- 设计噪声注入脉冲神经元与图卷积,提升点云的扰动感知表征能力。
- 纯脉冲网络在PU-Net和PC-Net上能耗显著降低,精度损失小。
- 混合架构可在少量时间步内实现高能效比,适合部署于类脑芯片。
受生物神经系统的脉冲计算机制启发,脉冲神经网络(SNN)在2D分类任务中展现出优于传统人工神经网络(ANN)的能效优势。然而,SNN在3D点云处理中的回归潜力尚未被充分探索。本文提出噪声注入脉冲图卷积网络,以释放SNN在3D点云去噪中的完整回归能力。首先,通过模拟噪声注入神经元动力学构建噪声注入脉冲神经元;在此基础上,设计噪声注入脉冲图卷积,促进对3D点的扰动感知表征学习。基于脉冲图卷积,构建两种SNN-based去噪网络:一种为纯脉冲图卷积网络,在两个基准数据集PU-Net和PC-Net上相比部分ANN基方法精度损失小,但能耗显著降低;另一种为混合架构,在极少数时间步内即实现高性能与高能效的平衡。本工作揭示了SNN在3D点云去噪中的潜力,为类脑芯片部署及低功耗3D数据采集设备开发提供了新思路。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Spiking neural networks (SNNs), inspired by the spiking computation paradigm of the biological neural systems, have exhibited superior energy efficiency in 2D classification tasks over traditional artificial neural networks (ANNs). However, the regression potential of SNNs has not been well explored, especially in 3D point cloud processing. In this paper, we propose noise-injected spiking graph convolutional networks to leverage the full regression potential of SNNs in 3D point cloud denoising. Specifically, we first emulate the noise-injected neuronal dynamics to build noise-injected spiking neurons. On this basis, we design noise-injected spiking graph convolution for promoting disturbance-aware spiking representation learning on 3D points. Starting from the spiking graph convolution, we build two SNN-based denoising networks. One is a purely spiking graph convolutional network, which achieves low accuracy loss compared with some ANN-based alternatives, while resulting in significantly reduced energy consumption on two benchmark datasets, PU-Net and PC-Net. The other is a hybrid architecture that combines ANN-based learning with a high performance-efficiency trade-off in just a few time steps. Our work lights up SNN's potential for 3D point cloud denoising, injecting new perspectives of exploring the deployment on neuromorphic chips while paving the way for developing energy-efficient 3D data acquisition devices.
