Neural kernel surface reconstruction

J Huang, Z Gojcic, M Atzmon, O Litany… - Proceedings of the …, 2023 - openaccess.thecvf.com
We present a novel method for reconstructing a 3D implicit surface from a large-scale,
sparse, and noisy point cloud. Our approach builds upon the recently introduced Neural …

How to represent part-whole hierarchies in a neural network

G Hinton - Neural Computation, 2023 - direct.mit.edu
This article does not describe a working system. Instead, it presents a single idea about
representation that allows advances made by several different groups to be combined into …

Growsp: Unsupervised semantic segmentation of 3d point clouds

Z Zhang, B Yang, B Wang, B Li - Proceedings of the IEEE …, 2023 - openaccess.thecvf.com
We study the problem of 3D semantic segmentation from raw point clouds. Unlike existing
methods which primarily rely on a large amount of human annotations for training neural …

Object-Centric Learning with Capsule Networks: A Survey

F De Sousa Ribeiro, K Duarte, M Everett… - ACM Computing …, 2024 - dl.acm.org
Capsule networks emerged as a promising alternative to convolutional neural networks for
learning object-centric representations. The idea is to explicitly model part-whole hierarchies …

Sqn: Weakly-supervised semantic segmentation of large-scale 3d point clouds

Q Hu, B Yang, G Fang, Y Guo, A Leonardis… - … on Computer Vision, 2022 - Springer
Labelling point clouds fully is highly time-consuming and costly. As larger point cloud
datasets with billions of points become more common, we ask whether the full annotation is …

RoReg: Pairwise point cloud registration with oriented descriptors and local rotations

H Wang, Y Liu, Q Hu, B Wang, J Chen… - … on Pattern Analysis …, 2023 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
We present RoReg, a novel point cloud registration framework that fully exploits oriented
descriptors and estimated local rotations in the whole registration pipeline. Previous …

You only hypothesize once: Point cloud registration with rotation-equivariant descriptors

H Wang, Y Liu, Z Dong, W Wang - Proceedings of the 30th ACM …, 2022 - dl.acm.org
In this paper, we propose a novel local descriptor-based framework, called You Only
Hypothesize Once (YOHO), for the registration of two unaligned point clouds. In contrast to …

Pointersect: Neural rendering with cloud-ray intersection

JHR Chang, WY Chen, A Ranjan… - Proceedings of the …, 2023 - openaccess.thecvf.com
We propose a novel method that renders point clouds as if they are surfaces. The proposed
method is differentiable and requires no scene-specific optimization. This unique capability …
