Noise-resistant Deep Learning for Object Classification in 3D Point Clouds Using a Point Pair Descriptor

5 Apr 2018  ·  Dmytro Bobkov, Sili Chen, Ruiqing Jian, Muhammad Iqbal, Eckehard Steinbach ·

Object retrieval and classification in point cloud data is challenged by noise, irregular sampling density and occlusion. To address this issue, we propose a point pair descriptor that is robust to noise and occlusion and achieves high retrieval accuracy. We further show how the proposed descriptor can be used in a 4D convolutional neural network for the task of object classification. We propose a novel 4D convolutional layer that is able to learn class-specific clusters in the descriptor histograms. Finally, we provide experimental validation on 3 benchmark datasets, which confirms the superiority of the proposed approach.
