PointAugment: an Auto-Augmentation Framework for Point Cloud Classification

This repository contains a PyTorch implementation of the paper:

PointAugment: an Auto-Augmentation Framework for Point Cloud Classification.
Ruihui Li, Xianzhi Li, Pheng-Ann Heng, Chi-Wing Fu.
CVPR 2020 (Oral)

Dependencies

• Python 3.6
• CUDA 10.0.
• PyTorch. Codes are tested with version 1.2.0
• (Optional) TensorboardX for visualization of the training process.

Following is the suggested way to install these dependencies:

# Create a new conda environment
conda create -n PointAugment python=3.6
conda activate PointAugment

# Install pytorch (please refer to the commend in the official website)
conda install pytorch=1.2.0 torchvision cudatoolkit=10.0 -c pytorch -y

Usage

Download the ModelNet40 dataset from here.

To train a model to classify point clouds sampled from 3D shapes:

python train_PA.py --data_dir ModelNet40_Folder

Log files and network parameters will be saved to log folder in default.

Noted that the code may be not stable, if you can help please contact me.
