| Description | Completing point clouds from partial terrestrial laser scannings (TLS) is a fundamental step for many 3D visual applications, such as remote sensing, digital city and autonomous driving. However, existing methods mainly followed an ordinary auto-encoder architecture with only partial point clouds as inputs, and adopted K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN) operations to extract local geometric features, which takes insufficient advantage of input point clouds and has limited ability to extract features from long-range geometric relationships, respectively. In this paper, we propose a keypoints-aligned siamese (KASiam) network for the completion of partial TLS point clouds. The network follows a novel siamese auto-encoder architecture, to learn prior geometric information of complete shapes by aligning keypoints of complete-partial pairs during the stage of training. Moreover, we propose two essential blocks cross-attention perception (CAP) and self-attention augment (SAA), which replace KNN operations with attention mechanisms and are able to establish long-range geometric relationships among points by selecting neighborhoods adaptively at the global level. Experiments are conducted on widely used benchmarks and several TLS data, which demonstrate that our method outperforms other state-of-the-art methods by a 4.72% reduction of the average Chamfer Distance of categories in PCN dataset at least, and can generate finer shapes of point clouds on partial TLS data. |
