Title: Self-Supervised Multi-View Learning via Auto-Encoding 3D Transformations. Abstract: 3D object representation learning is a fundamental challenge in computer vision to draw inferences about the 3D world. Recent advances in deep learning have shown their efficiency in 3D object recognition, among which view-based methods have performed best so far. However, feature learning of multiple views in existing methods is mostly trained in a supervised fashion, which often requires a large amount of data labels with high cost. Hence, it is critical to learn multi-view feature representations in a self-supervised fashion. To this end, we propose a novel self-supervised learning paradigm of Multi-View Transformation Equivariant Representations (MV-TER), exploiting the equivariant transformations of a 3D object and its projected multiple views. Specifically, we perform a 3D transformation on a 3D object, and obtain multiple views before and after transformation via projection. Then, we self-train a representation learning module to capture the intrinsic 3D object representation by decoding 3D transformation parameters from the fused feature representations of multiple views before and after transformation. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed MV-TER significantly outperforms the state-of-the-art view-based approaches in 3D object classification and retrieval tasks.
