Complete point clouds using prior knowledge and causal inference with Point-PC

Point-PC: Point Cloud Completion Guided by Prior Knowledge via Causal Inference

Point cloud completion aims to recover raw point clouds captured by scanners from partial observations caused by occlusion and limited view angles.

… propose a novel approach … called Point-PC, which uses a memory network to retrieve shape priors and designs an effective causal inference model to choose missing shape information as additional geometric information to aid point cloud completion.

… propose a memory operating mechanism where the complete shape features and the corresponding shapes are stored in the form of ``key-value’’ pairs.

To retrieve similar shapes from the partial input … apply a contrastive learning-based pre-training scheme to transfer features of incomplete shapes into the domain of complete shape features.

… use backdoor adjustment to get rid of the confounder, which is a part of the shape prior that has the same semantic structure as the partial input.

… Point-PC performs favorably against the state-of-the-art methods.
