Volumetric and Multi-View CNNs for Object Classification on 3D Data

Mar 2019

tl;dr: Improvement of volumetric CNNs (3d shapenets) closes its gap with multi-view CNNs (MVCNN).

Overall impression

The paper starts with one hypothesis: the performance gap of volumetric and multi-view CNN is due to the resolution difference. However experiment shows this only explains part of the gap. The paper then takes on two directions: improve the volumetric CNN architecture, and exploit the resolution in MVCNN. This paper already shows the concise and straightforward style of Charles Qi’s style later shown in pointnet.
