Advancements in Point Cloud Data Augmentation for Deep Learning: A Survey

Deep learning (DL) has become one of the mainstream and effective methods for point cloud analysis tasks such as detection, segmentation and classification. To reduce overfitting during training DL models and improve model performance especially when the amount and/or diversity of training data are limited, augmentation is often crucial. Although various point cloud data augmentation methods have been widely used in different point cloud processing tasks, there are currently no published systematic surveys or reviews of these methods. Therefore, this …
