Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If existing deep learning-based point cloud completion methods are used, then a relatively complete point cloud model can be inferred, but local detail features are defective and precision is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the point cloud processing into multi-scale segments by dividing neighboring points into different rings (first ring, second ring, etc.) based on distance from the center point. This segmentation allows the model to process local features at different scales independently, preserving fine-grained local details while maintaining global context, thereby resolving the contradiction between overall completeness and local feature preservation
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies local quality by using position-aware convolution kernels that adaptively adjust their weights based on the spatial position of points. The PAConv module learns position-dependent convolution weights, enabling different parts of the point cloud to be processed with locally optimized features. This ensures that local detail features are extracted with higher precision while maintaining the overall point cloud structure
2Reliability
If traditional convolution operations are used in point cloud processing, then processing is simpler, but the ability to capture local spatial relationships is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic convolution by making convolution kernels adaptive to local point cloud structures. Instead of using fixed convolution kernels, the PAConv module dynamically generates position-specific kernel weights based on the local geometric relationships. This dynamic approach captures complex local spatial relationships while maintaining computational efficiency through shared weight parameters across different positions
3Manufacturing precision
If a simple decoder is used, then the model is easier to train, but the ability to learn complex feature relationships is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs a nested decoder structure where multiple decoding stages are organized hierarchically. The decoder progressively refines the completed point cloud at different scales, with each decoding stage building upon the previous one. This nested architecture enables the model to learn complex feature relationships at multiple levels of abstraction while maintaining a structured and manageable training process

AI summary
The present disclosure discloses a high-precision point cloud completion method based on deep learning and a device thereof, which comprises the following steps: introducing dynamic kernel convolution PAConv into a feature extraction module, learning a weight coefficient according to the positional relationship between each point and its neighboring points, and adaptively constructing the convolution kernel in combination with the weight matrix. A spatial attention mechanism is added to a feature fusion module, which facilitates a decoder to better learn the relationship among various features, and thus better represent the feature information. A discriminator module comprises global and local attention discriminator modules, which use multi-layer full connection to classify and determine whether the generated results conform to the real point cloud distribution globally and locally, respectively, so as to optimize the generated results.
