Raw point clouds data inevitably contains outliers or noise through acquisition from 3D sensors or reconstruction algorithms. In this paper, we present a novel endto-end network for robust point clouds processing, named PointASNL, which can deal with point clouds with noise effectively. The key component in our approach is the adaptive sampling (AS) module. It first re-weights the neighbors around the initial sampled points from farthest point sampling (FPS), and then adaptively adjusts the sampled points beyond the entire point cloud. Our AS module can not only benefit the feature learning of point clouds, but also ease the biased effect of outliers. To further capture the neighbor and long-range dependencies of the sampled point, we proposed a local-nonlocal (L-NL) module inspired by the nonlocal operation. Such L-NL module enables the learning process insensitive to noise. Extensive experiments verify the robustness and superiority of our approach in point clouds processing tasks regardless of synthesis data, indoor data, and outdoor data with or without noise. Specifically, PointASNL achieves state-of-theart robust performance for classification and segmentation tasks on all datasets, and significantly outperforms previous methods on real-world outdoor SemanticKITTI dataset with considerate noise.

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。

Unlike images which are represented in regular dense grids, 3D point clouds are irregular and unordered, hence applying convolution on them can be difficult. In this paper, we extend the dynamic filter to a new convolution operation, named PointConv. PointConv can be applied on point clouds to build deep convolutional networks. We treat convolution kernels as nonlinear functions of the local coordinates of 3D points comprised of weight and density functions. With respect to a given point, the weight functions are learned with multi-layer perceptron networks and density functions through kernel density estimation. The most important contribution of this work is a novel reformulation proposed for efficiently computing the weight functions, which allowed us to dramatically scale up the network and significantly improve its performance. The learned convolution kernel can be used to compute translation-invariant and permutation-invariant convolution on any point set in the 3D space. Besides, PointConv can also be used as deconvolution operators to propagate features from a subsampled point cloud back to its original resolution. Experiments on ModelNet40, ShapeNet, and ScanNet show that deep convolutional neural networks built on PointConv are able to achieve state-of-the-art on challenging semantic segmentation benchmarks on 3D point clouds. Besides, our experiments converting CIFAR-10 into a point cloud showed that networks built on PointConv can match the performance of convolutional networks in 2D images of a similar structure.

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。

学习地区内部背景和区域间关系是加强点云分析的特征表示的两项有效策略。但是，在现有方法中没有完全强调的统一点云表示的两种策略。为此，我们提出了一种名为点关系感知网络（PRA-NET）的小说框架，其由区域内结构学习（ISL）模块和区域间关系学习（IRL）模块组成。ISL模块可以通过可差的区域分区方案和基于代表的基于点的策略自适应和有效地将本地结构信息动态地集成到点特征中，而IRL模块可自适应和有效地捕获区域间关系。在涵盖形状分类，关键点估计和部分分割的几个3D基准测试中的广泛实验已经验证了PRA-Net的有效性和泛化能力。代码将在https://github.com/xiwuchen/pra-net上获得。

随着激光雷达传感器和3D视觉摄像头的扩散，3D点云分析近年来引起了重大关注。经过先驱工作点的成功后，基于深度学习的方法越来越多地应用于各种任务，包括3D点云分段和3D对象分类。在本文中，我们提出了一种新颖的3D点云学习网络，通过选择性地执行具有动态池的邻域特征聚合和注意机制来提出作为动态点特征聚合网络（DPFA-NET）。 DPFA-Net有两个可用于三维云的语义分割和分类的变体。作为DPFA-NET的核心模块，我们提出了一个特征聚合层，其中每个点的动态邻域的特征通过自我注意机制聚合。与其他分割模型相比，来自固定邻域的聚合特征，我们的方法可以在不同层中聚合来自不同邻居的特征，在不同层中为查询点提供更具选择性和更广泛的视图，并更多地关注本地邻域中的相关特征。此外，为了进一步提高所提出的语义分割模型的性能，我们提出了两种新方法，即两级BF-Net和BF-Rengralization来利用背景前台信息。实验结果表明，所提出的DPFA-Net在S3DIS数据集上实现了最先进的整体精度分数，在S3DIS数据集上进行了语义分割，并在不同的语义分割，部分分割和3D对象分类中提供始终如一的令人满意的性能。与其他方法相比，它也在计算上更有效。

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.

This paper presents PointWeb, a new approach to extract contextual features from local neighborhood in a point cloud. Unlike previous work, we densely connect each point with every other in a local neighborhood, aiming to specify feature of each point based on the local region characteristics for better representing the region. A novel module, namely Adaptive Feature Adjustment (AFA) module, is presented to find the interaction between points. For each local region, an impact map carrying element-wise impact between point pairs is applied to the feature difference map. Each feature is then pulled or pushed by other features in the same region according to the adaptively learned impact indicators. The adjusted features are well encoded with region information, and thus benefit the point cloud recognition tasks, such as point cloud segmentation and classification. Experimental results show that our model outperforms the state-of-the-arts on both semantic segmentation and shape classification datasets.

Downsampling and feature extraction are essential procedures for 3D point cloud understanding. Existing methods are limited by the inconsistent point densities of different parts in the point cloud. In this work, we analyze the limitation of the downsampling stage and propose the pre-abstraction group-wise window-normalization module. In particular, the window-normalization method is leveraged to unify the point densities in different parts. Furthermore, the group-wise strategy is proposed to obtain multi-type features, including texture and spatial information. We also propose the pre-abstraction module to balance local and global features. Extensive experiments show that our module performs better on several tasks. In segmentation tasks on S3DIS (Area 5), the proposed module performs better on small object recognition, and the results have more precise boundaries than others. The recognition of the sofa and the column is improved from 69.2% to 84.4% and from 42.7% to 48.7%, respectively. The benchmarks are improved from 71.7%/77.6%/91.9% (mIoU/mAcc/OA) to 72.2%/78.2%/91.4%. The accuracies of 6-fold cross-validation on S3DIS are 77.6%/85.8%/91.7%. It outperforms the best model PointNeXt-XL (74.9%/83.0%/90.3%) by 2.7% on mIoU and achieves state-of-the-art performance. The code and models are available at https://github.com/DBDXSS/Window-Normalization.git.

We study the problem of efficient semantic segmentation for large-scale 3D point clouds. By relying on expensive sampling techniques or computationally heavy pre/postprocessing steps, most existing approaches are only able to be trained and operate over small-scale point clouds. In this paper, we introduce RandLA-Net, an efficient and lightweight neural architecture to directly infer per-point semantics for large-scale point clouds. The key to our approach is to use random point sampling instead of more complex point selection approaches. Although remarkably computation and memory efficient, random sampling can discard key features by chance. To overcome this, we introduce a novel local feature aggregation module to progressively increase the receptive field for each 3D point, thereby effectively preserving geometric details. Extensive experiments show that our RandLA-Net can process 1 million points in a single pass with up to 200× faster than existing approaches. Moreover, our RandLA-Net clearly surpasses state-of-the-art approaches for semantic segmentation on two large-scale benchmarks Semantic3D and Se-manticKITTI.

在本文中，我们提出了一个全面的点云语义分割网络，该网络汇总了本地和全球多尺度信息。首先，我们提出一个角度相关点卷积（ACPCONV）模块，以有效地了解点的局部形状。其次，基于ACPCONV，我们引入了局部多规模拆分（MSS）块，该块从一个单个块中连接到一个单个块中的特征，并逐渐扩大了接受场，这对利用本地上下文是有益的。第三，受HRNET的启发，在2D图像视觉任务上具有出色的性能，我们构建了一个针对Point Cloud的HRNET，以学习全局多尺度上下文。最后，我们介绍了一种融合多分辨率预测并进一步改善点云语义分割性能的点上的注意融合方法。我们在几个基准数据集上的实验结果和消融表明，与现有方法相比，我们提出的方法有效，能够实现最先进的性能。

Point cloud is an important type of geometric data structure. Due to its irregular format, most researchers transform such data to regular 3D voxel grids or collections of images. This, however, renders data unnecessarily voluminous and causes issues. In this paper, we design a novel type of neural network that directly consumes point clouds, which well respects the permutation invariance of points in the input. Our network, named PointNet, provides a unified architecture for applications ranging from object classification, part segmentation, to scene semantic parsing. Though simple, PointNet is highly efficient and effective. Empirically, it shows strong performance on par or even better than state of the art. Theoretically, we provide analysis towards understanding of what the network has learnt and why the network is robust with respect to input perturbation and corruption.

大规模发光点云的快速有效语义分割是自主驾驶中的一个基本问题。为了实现这一目标，现有的基于点的方法主要选择采用随机抽样策略来处理大规模点云。但是，我们的数量和定性研究发现，随机抽样可能不适合自主驾驶场景，因为LiDAR点遵循整个空间的不均匀甚至长尾巴分布，这阻止了模型从从中捕获足够的信息，从而从中捕获了足够的信息不同的距离范围并降低了模型的学习能力。为了减轻这个问题，我们提出了一种新的极性缸平衡的随机抽样方法，该方法使下采样的点云能够保持更平衡的分布并改善不同空间分布下的分割性能。此外，引入了采样一致性损失，以进一步提高分割性能并降低模型在不同采样方法下的方差。广泛的实验证实，我们的方法在Semantickitti和Semanticposs基准测试中都产生了出色的性能，分别提高了2.8％和4.0％。

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。

注意机制在点云分析中发挥了越来越重要的作用，并且渠道注意是热点之一。通过这么多的频道信息，神经网络难以筛选有用的信道信息。因此，提出了一种自适应信道编码机制以在本文中捕获信道关系。它通过明确地编码其特征信道之间的相互依赖来提高网络生成的表示的质量。具体地，提出了一种通道 - 明智的卷积（通道-Chim）以自适应地学习坐标和特征之间的关系，以便编码信道。与流行的重量方案不同，本文提出的通道CONN实现了卷积操作的适应性，而不是简单地为频道分配不同的权重。对现有基准的广泛实验验证了我们的方法实现了艺术的状态。

与卷积神经网络相比，最近开发的纯变压器架构已经实现了对点云学习基准的有希望的准确性。然而，现有点云变压器是计算昂贵的，因为它们在构建不规则数据时浪费了大量时间。要解决此缺点，我们呈现稀疏窗口注意（SWA）模块，以收集非空体素的粗粒颗粒特征，不仅绕过昂贵的不规则数据结构和无效的空体素计算，还可以获得线性计算复杂性到体素分辨率。同时，要收集关于全球形状的细粒度特征，我们介绍了相对的注意（RA）模块，更强大的自我关注变体，用于对象的刚性变换。我们配备了SWA和RA，我们构建了我们的神经结构，称为PVT，将两个模块集成到Point云学习的联合框架中。与以前的变压器和关注的模型相比，我们的方法平均达到了分类基准和10x推理加速的最高精度为94.0％。广泛的实验还有效地验证了PVT在部分和语义分割基准上的有效性（分别为86.6％和69.2％Miou）。

变压器在各种计算机视觉地区发挥着越来越重要的作用，并且在点云分析中也取得了显着的成就。由于它们主要专注于点亮变压器，因此本文提出了一种自适应通道编码变压器。具体地，被设计为对频道的通道卷积旨在对信道进行编码。它可以通过捕获坐标和特征之间的潜在关系来编码特征通道。与简单地为每个通道分配注意重量相比，我们的方法旨在自适应地对信道进行编码。此外，我们的网络采用了邻域搜索方法的低级和高级双语义接收领域，以提高性能。广泛的实验表明，我们的方法优于三个基准数据集的最先进的点云分类和分段方法。

许多基于点的语义分割方法是为室内场景设计的，但如果它们被应用于户外环境中的LIDAR传感器捕获的点云，则他们挣扎。为了使这些方法更有效和坚固，使得它们可以处理LIDAR数据，我们介绍了重新建立基于3D点的操作的一般概念，使得它们可以在投影空间中运行。虽然我们通过三个基于点的方法显示了重新计算的版本速度快300到400倍，但实现了更高的准确性，但我们还证明了重新制定基于3D点的操作的概念允许设计统一益处的新架构基于点和基于图像的方法。作为示例，我们介绍一种网络，该网络将基于重新的3D点的操作集成到2D编码器 - 解码器架构中，该架构融合来自不同2D尺度的信息。我们评估了四个具有挑战性的语义LIDAR点云分割的方法，并显示利用基于2D图像的操作的重新推出的基于3D点的操作实现了所有四个数据集的非常好的结果。

Scene understanding is crucial for autonomous robots in dynamic environments for making future state predictions, avoiding collisions, and path planning. Camera and LiDAR perception made tremendous progress in recent years, but face limitations under adverse weather conditions. To leverage the full potential of multi-modal sensor suites, radar sensors are essential for safety critical tasks and are already installed in most new vehicles today. In this paper, we address the problem of semantic segmentation of moving objects in radar point clouds to enhance the perception of the environment with another sensor modality. Instead of aggregating multiple scans to densify the point clouds, we propose a novel approach based on the self-attention mechanism to accurately perform sparse, single-scan segmentation. Our approach, called Gaussian Radar Transformer, includes the newly introduced Gaussian transformer layer, which replaces the softmax normalization by a Gaussian function to decouple the contribution of individual points. To tackle the challenge of the transformer to capture long-range dependencies, we propose our attentive up- and downsampling modules to enlarge the receptive field and capture strong spatial relations. We compare our approach to other state-of-the-art methods on the RadarScenes data set and show superior segmentation quality in diverse environments, even without exploiting temporal information.
