Deep Neural Network for 3D Shape Classification Based on Mesh Feature.

Abstract

Virtual reality, driverless cars, and robotics all make extensive use of 3D shape classification. One of the most popular ways to represent 3D data is with polygonal meshes. In particular, triangular mesh is frequently employed. A triangular mesh has more features than 3D data formats such as voxels, multi-views, and point clouds. The current challenge is to fully utilize and extract useful information from mesh data. In this paper, a 3D shape classification network based on triangular mesh and graph convolutional neural networks was suggested. The triangular face of this model was viewed as a unit. By obtaining an adjacency matrix from mesh data, graph convolutional neural networks can be utilized to process mesh data. The studies were performed on the ModelNet40 dataset with an accuracy of 91.0%, demonstrating that the classification network in this research may produce effective results.
