📝 摘要（中文）
在感知过程中，多种传感器信息被整合以将2D视图的视觉信息映射到3D对象上，这对于理解3D环境非常有益。然而，从不同角度渲染的单一2D视图只能提供有限的部分信息。多视角2D信息的丰富性和价值可以为3D对象提供优越的自监督信号。本文提出了一种新颖的自监督点云表示学习方法MM-Point，旨在通过模态内和模态间的相似性目标来驱动学习。MM-Point的核心在于3D对象与多个2D视图之间的多模态交互与传输。为了更有效地基于对比学习同时执行一致的跨模态目标，本文进一步提出了Multi-MLP和多层增强策略。经过精心设计的变换策略，进一步学习了2D多视图中的多层不变性。MM-Point在各种下游任务中表现出最先进的性能。

📄 摘要（原文）
In perception, multiple sensory information is integrated to map visual information from 2D views onto 3D objects, which is beneficial for understanding in 3D environments. But in terms of a single 2D view rendered from different angles, only limited partial information can be provided.The richness and value of Multi-view 2D information can provide superior self-supervised signals for 3D objects. In this paper, we propose a novel self-supervised point cloud representation learning method, MM-Point, which is driven by intra-modal and inter-modal similarity objectives. The core of MM-Point lies in the Multi-modal interaction and transmission between 3D objects and multiple 2D views at the same time. In order to more effectively simultaneously perform the consistent cross-modal objective of 2D multi-view information based on contrastive learning, we further propose Multi-MLP and Multi-level Augmentation strategies. Through carefully designed transformation strategies, we further learn Multi-level invariance in 2D Multi-views. MM-Point demonstrates state-of-the-art (SOTA) performance in various downstream tasks. For instance, it achieves a peak accuracy of 92.4% on the synthetic dataset ModelNet40, and a top accuracy of 87.8% on the real-world dataset ScanObjectNN, comparable to fully supervised methods. Additionally, we demonstrate its effectiveness in tasks such as few-shot classification, 3D part segmentation and 3D semantic segmentation.
