Cyclic Global Guiding Network for Point Cloud Completion

Abstract

The application of 3D scenes has gradually expanded in recent years. A 3D point cloud is unreliable when it is acquired because of the performance of the sensor. Therefore, it causes difficulties in utilization. Point cloud completion can reconstruct and restore sparse and incomplete point clouds to a more realistic shape. We propose a cyclic global guiding network structure and apply it to point cloud completion tasks. While learning the local details of the whole cloud, our network structure can play a guiding role and will not ignore the overall characteristics of the whole cloud. Based on global guidance, we propose a variety of fitting planes and layered folding attention modules to strengthen the local effect. We use the relationship between the point and the plane to increase the compatibility between the network learning and the original sparse point cloud. We use the attention mechanism of the layer overlay to strengthen the local effect between the encode and decode. Therefore, point clouds are more accurate. Our experiments indicate the effectiveness of our method on the ShapeNet, KITTI, and MVP datasets and are superior to other networks.
