摘要

In recent years, advancements in 3D acquisition technologies have enabled the large-scale capture of high-precision point clouds, crucial for applications demanding fine spatial detail. However, the unordered structure, sparsity, and non-uniform density of point clouds present significant challenges for deep feature learning: The irregular structure complicates long-range dependency modeling, while sparsity and non-uniform density lead to computationally expensive and complex local geometric representation. To address these, we propose GD-DGT, a novel architecture integrating geometric-aware dynamic graph convolution with the attention mechanism. Our approach dynamically constructs local graphs to encode spatial relationships and adaptively aggregates neighborhood features to handle geometric anisotropy, while simultaneously employing Transformer modules to capture global dependencies. A multi-scale feature fusion strategy is further incorporated to meet the substantial computational and memory demands of large-scale point cloud processing. Extensive evaluations on ModelNet40, ShapeNetPart, and S3DIS benchmarks demonstrate that GD-DGT delivers notable and consistent gains over established baseline methods. Ablation studies validate the complementary roles of individual components. Our work underscores the effectiveness of combining graph convolution with Transformers for enhanced 3D point cloud feature learning. Code is available at: https://github.com/Alyc-0101/GD-DGT.
