PatchAugment

UPDATE: Pre-trained models of ablation study and DGCNN code will be released SOON...

Classification

This code submission is to reproduce 3D Shape Classification results of PointNet++ with PatchAugment on ModelNet40 dataset.

Download Code and Unzip

unzip PatchAugment.zip cd PatchAugment

Environments

Ubuntu 18.04
Python 3.8.3
Pytorch 1.7.0

Dataset

The train script downloads the ModelNet40 dataset (make sure it is in data folder)
https://shapenet.cs.stanford.edu/media/modelnet40_ply_hdf5_2048.zip

Run

Training
--------
python train_cls.py --model pointnet2_cls_ssg --log_dir log

uncomment layer in the model file for full model training

Testing
-------
python test_cls.py --log_dir logSA

Performance

3D classification accuracy on PointNet++ single SA with our PatchAugment is 93.0%

Note

Note: This code has been heaviy borrowed from https://github.com/yanx27/Pointnet_Pointnet2_pytorch Also, the original code only includes scaling and translation from conventional data augmentation(using the aligned modelnet40 dataset). Hence the reported accuracies are higher. With all DA the accuracy drops(classification without normals on SSG model). However, in our method PatchAugment boosts the overall accuracy using all Data Augmentations at patch level instead of object level. Also, we use unaligned modelnet40 dataset.
