• Abstract summary: We introduce Canonical Deformation Coordinate Space (CaDeX), a unified representation of both shape and nonrigid motion. Our novel deformation representation and its implementation are simple, efficient, and guarantee cycle consistency. We demonstrate state-of-the-art performance in modelling a wide range of deformable objects.

• Abstract: While neural representations for static 3D shapes are widely studied, representations for deformable surfaces are limited to be template-dependent or lack efficiency. We introduce Canonical Deformation Coordinate Space (CaDeX), a unified representation of both shape and nonrigid motion. Our key insight is the factorization of the deformation between frames by continuous bijective canonical maps (homeomorphisms) and their inverses that go through a learned canonical shape. Our novel deformation representation and its implementation are simple, efficient, and guarantee cycle consistency, topology preservation, and, if needed, volume conservation. Our modelling of the learned canonical shapes provides a flexible and stable space for shape prior learning. We demonstrate state-of-the-art performance in modelling a wide range of deformable geometries: human bodies, animal bodies, and articulated objects.

  This paper explores the problem of reconstructing temporally consistent surfaces from a 3D point cloud sequence without correspondence. We propose DynoSurf, an unsupervised learning framework integrating a template surface representation with a learnable deformation field. Experimental results demonstrate the significant superiority of DynoSurf over current state-of-the-art approaches.

  We propose a novel self-supervised approach to learn neural implicit shape representation for deformable objects. Our method does not require the priors of skeleton and skinning weight, and only requires a collection of shapes represented in signed distance fields. Our model can represent shapes with large deformations and can support two typical applications, such as texture transfer and shape editing.

  We introduce SNARF, which combines the advantages of linear blend skinning for polygonal meshes with neural implicit surfaces.

  A complete representation of 3D objects requires characterizing the space of deformations in an interpretable manner. We improve on a prior generative model of disentanglement for 3D shapes, wherein the space of object geometry is factorized into rigid orientation, non-rigid pose, and intrinsic shape. The resulting model can be trained from raw 3D shapes, without correspondences, labels, or even rigid alignment.

  We propose a new 3D shape representation that supports explicit correspondence reasoning in deep implicit representations. Our key idea is to formulate DIFs as conditional deformations of a template implicit function. We show that our method can not only learn a common implicit template for a collection of shapes, but also establish dense correspondences across all the shapes simultaneously without any supervision.
