Significant progress has been made recently in point cloud segmentation utilizing an encoder-decoder framework, which initially encodes point clouds into low-resolution representations and subsequently decodes high-resolution predictions. Inspired by the success of high-resolution architectures in image dense prediction, which always maintains a high-resolution representation throughout the entire learning process, we consider it also highly important for 3D dense point cloud analysis. Therefore, in this paper, we explore high-resolution architectures for 3D point cloud segmentation. Specifically, we generalize high-resolution architectures using a unified pipeline named PointHR, which includes a knn-based sequence operator for feature extraction and a differential resampling operator to efficiently communicate different resolutions. Additionally, we propose to avoid numerous on-the-fly computations of high-resolution architectures by pre-computing the indices for both sequence and resampling operators. By doing so, we deliver highly competitive high-resolution architectures while capitalizing on the benefits of well-designed point cloud blocks without additional effort. To evaluate these architectures for dense point cloud analysis, we conduct thorough experiments using S3DIS and ScanNetV2 datasets, where the proposed PointHR outperforms recent state-of-the-art methods without any bells and whistles.
