Multi-Head Self-Attention Enhanced Score Network for Point Cloud Denoising

Point cloud denoising is essential for 3D vision applications. Existing score-based methods use dynamic graph convolutional networks for feature extraction but struggle to model long-range dependencies, causing geometric distortions and residual noise. We propose a denoising framework that integrates multi-head self-attention (MHSA) with graph convolutional layers to capture both local and global features. Graph convolutions extract local geometric details, while MHSA models long-range semantic correlations for precise denoising under global constraints. Experiments on the PUNet and Paris-rue-Madame datasets show our method outperforms other deep learning approaches across various noise levels and point resolutions, achieving superior denoising accuracy and geometric fidelity.

Abstract

Point cloud denoising is essential for 3D vision applications. Existing score-based methods use dynamic graph convolutional networks for feature extraction but struggle to model long-range dependencies, causing geometric distortions and residual noise. We propose a denoising framework that integrates multi-head self-attention (MHSA) with graph convolutional layers to capture both local and global features. Graph convolutions extract local geometric details, while MHSA models long-range semantic correlations for precise denoising under global constraints. Experiments on the PUNet and Paris-rue-Madame datasets show our method outperforms other deep learning approaches across various noise levels and point resolutions, achieving superior denoising accuracy and geometric fidelity.
