TLDR
In this paper, a simple diffusion layer is proposed for spatial communication on 3D mesh surfaces, and the spatial support of diffusion is optimized as a continuous network parameter ranging from purely local to totally global, removing the burden of manually choosing neighborhood sizes.
Abstract
We introduce a new approach to deep learning on 3D surfaces, based on the insight that a simple diffusion layer is highly effective for spatial communication. The resulting networks automatically generalize across different samplings and resolutions of a surface -- a basic property which is crucial for practical applications. Our networks can be discretized on various geometric representations such as triangle meshes or point clouds, and can even be trained on one representation then applied to another. We optimize the spatial support of diffusion as a continuous network parameter ranging from purely local to totally global, removing the burden of manually choosing neighborhood sizes. The only other ingredients in the method are a multi-layer perceptron applied independently at each point, and spatial gradient features to support directional filters. The resulting networks are simple, robust, and efficient. Here, we focus primarily on triangle mesh surfaces, and demonstrate state-of-the-art results for a variety of tasks including surface classification, segmentation, and non-rigid correspondence.

Mesh Convolutional Autoencoder for Semi-Regular Meshes of Different Sizes

TL;DR: In this article, the authors transform the discretization of the surfaces to semi-regular meshes that have a locally regular connectivity and whose meshing is hierarchical, and they apply the same spatial convolutional filters to the local neighborhoods and define a pooling operator that can be applied to every semiregular mesh and visualize the underlying dynamics of unseen mesh sequences with an autoencoder trained on different classes of meshes.

Primal-Dual Mesh Convolutional Neural Networks

TL;DR: In this article, a primal-dual framework is proposed to aggregate features for both edges and faces of a 3D mesh as input and dynamically aggregates them using an attention mechanism, which can handle variations in the mesh connectivity by clustering mesh faces in a task-driven fashion.

MeshWalker: deep mesh understanding by random walks

TL;DR: MeshWalker as discussed by the authors proposes to represent the mesh by random walks along the surface, which "explore" the mesh's geometry and topology, and feed the walk into a Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) that "remembers" the history of the walk.
