• Abstract: Neural implicit functions have emerged as a powerful representation for surfaces in 3D. Such a function can encode a high quality surface with intricate details into the parameters of a deep neural network. However, optimizing for the parameters for accurate and robust reconstructions remains a challenge, especially when the input data is noisy or incomplete. In this work, we develop a hybrid neural surface representation that allows us to impose geometry-aware sampling and regularization, which significantly improves the fidelity of reconstructions. We propose to use \emph{iso-points} as an explicit representation for a neural implicit function. These points are computed and updated on-the-fly during training to capture important geometric features and impose geometric constraints on the optimization. We demonstrate that our method can be adopted to improve state-of-the-art techniques for reconstructing neural implicit surfaces from multi-view images or point clouds. Quantitative and qualitative evaluations show that, compared with existing sampling and optimization methods, our approach allows faster convergence, better generalization, and accurate recovery of details and topology.

  We introduce Neural Poisson Surface Reconstruction (nPSR), an architecture for shape reconstruction that addresses the challenge of recovering 3D shapes from points. nPSR exhibits two main advantages: First, it enables efficient training on low-resolution data while achieving comparable performance at high-resolution evaluation. Overall, the neural Poisson surface reconstruction not only improves upon the limitations of classical deep neural networks in shape reconstruction but also achieves superior results in terms of reconstruction quality, running time, and resolution agnosticism.
