Multi-view Harmonized Bilinear Network for 3D Object Recognition 论文

摘要

View-based methods have achieved considerable success in 3D object recognition tasks. Different from existing view-based methods pooling the view-wise features, we tackle this problem from the perspective of patches-to-patches similarity measurement. By exploiting the relationship between polynomial kernel and bilinear pooling, we obtain an effective 3D object representation by aggregating local convolutional features through bilinear pooling. Meanwhile, we harmonize different components inherited in the bilinear feature to obtain a more discriminative representation. To achieve an end-to-end trainable framework, we incorporate the harmonized bilinear pooling as a layer of a network, constituting the proposed Multi-view Harmonized Bilinear Network (MHBN). Systematic experiments conducted on two public benchmark datasets demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed methods in 3D object recognition.
