Yaori Zhang, Shujin Lin, Fan Zhou, Ruomei Wang

Abstract: This paper presents a novel hierarchical attention feature fusion and refinement network designed to address challenges in existing deep learning based point cloud upsampling methods. The network combines self-attention layers with a multi-level feature extraction architecture, effectively integrating local and global features, thereby enhancing the robustness and uniformity of the point cloud. Furthermore, a spatial refinement module is employed to predict the offset between the generated coarse dense point clouds and real point clouds, thereby enhancing consistency with the ground truth. Concurrently, a filter function is applied in the loss function to handle outliers of generated point clouds. Extensive experimental results across multiple datasets indicate that our method outperforms existing approaches.
