I-PAttnGAN: An Image-Assisted Point Cloud Generation Method Based on Attention Generative Adversarial Network by Wenwen Li, Yaxing Chen, Qianyue Fan, Meng Yang, Bin Guo, Zhiwen Yu

“…To solve these problems, this paper proposes the I-PAttnGAN network to generate point clouds with image-assisted approaches, which aims to improve the density and uniformity of sparse regions and enhance the representation ability of point cloud data in sparse edge regions for distant objects. I-PAttnGAN uses the normalized flow model to extract the point cloud attention weights dynamically and then integrates the point cloud weights into image features to learn the transformation relationship between the weighted image features and the point cloud distribution, so as to realize the adaptive generation of the point cloud density and resolution. …”
