News：Our paper has been accepted by AAAI-2024.

1. Environment setup

Install related libraries

This code has been tested on Ubuntu 20.04, python 3.8.12, torch 1.9.0 and cuda 11.2. Please install related libraries before running this code:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Compile Pytorch 3rd-party modules

please compile Pytorch 3rd-party modules ChamferDistancePytorch and mm3d_pn2. A simple way is using the following command:

cd $PointAttN_Home/utils/ChamferDistancePytorch/chamfer3D
python setup.py install

cd $PointAttN_Home/utils/mm3d_pn2
python setup.py build_ext --inplace

2. Train

Prepare training datasets

Download the datasets:

• PCN(raw data)
• PCN(processed data)
• Completion3D

Train a model

To train the PointAttN model, modify the dataset path in cfgs/PointAttN.yaml, run:

python train.py -c PointAttN.yaml

3. Test

Pretrained models

The pretrained models on Completion3D and PCN benchmark are available as follows:

Test for paper result

To test PointAttN on PCN benchmark, download the pretrained model and put it into PointAttN_cd_debug_pcndirectory, run:

python test_pcn.py -c PointAttN.yaml

To test PointAttN on Completion3D benchmark, download the pretrained model and put it into PointAttN_cd_debug_c3ddirectory, run:

python test_c3d.py -c PointAttN.yaml
