Rethinking Network Design and Local Geometry in Point Cloud: A Simple Residual MLP Framework

Overview of one stage in PointMLP. Given an input point cloud, PointMLP progressively extract local features using residual point MLP blocks. In each stage, we first transform local point using a geometric affine module, then local points are are extracted before and after aggregation respectively. By repeating multiple stages, PointMLP progressively enlarge the receptive field and model entire point cloud geometric information.

Classification ModelNet40

The dataset will be automatically downloaded, run following command to train

# train pointMLP
python main.py --model pointMLP
# train pointMLP-elite
python main.py --model pointMLPElite
# please add other paramemters as you wish.

By default, it will create a fold named "checkpoints/{modelName}-{msg}-{randomseed}", which includes args.txt, best_checkpoint.pth, last_checkpoint.pth, log.txt, out.txt.

To conduct voting experiments, run

# please modify the msg accrodingly
python voting.py --model pointMLP --msg demo
