Point cloud completion is a crucial task in 3D computer vision. Multi-modal completion approaches have gained attention among the popular two-stage point cloud completion methods. However, there is a notable lack of research focused on accurately aligning data from different modalities within these methods. Additionally, in other point cloud-based tasks, edge point information often provides unexpected positive contributions. In this paper, we propose a novel point cloud completion method that leverages edge point information for the first time in the completion task, which also addresses the precise alignment of multi-modal data. In particular, we implement a two-step local-to-global module to achieve better alignment of multi-modal data during the preliminary point cloud generation process. Besides, we introduce a new spatial representation structure capable of extracting a fixed number of edge points. Moreover, with the assistance of edge information, we further design an inverse edge-aware upsampler to refine the point cloud. We evaluate our method on three typical datasets, and the results demonstrate that our IE-PMMA outperforms the existing state-of-the-art methods quantitatively and visually.
