用流匹配直接上采样点云,更高效且保留几何结构
Efficient Point Clouds Upsampling via Flow Matching
- 通过中点插值和EMD对齐,解决稀疏与稠密点云密度不一致问题
- 在合成数据上仅用较少采样步数即达到更高上采样质量
- 适用于真实场景的RGB-D与激光雷达点云,泛化性强
扩散模型虽在点云上采样中展现潜力,但因将高斯噪声映射为真实点云,忽视了稀疏点云的几何信息,导致效率低下。为此,我们提出PUFM,一种直接将稀疏点云映射为高保真稠密点云的流匹配方法。首先采用中点插值解决稀疏与稠密点云间的密度差异;由于点云为无序表示,引入基于地球移动距离(EMD)优化的预对齐方法,确保插值连贯性,提升流匹配学习稳定性。在合成数据集上的实验表明,该方法以更少采样步数实现更优上采样质量。对ScanNet和KITTI数据集的进一步实验显示,该方法在RGB-D点云与激光雷达点云上均有良好泛化能力,更具实际应用价值。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Diffusion models are a powerful framework for tackling ill-posed problems, with recent advancements extending their use to point cloud upsampling. Despite their potential, existing diffusion models struggle with inefficiencies as they map Gaussian noise to real point clouds, overlooking the geometric information inherent in sparse point clouds. To address these inefficiencies, we propose PUFM, a flow matching approach to directly map sparse point clouds to their high-fidelity dense counterparts. Our method first employs midpoint interpolation to sparse point clouds, resolving the density mismatch between sparse and dense point clouds. Since point clouds are unordered representations, we introduce a pre-alignment method based on Earth Mover's Distance (EMD) optimization to ensure coherent interpolation between sparse and dense point clouds, which enables a more stable learning path in flow matching. Experiments on synthetic datasets demonstrate that our method delivers superior upsampling quality but with fewer sampling steps. Further experiments on ScanNet and KITTI also show that our approach generalizes well on RGB-D point clouds and LiDAR point clouds, making it more practical for real-world applications.
