文章解读 Cycle4Completion: Unpaired Point Cloud Completion using Cycle Transformation with Missing Region Coding

摘要（abstract）

In this paper, we present a novel unpaired point cloud completion network, named Cycle4Completion, to infer the complete geometries from a partial 3D object. Previous unpaired completion methods merely focus on the learning of geometric correspondence from incomplete shapes to complete shapes, and ignore the learning in the reverse direction, which makes them suffer from low completion accuracy due to the limited 3D shape understanding ability. To address this problem, we propose two simultaneous cycle transformations between the latent spaces of complete shapes and incomplete ones. The insight of cycle transformation is to promote networks to understand 3D shapes by learning to generate complete or incomplete shapes from their complementary ones. Specifically, the first cycle transforms shapes from incomplete domain to complete domain, and then projects them back to the incomplete domain. This process learns the geometric characteristic of complete shapes, and maintains the shape consistency between the complete prediction and the incomplete input. Similarly, the inverse cycle transformation starts from complete domain to incomplete domain, and goes back to complete domain to learn the characteristic of incomplete shapes. We provide a comprehensive evaluation in experiments, which shows that our model with the learned bidirectional geometry correspondence outperforms state-of-the-art unpaired completion methods.

在本文中，我们提出了一种新的非配对点云完成网络，名为Cycle4Completion，用于从部分3D对象推断完整的几何体。以往的非配对完成方法只关注从不完整形状到完整形状的几何对应学习，而忽略了反向学习，由于三维形状理解能力有限，完成精度较低。为了解决这个问题，我们提出了两个同时循环变换之间的潜在空间的完整形状和不完整的。循环变换的观点是通过学习从互补的形状生成完整或不完整的形状来促进网络理解3D形状。具体来说，第一个周期将形状从不完整域转换为完整域，然后将其投影回不完整域。该过程学习完整形状的几何特征，保持完全预测与不完全输入之间的形状一致性。同样，逆循环变换从完全域开始到不完全域，然后返回到完全域学习不完全形状的特征。我们在实验中提供了一个综合评估，这表明我们的模型和学习到的双向几何对应优于最先进的非配对完成方法。
