Abstract: The current deep learning-based point cloud upsampling method lacks the attention to a local area feature correlation and multi-scale extraction of global features,resulting in the dense output point cloud with too many outliers and low fine-grained granularity.To solve the above problem,a parallel multi-scale with attention mechanism for point cloud upsampling(PMA-PU) network is proposed,which consists of a feature extractor,a feature expander,a coordinate refiner and a coordinate reconstructor.Firstly,giving an N×3 sparse point cloud as input,a parallel multi-scale feature extraction module(PMA) with an embedded attention mechanism is designed to map the point cloud in 3D space to the high-dimensional feature space to obtain the global and local feature information of the point cloud.Secondly,the high-dimensional point cloud features are obtained after expanding the dimensionality of the point cloud features using the edge convolution feature expander to better preserve the edge information of the point cloud features,and the high-dimensional point cloud features are converted back to the 3D space by the coordinate reconstructors.Finally,the output point cloud details are fine-tuned by using the coordinate refiners.The results of the PMA-PU comparison experiments on the synthetic dataset PU1K show that the generated dense point cloud has significant improvement in the three evaluation metrics,Chamfer Distance(CD),Hausdorff Distance(HD),and P2F(point-to-surface),which are significantly better than the second highest performance.The network models with the second highest performance are optimized by 7.863%,21.631%,and 14.686%,respectively.The visualization results demonstrate that PMA-PU has a better performce feature extractor,which can generate dense point clouds with higher fine granularity and a shape closer to the true value.
