• Title: AUV-Net: Learning Aligned UV Maps for Texture Transfer and Synthesis
• Authors: Zhiqin Chen, Kangxue Yin, Sanja Fidler
• Abstract summary: We propose AUV-Net which learns to embed 3D surfaces into a 2D aligned UV space. As a result, textures are aligned across objects, and can thus be easily synthesized by generative models of images. The learned UV mapping and aligned texture representations enable a variety of applications including texture transfer, texture synthesis, and textured single view 3D reconstruction.

• Abstract: In this paper, we address the problem of texture representation for 3D shapes for the challenging and underexplored tasks of texture transfer and synthesis. Previous works either apply spherical texture maps which may lead to large distortions, or use continuous texture fields that yield smooth outputs lacking details. We argue that the traditional way of representing textures with images and linking them to a 3D mesh via UV mapping is more desirable, since synthesizing 2D images is a well-studied problem. We propose AUV-Net which learns to embed 3D surfaces into a 2D aligned UV space, by mapping the corresponding semantic parts of different 3D shapes to the same location in the UV space. As a result, textures are aligned across objects, and can thus be easily synthesized by generative models of images. Texture alignment is learned in an unsupervised manner by a simple yet effective texture alignment module, taking inspiration from traditional works on linear subspace learning. The learned UV mapping and aligned texture representations enable a variety of applications including texture transfer, texture synthesis, and textured single view 3D reconstruction. We conduct experiments on multiple datasets to demonstrate the effectiveness of our method. Project page: https://nv-tlabs.github.io/AUV-NET.

  3D Gaussian splatting, emerging as a groundbreaking approach, has drawn increasing attention for its capabilities of high-fidelity reconstruction and real-time rendering. We propose a novel approach, namely Texture-GS, to disentangle the appearance from the geometry by representing it as a 2D texture mapped onto the 3D surface. Our method not only facilitates high-fidelity appearance editing but also achieves real-time rendering on consumer-level devices.

  We introduce Texture UV Radiance Fields (TUVF) that generate textures in a learnable UV sphere space rather than directly on the 3D shape. TUVF allows the texture to be disentangled from the underlying shape and transferable to other shapes that share the same UV space. We perform our experiments on synthetic and real-world object datasets.

  We propose TEGLO (Textured EG3D-GLO) for learning 3D representations from single view in-the-wild image collections. We accomplish this by training a conditional Neural Radiance Field (NeRF) without any explicit 3D supervision. We demonstrate that such mapping enables texture transfer and texture editing without requiring meshes with shared topology.

  Estimating 3D mesh of the human body from a single 2D image is an important task with many applications such as augmented reality and Human-Robot interaction. Prior works reconstructed 3D mesh from global image feature extracted by using convolutional neural network (CNN), where the dense correspondences between the mesh surface and the image pixels are missing. This paper proposes a model-free 3D human mesh estimation framework, named DecoMR, which explicitly establishes the dense correspondence between the mesh and the local image features in the UV space.
