PointCNN is a simple and general framework for feature learning from point cloud, which refreshed five benchmark records in point cloud processing (as of Jan. 23, 2018), including:
- classification accuracy on ModelNet40 (91.7%, with 1024 input points only)
- classification accuracy on ScanNet (77.9%)
- segmentation part averaged IoU on ShapeNet Parts (86.13%)
- segmentation mean IoU on S3DIS (65.39%)
- per voxel labelling accuracy on ScanNet (85.1%)
See our preprint on arXiv (accepted to NeurIPS 2018) for more details.

The core X-Conv and PointCNN architecture are defined in pointcnn.py.
The network/training/data augmentation hyper parameters for classification tasks are defined in pointcnn_cls, for segmentation tasks are defined in pointcnn_seg.
Take the xconv_params and xdconv_params from shapenet_x8_2048_fps.py for example:
xconv_param_name = ('K', 'D', 'P', 'C', 'links')
xconv_params = [dict(zip(xconv_param_name, xconv_param)) for xconv_param in
[(8, 1, -1, 32 * x, []),
(12, 2, 768, 32 * x, []),
(16, 2, 384, 64 * x, []),
(16, 6, 128, 128 * x, [])]]
xdconv_param_name = ('K', 'D', 'pts_layer_idx', 'qrs_layer_idx')
xdconv_params = [dict(zip(xdconv_param_name, xdconv_param)) for xdconv_param in
[(16, 6, 3, 2),
(12, 6, 2, 1),
(8, 6, 1, 0),
(8, 4, 0, 0)]]
Each element in xconv_params is a tuple of (K, D, P, C, links), where K is the neighborhood size, D is the dilation rate, P is the representative point number in the output (-1 means all input points are output representative points), and C is the output channel number. The links are used for adding DenseNet style links, e.g., [-1, -2] will tell the current layer to receive inputs from the previous two layers. Each element specifies the parameters of one X-Conv layer, and they are stacked to create a deep network.
Each element in xdconv_params is a tuple of (K, D, pts_layer_idx, qrs_layer_idx), where K and D have the same meaning as that in xconv_params, pts_layer_idx specifies the output of which X-Conv layer (from the xconv_params) will be the input of this X-DeConv layer, and qrs_layer_idx specifies the output of which X-Conv layer (from the xconv_params) will be forwarded and fused with the output of this X-DeConv layer. The P and C parameters of this X-DeConv layer is also determined by qrs_layer_idx. Similarly, each element specifies the parameters of one X-DeConv layer, and they are stacked to create a deep network.
PointCNN is implemented and tested with Tensorflow 1.6 in python3 scripts. Tensorflow before 1.5 version is not recommended, because of API. It has dependencies on some python packages such as transforms3d, h5py, plyfile, and maybe more if it complains. Install these packages before the use of PointCNN.
If you can only use Tensorflow 1.5 because of OS factor(UBUNTU 14.04),please modify "isnan()" to "std::nan()" in "/usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/tensorflow/include/tensorflow/core/framework/numeric_types.h" line 49
Here we list the commands for training/evaluating PointCNN on classification and segmentation tasks on multiple datasets.

We use farthest point sampling (the implementation from PointNet++) in segmentation tasks. Compile FPS before the training/evaluation:

We use a hidden marker file to note when prepare is finished to avoid re-processing. This cache can be invalidated by deleting the markers.
Please notice that these command just for Area 1 (specified by -a 1 option) validation. Results on other Areas can be computed by iterating -a option.
