Abstract:
Convolutional neural networks (CNN) have achieved remarkable results in various computer vision and pattern recognition applications. However, in computer graphics and geometry processing, the focus is on non-Euclidean structured meshed surfaces. Since CNNs operate based on Euclidean domains, the fundamental operations of CNNs, such as convolution and pooling, are not well defined in non-Euclidean domains. To address this issue, we propose a novel mesh representation named Heat Kernel Mesh (HKM), which utilizes the heat diffusion on the non-Euclidean domain. The HKM represents a meshed surface as a spatio-temporal graph signal, sampled on the edges of the mesh at each time interval with a Euclidean-like structure. Furthermore, we propose the Heat Kernel Mesh-Based Convolutional Neural Network (HKMCNN), where convolution, pooling, and attention mechanism are designed based on the property of our representation and operate on edges. For the fine-grained classification, we propose distance Heat Kernel Mesh (dHKM) that can identify discriminant features with the HKMCNN to represent a mesh. Extensive experiments on mesh classification and segmentation demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed HKMCNN.
