Point cloud upsampling aims to generate dense and uniformly distributed point sets from a sparse point cloud, which plays a critical role in 3D computer vision. Previous methods typically split a sparse point cloud into several local patches, upsample patch points, and merge all upsampled patches. However, these methods often produce holes, outliers or non-uniformity due to the splitting and merging process which does not maintain consistency among local patches.To address these issues, we propose a novel approach that learns an unsigned distance field guided by local priors for point cloud upsampling.  Specifically, we train a local distance indicator (LDI) that predicts the unsigned distance from a query point to a local implicit surface. Utilizing the learned LDI, we learn an unsigned distance field to represent the sparse point cloud with patch consistency. At inference time, we randomly sample queries around the sparse point cloud, and project these query points onto the zero-level set of the learned implicit field to generate a dense point cloud. We justify that the implicit field is naturally continuous, which inherently enables the application of arbitrary-scale upsampling without necessarily retraining for various scales. We conduct comprehensive experiments on both synthetic data and real scans, and report state-of-the-art results under widely used benchmarks. Project page: https://lisj575.github.io/APU-LDI

Learning Continuous Implicit Field with Local Distance Indicator for Arbitrary-Scale Point Cloud Upsampling

Main Track - Computer Vision

technical paper

We are pleased to announce the Thirty-Eighth AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence (AAAI-24), which will be held in Vancouver, British Columbia at the Vancouver Convention Centre – West Building from 20-27 February, 2024.

The purpose of the AAAI conference series is to promote research in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and foster scientific exchange between researchers, practitioners, scientists, students, and engineers across the entirety of AI and its affiliated disciplines. AAAI-24 will feature technical paper presentations, special tracks, invited speakers, workshops, tutorials, poster sessions, senior member presentations, competitions, and exhibit programs, and a range of other activities to be announced.

We expect for AAAI-24 to be an in-person conference – one author of all accepted papers will be expected to present work in person unless there are exceptional circumstances that prevent this.<br><br><br><br>
