DAN: Deep-Attention Network for 3D Shape Recognition

Abstract

Due to the wide applications in a rapidly increasing number of different fields, 3D shape recognition has become a hot topic in the computer vision field. Many approaches have been proposed in recent years. However, there remain huge challenges in two aspects: exploring the effective representation of 3D shapes and reducing the redundant complexity of 3D shapes. In this paper, we propose a novel deep-attention network (DAN) for 3D shape representation based on multiview information. More specifically, we introduce the attention mechanism to construct a deep multiattention network that has advantages in two aspects: 1) information selection, in which DAN utilizes the self-attention mechanism to update the feature vector of each view, effectively reducing the redundant information, and 2) information fusion, in which DAN applies attention mechanism that can save more effective information by considering the correlations among views. Meanwhile, deep network structure can fully consider the correlations to continuously fuse effective information. To validate the effectiveness of our proposed method, we conduct experiments on the public 3D shape datasets: ModelNet40, ModelNet10, and ShapeNetCore55. Experimental results and comparison with state-of-the-art methods demonstrate the superiority of our proposed method. Code is released on https://github.com/RiDang/DANN.
