• Abstract summary: We propose a differentiable forward model for 3D meshes that bridge the gap between the forward model for 3D surfaces and optimization. We use the proposed forward model to reconstruct 3D shapes directly from projections. Experimental results for single-object problems show that the proposed method outperforms traditional voxel-based methods on noisy simulated data.

• Abstract: In computed tomography, the reconstruction is typically obtained on a voxel grid. In this work, however, we propose a mesh-based reconstruction method. For tomographic problems, 3D meshes have mostly been studied to simulate data acquisition, but not for reconstruction, for which a 3D mesh means the inverse process of estimating shapes from projections. In this paper, we propose a differentiable forward model for 3D meshes that bridge the gap between the forward model for 3D surfaces and optimization. We view the forward projection as a rendering process, and make it differentiable by extending recent work in differentiable rendering. We use the proposed forward model to reconstruct 3D shapes directly from projections. Experimental results for single-object problems show that the proposed method outperforms traditional voxel-based methods on noisy simulated data. We also apply the proposed method on electron tomography images of nanoparticles to demonstrate the applicability of the method on real data.

  regression-based methods have dominated the field of 3D human pose and shape estimation. We propose to construct dense correspondences between initial human model estimates and the corresponding images. We show that our approach not only consistently leads to better image-model alignment, but also to improved 3D accuracy.

  We propose a new modeling method for human pose deformations and design an accompanying diffusion-based motion prior. Inspired by the field of non-rigid structure-from-motion, we divide the task of reconstructing 3D human skeletons in motion into the estimation of a 3D reference skeleton. A mixed spatial-temporal NRSfMformer is used to simultaneously estimate the 3D reference skeleton and the skeleton deformation of each frame from 2D observations sequence.

  We consider the task of generating realistic 3D shapes for automatic scene generation and physical simulation. We take advantage of the graph structure of meshes and use a simple yet very effective generative modeling method to generate 3D meshes. Specifically, we represent meshes with deformable tetrahedral grids, and then train a diffusion model on this direct parametrization.

  Diffusion models have emerged as the new state-of-the-art generative model with high quality samples. We propose to augment the 2D diffusion prior with a model-based prior in the remaining direction at test time, such that one can achieve coherent reconstructions across all dimensions. Our method can be run in a single commodity GPU, and establishes the new state-of-the-art.

We show that it is possible to infer the uncertainty of the underlying 3D geometry given a novel view with the proposed estimator. We present a next-best-view selection policy guided by the ray-based volumetric uncertainty in neural radiance fields-based representations.

  We study the problem of shape generation in 3D mesh representation from a small number of color images with or without camera poses. We adopt to further improve the shape quality by leveraging cross-view information with a graph convolution network. Our model is robust to the quality of the initial mesh and the error of camera pose, and can be combined with a differentiable function for test-time optimization.

• An Effective Loss Function for Generating 3D Models from Single 2D Image without Rendering [0.0]
  Differentiable rendering is a very successful technique that applies to a Single-View 3D Reconstruction. Currents use losses based on pixels between a rendered image of some 3D reconstructed object and ground-truth images from given matched viewpoints to optimise parameters of the 3D shape. We propose a novel effective loss function that evaluates how well the projections of reconstructed 3D point clouds cover the ground truth object's silhouette.
