This repository contains PyTorch implementation for Point-BERT:Pre-Training 3D Point Cloud Transformers with Masked Point Modeling (CVPR 2022).

Point-BERT is a new paradigm for learning Transformers to generalize the concept of BERT onto 3D point cloud. Inspired by BERT, we devise a Masked Point Modeling (MPM) task to pre-train point cloud Transformers. Specifically, we first divide a point cloud into several local patches, and a point cloud Tokenizer is devised via a discrete Variational AutoEncoder (dVAE) to generate discrete point tokens containing meaningful local information. Then, we randomly mask some patches of input point clouds and feed them into the backbone Transformer. The pre-training objective is to recover the original point tokens at the masked locations under the supervision of point tokens obtained by the Tokenizer.

Dataset

We use ShapeNet for the training of dVAE and the pre-training of Point-BERT models. And finetuning the Point-BERT models on ModelNet, ScanObjectNN, ShapeNetPart

The details of used datasets can be found in DATASET.md.

dVAE

To train a dVAE by yourself, simply run:

bash scripts/train.sh <GPU_IDS>\
    --config cfgs/ShapeNet55_models/dvae.yaml \
    --exp_name <name>

Visualize the reconstruction results of a pre-trained dVAE, run: (default path: ./vis)

bash ./scripts/test.sh <GPU_IDS> \
    --ckpts <path>\
    --config cfgs/ShapeNet55_models/dvae.yaml\
    --exp_name <name>

Point-BERT pre-training

To pre-train the Point-BERT models on ShapeNet, simply run: (complete the ckpt in cfgs/Mixup_models/Point-BERT.yaml first )

bash ./scripts/dist_train_BERT.sh <NUM_GPU> <port>\
    --config cfgs/Mixup_models/Point-BERT.yaml \
    --exp_name pointBERT_pretrain 
    [--val_freq 10]

val_freq controls the frequence to evaluate the Transformer on ModelNet40 with LinearSVM.

Fine-tuning on downstream tasks

We finetune our Point-BERT on 4 downstream tasks: Classfication on ModelNet40, Few-shot learning on ModelNet40, Transfer learning on ScanObjectNN and Part segmentation on ShapeNetPart.

ModelNet40

To finetune a pre-trained Point-BERT model on ModelNet40, simply run:

# 1024 points
bash ./scripts/train_BERT.sh <GPU_IDS> \
    --config cfgs/ModelNet_models/PointTransformer.yaml\
    --finetune_model\
    --ckpts <path>\
    --exp_name <name>
# 4096 points
bash ./scripts/train_BERT.sh <GPU_IDS>\
    --config cfgs/ModelNet_models/PointTransformer_4096point.yaml\ 
    --finetune_model\ 
    --ckpts <path>\
    --exp_name <name>
# 8192 points
bash ./scripts/train_BERT.sh <GPU_IDS>\
    --config cfgs/ModelNet_models/PointTransformer_8192point.yaml\ 
    --finetune_model\ 
    --ckpts <path>\
    --exp_name <name>

To evaluate a model finetuned on ModelNet40, simply run:

bash ./scripts/test_BERT.sh <GPU_IDS>\
    --config cfgs/ModelNet_models/PointTransformer.yaml \
    --ckpts <path> \
    --exp_name <name>

Few-shot Learning on ModelNet40

We follow the few-shot setting in the previous work.

First, generate your own few-shot learning split or use the same split as us (see DATASET.md).

# generate few-shot learning split
cd datasets/
python generate_few_shot_data.py
# train and evaluate the Point-BERT
bash ./scripts/train_BERT.sh <GPU_IDS> \
    --config cfgs/Fewshot_models/PointTransformer.yaml \
    --finetune_model \
    --ckpts <path> \
    --exp_name <name> \
    --way <int> \
    --shot <int> \
    --fold <int>

ScanObjectNN

To finetune a pre-trained Point-BERT model on ScanObjectNN, simply run:

bash ./scripts/train_BERT.sh <GPU_IDS>  \
    --config cfgs/ScanObjectNN_models/PointTransformer_hardest.yaml \
    --finetune_model \
    --ckpts <path> \
    --exp_name <name>

To evaluate a model on ScanObjectNN, simply run:

bash ./scripts/test_BERT.sh <GPU_IDS>\
    --config cfgs/ScanObjectNN_models/PointTransformer_hardest.yaml \
    --ckpts <path> \
    --exp_name <name>

Part Segmentation

To finetune a pre-trained Point-BERT model on ShapeNetPart

cd segmentation
python train_partseg.py \
    --model PointTransformer \
    --gpu <GPU_IDS> \
    --pretrain_weight <path> \
    --log_dir <name> 

To evaluate a model on ShapeNetPart, simply run:

python test_partseg.py \
    --gpu <GPU_IDS> \
    --log_dir <name>
