TLDR
PointNet++ as discussed by the authors applies PointNet recursively on a nested partitioning of the input point set to learn local features with increasing contextual scales, and proposes novel set learning layers to adaptively combine features from multiple scales.Abstract:
Few prior works study deep learning on point sets. PointNet is a pioneer in this direction. However, by design PointNet does not capture local structures induced by the metric space points live in, limiting its ability to recognize fine-grained patterns and generalizability to complex scenes. In this work, we introduce a hierarchical neural network that applies PointNet recursively on a nested partitioning of the input point set. By exploiting metric space distances, our network is able to learn local features with increasing contextual scales. With further observation that point sets are usually sampled with varying densities, which results in greatly decreased performance for networks trained on uniform densities, we propose novel set learning layers to adaptively combine features from multiple scales. Experiments show that our network called PointNet++ is able to learn deep point set features efficiently and robustly. In particular, results significantly better than state-of-the-art have been obtained on challenging benchmarks of 3D point clouds.read more

Automated semantic segmentation of industrial point clouds using ResPointNet
TL;DR: A novel deep learning-based approach, ResPointNet++, by integrating deep residual learning with conventional PointNet++ network is proposed, which contributes to automated 3D scene interpretation of industrial point clouds as well as the as-built BIM creation for industrial components such as pipes and beams.

Classification of tree species and standing dead trees by fusing uav-based lidar data and multispectral imagery in the 3d deep neural network pointnet++
TL;DR: The performance of the 3D DNN is highly promising for the classification of multiple tree species and standing dead trees in practice and was clearly superior to a baseline method using a random forest classifier and handcrafted features.
