Abstract
In recent years, point cloud super-resolution technology has emerged as a solution to generate a denser set of points from sparse and low-quality point clouds. Traditional point cloud super-resolution methods are often optimized based on constraints such as local surface smoothing; thus, these methods are difficult to be used for complex structures. To address this problem, we proposed a novel graph convolutional point cloud super-resolution network based on a mixed attention mechanism (GCN-MA). This network consisted of two main parts, i.e., feature extraction and point upsampling. For feature extraction, we designed an improved dense connection module that integrated an attention mechanism and graph convolution, enabling the network to make good use of both global and local features of the point cloud for the super-resolution task. For point upsampling, we adopted channel attention to suppress low-frequency information that had little impact on the up-sampling results. The experimental results demonstrated that the proposed method significantly improved the point cloud super-resolution performance of the network compared to other corresponding methods.
