This paper presents a new deep learning architecture called PointGrid that is designed for 3D model recognition from unorganized point clouds. The new architecture embeds the input point cloud into a 3D grid by a simple, yet effective, sampling strategy and directly learns transformations and features from their raw coordinates. The proposed method is an integration of point and grid, a hybrid model, that leverages the simplicity of grid-based approaches such as VoxelNet while avoid its information loss. PointGrid learns better global information compared with PointNet and is much simpler than PointNet++, Kd-Net, Oct-Net and O-CNN, yet provides comparable recognition accuracy. With experiments on popular shape recognition benchmarks, PointGrid demonstrates competitive performance over existing deep learning methods on both classification and segmentation.
