VoteNet
Deep Hough Voting for 3D Object Detection in Point Clouds
...It tackles the challenge that object centroids in 3D scenes often don’t lie on any input surface point by having each point “vote” for potential object centers; these votes are then clustered to propose object hypotheses. Once cluster centers are formed, the network regresses bounding boxes around them and classifies them. VoteNet works end-to-end: it learns the voting, aggregation, and bounding-box regression components jointly, enabling strong detection accuracy without relying on 2D proxies or voxelization. The codebase includes data preparation for indoor datasets (SUN RGB-D, ScanNet), training and evaluation scripts, and demo utilities to visualize predicted boxes over point clouds.
