DSMNet: Deep High-precision 3D Surface Modeling from Sparse Point Cloud Frames

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Existing point cloud modeling datasets primarily express the modeling precision by pose or trajectory precision rather than the point cloud modeling effect itself. Under this demand, we first independently construct a set of LiDAR system with an optical stage, and then we build a HPMB dataset based on the constructed LiDAR system, a High-Precision, Multi-Beam, real-world dataset. Second, we propose an modeling evaluation method based on HPMB for object-level modeling to overcome this limitation. In addition, the existing point cloud modeling methods tend to generate continuous skeletons of the global environment, hence lacking attention to the shape of complex objects. To tackle this challenge, we propose a novel learning-based joint framework, DSMNet, for high-precision 3D surface modeling from sparse point cloud frames. DSMNet comprises density-aware Point Cloud Registration (PCR) and geometry-aware Point Cloud Sampling (PCS) to effectively learn the implicit structure feature of sparse point clouds. Extensive experiments demonstrate that DSMNet outperforms the state-of-the-art methods in PCS and PCR on Multi-View Partial Point Cloud (MVP) database. Furthermore, the experiments on the open source KITTI and our proposed HPMB datasets show that DSMNet can be generalized as a post-processing of Simultaneous Localization And Mapping (SLAM), thereby improving modeling precision in environments with sparse point clouds.


ConTIG: Continuous Representation Learning on Temporal Interaction Graphs

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Representation learning on temporal interaction graphs (TIG) is to model complex networks with the dynamic evolution of interactions arising in a broad spectrum of problems. Existing dynamic embedding methods on TIG discretely update node embeddings merely when an interaction occurs. They fail to capture the continuous dynamic evolution of embedding trajectories of nodes. In this paper, we propose a two-module framework named ConTIG, a continuous representation method that captures the continuous dynamic evolution of node embedding trajectories. With two essential modules, our model exploit three-fold factors in dynamic networks which include latest interaction, neighbor features and inherent characteristics. In the first update module, we employ a continuous inference block to learn the nodes' state trajectories by learning from time-adjacent interaction patterns between node pairs using ordinary differential equations. In the second transform module, we introduce a self-attention mechanism to predict future node embeddings by aggregating historical temporal interaction information. Experiments results demonstrate the superiority of ConTIG on temporal link prediction, temporal node recommendation and dynamic node classification tasks compared with a range of state-of-the-art baselines, especially for long-interval interactions prediction.
