法优于各种基准数据集中的点云分类和分割的最新方法。同时，AGCONV可以灵活地采用更多的点云分析方法来提高其性能。为了验证其灵活性和有效性，我们探索了基于AGCONV的完成，DeNoing，Upsmpling，注册和圆圈提取的范式，它们与竞争对手相当甚至优越。我们的代码可在https://github.com/hrzhou2/adaptconv-master上找到。

随着相机和激光雷达传感器捕获用于自主驾驶的互补信息，已经做出了巨大的努力，通过多模式数据融合来开发语义分割算法。但是，基于融合的方法需要配对的数据，即具有严格的点对像素映射的激光点云和相机图像，因为培训和推理的输入都严重阻碍了在实际情况下的应用。因此，在这项工作中，我们建议通过充分利用具有丰富外观的2D图像来提高对点云上的代表性学习的2D先验辅助语义分割（2DPass），以增强对点云的表示。实际上，通过利用辅助模态融合和多尺度融合到单个知识蒸馏（MSFSKD），2DAPS从多模式数据中获取更丰富的语义和结构信息，然后在线蒸馏到纯3D网络。结果，配备了2DAPS，我们的基线仅使用点云输入显示出显着的改进。具体而言，它在两个大规模的基准（即Semantickitti和Nuscenes）上实现了最先进的方法，其中包括TOP-1的semantickitti的单扫描和多次扫描竞赛。

Astounding results from Transformer models on natural language tasks have intrigued the vision community to study their application to computer vision problems. Among their salient benefits, Transformers enable modeling long dependencies between input sequence elements and support parallel processing of sequence as compared to recurrent networks e.g., Long short-term memory (LSTM). Different from convolutional networks, Transformers require minimal inductive biases for their design and are naturally suited as set-functions. Furthermore, the straightforward design of Transformers allows processing multiple modalities (e.g., images, videos, text and speech) using similar processing blocks and demonstrates excellent scalability to very large capacity networks and huge datasets. These strengths have led to exciting progress on a number of vision tasks using Transformer networks. This survey aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the Transformer models in the computer vision discipline. We start with an introduction to fundamental concepts behind the success of Transformers i.e., self-attention, large-scale pre-training, and bidirectional feature encoding. We then cover extensive applications of transformers in vision including popular recognition tasks (e.g., image classification, object detection, action recognition, and segmentation), generative modeling, multi-modal tasks (e.g., visual-question answering, visual reasoning, and visual grounding), video processing (e.g., activity recognition, video forecasting), low-level vision (e.g., image super-resolution, image enhancement, and colorization) and 3D analysis (e.g., point cloud classification and segmentation). We compare the respective advantages and limitations of popular techniques both in terms of architectural design and their experimental value. Finally, we provide an analysis on open research directions and possible future works. We hope this effort will ignite further interest in the community to solve current challenges towards the application of transformer models in computer vision.

通过当地地区的点特征聚合来捕获的细粒度几何是对象识别和场景理解在点云中的关键。然而，现有的卓越点云骨架通常包含最大/平均池用于局部特征聚集，这在很大程度上忽略了点的位置分布，导致细粒结构组装不足。为了缓解这一瓶颈，我们提出了一个有效的替代品，可以使用新颖的图形表示明确地模拟了本地点之间的空间关系，并以位置自适应方式聚合特征，从而实现位置敏感的表示聚合特征。具体而言，Papooling分别由两个关键步骤，图形结构和特征聚合组成，分别负责构造与将中心点连接的边缘与本地区域中的每个相邻点连接的曲线图组成，以将它们的相对位置信息映射到通道 - 明智的细心权重，以及基于通过图形卷积网络（GCN）的生成权重自适应地聚合局部点特征。 Papooling简单而且有效，并且足够灵活，可以随时为PointNet ++和DGCNN等不同的流行律源，作为即插即说运算符。关于各种任务的广泛实验，从3D形状分类，部分分段对场景分割良好的表明，伪装可以显着提高预测准确性，而具有最小的额外计算开销。代码将被释放。

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.

如今，大规模数据集的大型培训大型模型已成为深度学习的关键主题。具有较高表示能力和可传递性的预训练模型取得了巨大的成功，并在自然语言处理和2D视觉中占据了许多下游任务。但是，鉴于有限的训练数据相对不便，因此将这种预处理的调整范式促进这种预处理的调整范式是非平凡的。在本文中，我们提供了一个新的观点，即利用3D域中的预训练的2D知识来解决此问题，以新颖的点对像素来调整预训练的图像模型，以较小的参数成本提示点云分析。遵循促使工程的原理，我们将点云转换为具有几何形状的投影和几何学吸引着色的色彩图像，以适应预训练的图像模型，在点云分析的端到端优化期间，其权重冻结了任务。我们进行了广泛的实验，以证明与提议的点对像素提示合作，更好的预训练图像模型将导致在3D视觉中始终如一地表现更好的性能。享受图像预训练领域的繁荣发展，我们的方法在Scanobjectnn的最困难环境中获得了89.3％的精度，超过了传统的点云模型，具有较少的可训练参数。我们的框架在模型网分类和塑形部分分割方面还表现出非常具竞争力的性能。代码可从https://github.com/wangzy22/p2p获得

变压器一直是自然语言处理（NLP）和计算机视觉（CV）革命的核心。 NLP和CV的显着成功启发了探索变压器在点云处理中的使用。但是，变压器如何应对点云的不规则性和无序性质？变压器对于不同的3D表示（例如，基于点或体素）的合适性如何？各种3D处理任务的变压器有多大的能力？截至目前，仍然没有对这些问题的研究进行系统的调查。我们第一次为3D点云分析提供了越来越受欢迎的变压器的全面概述。我们首先介绍变压器体系结构的理论，并在2D/3D字段中审查其应用程序。然后，我们提出三种不同的分类法（即实现 - 数据表示和基于任务），它们可以从多个角度对当前的基于变压器的方法进行分类。此外，我们介绍了研究3D中自我注意机制的变异和改进的结果。为了证明变压器在点云分析中的优势，我们提供了基于各种变压器的分类，分割和对象检测方法的全面比较。最后，我们建议三个潜在的研究方向，为3D变压器的开发提供福利参考。

大型预训练的变压器是现代语义分割基准的顶部，但具有高计算成本和冗长的培训。为了提高这种约束，我们从综合知识蒸馏的角度来研究有效的语义分割，并考虑弥合多源知识提取和特定于变压器特定的斑块嵌入之间的差距。我们提出了基于变压器的知识蒸馏（TransKD）框架，该框架通过蒸馏出大型教师变压器的特征地图和补丁嵌入来学习紧凑的学生变形金刚，绕过长期的预训练过程并将FLOPS降低> 85.0％。具体而言，我们提出了两个基本和两个优化模块：（1）交叉选择性融合（CSF）可以通过通道注意和层次变压器内的特征图蒸馏之间的知识转移； （2）嵌入对齐（PEA）在斑块过程中执行尺寸转换，以促进贴片嵌入蒸馏； （3）全局本地上下文混合器（GL-MIXER）提取了代表性嵌入的全局和局部信息； （4）嵌入助手（EA）是一种嵌入方法，可以无缝地桥接老师和学生模型，并具有老师的渠道数量。关于CityScapes，ACDC和NYUV2数据集的实验表明，TransKD的表现优于最先进的蒸馏框架，并竞争了耗时的预训练方法。代码可在https://github.com/ruipingl/transkd上找到。

The recent success of pre-trained 2D vision models is mostly attributable to learning from large-scale datasets. However, compared with 2D image datasets, the current pre-training data of 3D point cloud is limited. To overcome this limitation, we propose a knowledge distillation method for 3D point cloud pre-trained models to acquire knowledge directly from the 2D representation learning model, particularly the image encoder of CLIP, through concept alignment. Specifically, we introduce a cross-attention mechanism to extract concept features from 3D point cloud and compare them with the semantic information from 2D images. In this scheme, the point cloud pre-trained models learn directly from rich information contained in 2D teacher models. Extensive experiments demonstrate that the proposed knowledge distillation scheme achieves higher accuracy than the state-of-the-art 3D pre-training methods for synthetic and real-world datasets on downstream tasks, including object classification, object detection, semantic segmentation, and part segmentation.
