ProjFormer: Point Cloud Completion via Geometric-Projective Transformer and Cross-Modal Semantic Constraints

Abstract

Point cloud completion is inherently ill-posed due to severe sparsity and ambiguity in partial observations. Existing multi-view methods alleviate this by incorporating 2D semantics, but often rely on learned attention and fixed fusion, which lack geometric consistency and adaptability. We propose ProjFormer, a cross-modal framework that enforces geometry-consistent 2D-3D interaction through explicit projection and adaptive feature routing. A Projective Guided View Attention module aligns 3D points with multi-view features via deterministic projection, enabling efficient and geometrically consistent aggregation. Building on this, a geometry-aware routing network performs point-wise adaptive fusion of structural and observation-driven features for progressive refinement. Experiments show that, under a lightweight design, ProjFormer delivers competitive performance with improved structural completeness.
