A Conditional Point Diffusion-Refinement Paradigm for 3D Point Cloud Completion

Abstract: 3D point cloud is an important 3D representation for capturing real world 3D objects. However, real-scanned 3D point clouds are often incomplete, and it is important to recover complete point clouds for downstream applications. Most existing point cloud completion methods use Chamfer Distance (CD) loss for training. The CD loss estimates correspondences between two point clouds by searching nearest neighbors, which does not capture the overall point density distribution on the generated shape, and therefore li… Show more

“…Recently, diffusion models 23 have received a huge amount of attention in computer vision tasks 242526 , especially in point could generation 272829 which is similar to 3D molecule generation. These methods can inpaint the 3D objects by learning the joint distribution.…”

“…New metrics, such as BCD [22] and EMD, can be leveraged for evaluation. Recently, diffusion models [9] provide impressive point cloud completion results, which also circumvent the imbalance issue. In addition, unsupervised [31] or selfsupervised [19] point cloud completion can also be studied.…”

“…Facing these challenges mentioned above, we propose to generate meshes indirectly via an intermediate representation that is easier to model. Inspired by recent successes of deep neural networks in modeling the distribution of point clouds [2,22,24,38,43] and reconstructing meshes from point clouds [11,27], we propose to use point clouds as an intermediate representation of meshes. Consequently, the generation of meshes is effectively reformulated as the generation of point clouds, followed by transforming point clouds into meshes.…”

“…Such a reformulation not only enables us to take advantage of the advances of point cloud generation methods, but also successfully bypasses the aforementioned challenges, as the distribution of point clouds is continuous and point clouds are unordered sets without explicit topology. In this paper, we adopt denoising diffusion probabilistic models (DDPMs) [13,32], demonstrated promising results in modeling point clouds [22,24,43], to learn the distribution of the point clouds. And Shape as Points (SAP) [27] is employed to reconstruct meshes from the generated point clouds, which is a powerful surface reconstruction technique that can extract high-quality watertight meshes from point clouds at low inference times.…”
