Fine-grained point cloud classification based on hierarchical feature enhancement. Journal of Zhejiang University (Science Edition),2025,52(1):70⁃80(基于层次特征增强的细粒度点云分类)... by 白静(BAI Jing), 刘路(LIU Lu), 郑虎(ZHENG Hu), 蒋金哲(JIANG Jinzhe)

“…The Veronese mapping-based point feature enhancement module (V-PE) is used to enhance the point cloud data, so that the network learns higher-order information of the normal and the attitude; the multi-scale context-aware intra-cluster feature enhancement module (CA-IntraCE) utilizes different scales of K-nearest neighbor algorithms and cross-attention to achieve different scales of features and eliminate the loss of information caused by maximal pooling; the inter-cluster feature enhancement module (GSS-InterCE) based on grouped sparse sampling utilizes the furthest-point-sampling (FPS) algorithm to obtain sparse points and the cross-attention to achieve the enhancement of different clusters, so that the network has stronger fine-grained discriminative ability.In the experimental results on the three sub-datasets Airplane, Car, and Chair of FG3D, the overall accuracies of HFE-Net reach 97.40%, 80.53%, and 83.83%, respectively, which have ex-ceeded those of the existing SOTA methods, DC-Net and FGPNet, showcasing the superior classification performance of HFE-Net.…”

Journal of Health and Social Sciences: A reputable, DOAJ-indexed, free, open access journal by Francesco Chirico

“…The DOAJ guarantees scientific quality because it only publishes high-quality, open access titles after the research passes a serious evaluation process conducted by a panel of leading experts in scientific publishing. Discriminating between legitimate and predatory journals is difficult, and in 2016, the DOAJ removed approximately 3,330 journals from its database due to their failure to submit valid reapplications based on new criteria established by the DOAJ in response to the ‘maturing open access arena’ and the ‘greater demands made on open access publishing by questionable journals and publishers’ [4]. …”
