Abstract:
Scene flow in 3D point clouds plays an important role
in understanding dynamic environments. Although significant advances have been made by deep neural networks, the
performance is far from satisfactory as only per-point translational motion is considered, neglecting the constraints of
the rigid motion in local regions. To address the issue, we
propose to introduce the motion consistency to force the
smoothness among neighboring points. In addition, constraints on the rigidity of the local transformation are also
added by sharing unique rigid motion parameters for all
points within each local region. To this end, a high-order
CRFs based relation module (Con-HCRFs) is deployed to
explore both point-wise smoothness and region-wise rigidity. To empower the CRFs to have a discriminative unary
term, we also introduce a position-aware flow estimation
module to be incorporated into the Con-HCRFs. Comprehensive experiments on FlyingThings3D and KITTI show
that our proposed framework (HCRF-Flow) achieves stateof-the-art performance and significantly outperforms previous approaches substantially.
