[Paper]

Overview

We propose a graph attention based point neural network, named GAPNet, to learn shape representations for point cloud. Experiments show state-of-the-art performance in shape classification and semantic part segmentation tasks.

In this repository, we release code for training a GAPNet classification network on ModelNet40 dataset and a part segmentation network on ShapeNet part dataset.

Requirement

• TensorFlow

Point Cloud Classification

• Run the training script:

python train.py

• Run the evaluation script after training finished:

python evaluate.py --model=network --model_path=log/epoch_185_model.ckpt

Point Cloud Part Segmentation

• Run the training script:

python train_multi_gpu.py

• Run the evaluation script after training finished:

python test.py --model_path train_results/trained_models/epoch_130.ckpt
