Complexity-Calibrated Reconstruction Discrepancy for No-Reference Point Cloud Quality Assessment

The discrepancy induced by surface reconstruction in a distorted point cloud is jointly influenced by its intrinsic structural complexity and signal degradation.

Key points

  • This observation motivates a referencefree point cloud quality assessment (PCQA) strategy that estimates and compensates for the complexity-induced component.
  • Specifically, reconstructing the distorted point cloud produces an input-toreconstruction discrepancy that combines the effects of signal degradation and content complexity.
  • Reapplying the reconstruction operator with stronger smoothing produces a discrepancy between successive reconstructions, which serves as a proxy for the complexityinduced component.
  • We apply the same strategy to 3D geometry patches and their aligned 2D regions, enabling local comparison of the resulting discrepancies.
