Description
Summary:Automated generation of geometric models from point cloud data holds significant importance in the field of computer vision and has expansive applications, such as shape modeling and object recognition. However, prevalent methods exhibit accuracy issues. In this study, we introduce a novel hierarchical neural network that utilizes recursive PointConv operations on nested subdivisions of point sets. This network effectively extracts features, segments point clouds, and accurately identifies and computes parameters of regular geometric primitives with notable resilience to noise. On fine-grained primitive detection, our approach outperforms Supervised Primitive Fitting Network (SPFN) by 18.5% and Cascaded Primitive Fitting Network (CPFN) by 11.2%. Additionally, our approach consistently maintains low absolute errors in parameter prediction across varying noise levels in the point cloud data. Our experiments validate the robustness of our proposed method and establish its superiority relative to other methodologies in the extant literature.
