To transfer high-level semantic knowledge into 3D representations, I2P-MAE tasks the decoded visible tokens Tvisd∈RMvis×C with reconstructing multi-view 2D visual features.
Target 2D representations Fvis3D∈RMvis×3C are constructed by indexing into the multi-view 2D feature maps {Fi2D}i=13 using the visible point patch center coordinates PvisT∈RMvis×3 and concatenating across all 3 views:
Fvis3D=Concat{I2P(Fi2D,PvisT)}i=13
The 2D semantic reconstruction loss L2D is the mean squared error (ℓ2 loss) between a linear projection head H2D(Tvisd) and the target Fvis3D:
L2D=Mvis1(H2D(Tvisd)−Fvis3D)2
The 3D coordinate reconstruction loss L3D is the Chamfer distance between the predicted points from the linear head H3D(Tmaskd) and the ground-truth masked patch coordinates Pmask∈RMmask×k×3:
L3D=Mmaskk1Chamfer(H3D(Tmaskd),Pmask)
The total pre-training loss is:
LI2P=L3D+L2D
