Data-Driven Shape Analysis and Processing
Data-driven methods play an increasingly important role in discovering
geometric, structural, and semantic relationships between 3D shapes in
collections, and applying this analysis to support intelligent modeling,
editing, and visualization of geometric data. In contrast to traditional
approaches, a key feature of data-driven approaches is that they aggregate
information from a collection of shapes to improve the analysis and processing
of individual shapes. In addition, they are able to learn models that reason
about properties and relationships of shapes without relying on hard-coded
rules or explicitly programmed instructions. We provide an overview of the main
concepts and components of these techniques, and discuss their application to
shape classification, segmentation, matching, reconstruction, modeling and
exploration, as well as scene analysis and synthesis, through reviewing the
literature and relating the existing works with both qualitative and numerical
comparisons. We conclude our report with ideas that can inspire future research
in data-driven shape analysis and processing.Comment: 10 pages, 19 figure
3DFeat-Net: Weakly Supervised Local 3D Features for Point Cloud Registration
In this paper, we propose the 3DFeat-Net which learns both 3D feature
detector and descriptor for point cloud matching using weak supervision. Unlike
many existing works, we do not require manual annotation of matching point
clusters. Instead, we leverage on alignment and attention mechanisms to learn
feature correspondences from GPS/INS tagged 3D point clouds without explicitly
specifying them. We create training and benchmark outdoor Lidar datasets, and
experiments show that 3DFeat-Net obtains state-of-the-art performance on these
gravity-aligned datasets.Comment: 17 pages, 6 figures. Accepted in ECCV 201
