Abstract

Nowadays, point clouds are frequently gathered by 3D scanners such as Lidar and Kinect, which produces thousands of point cloud models. Point cloud processing is vital to 3D vision, especially 3D object recognition, positioning, and navigation technology. Addressing uneven data density caused by coordinate frame transformations and the inherent problem of insufficient context connection in point clouds, the DiM-PCNet (Multi-scale and Multi-level Point Clouds Classification Network, and the Di is a prefix to represent double M in Multi-scale and Multi-level) is proposed in this paper. DiM-PCNet is provided for object classification with multi-scale and multi-level features. We encode the point cloud in multi-scale and fully fuse the features with the raw point cloud for keeping the context relationship. In DiM-PCNet, we sample the point clouds from eight parts for multi-scales feature extraction. The multi-scales features are fully fused by multi-level pyramid models. The multi-scale and multi-level strategies are applied in DiM-PCNet, in which the abundant and important features of point clouds are extracted and utilized in the 3D object classification. It is worth noting that the DiM-PCNet feature block can be embedded into the segmentation net, where the accuracy achieved is 87.1%. We conducted experiments on ShapeNet and ModelNet40 and the experimental results show that DiM-PCNet achieves state-of-the-art performance in 3D object classification. The experiment shows competitive performance on robustness and segmentation tasks.
