• Abstract: This paper introduces a set of numerical methods for Riemannian shape analysis of 3D surfaces within the setting of invariant (elastic) second-order Sobolev metrics. More specifically, we address the computation of geodesics and geodesic distances between parametrized or unparametrized immersed surfaces represented as 3D meshes. Building on this, we develop tools for the statistical shape analysis of sets of surfaces, including methods for estimating Karcher means and performing tangent PCA on shape populations, and for computing parallel transport along paths of surfaces. Our proposed approach fundamentally relies on a relaxed variational formulation for the geodesic matching problem via the use of varifold fidelity terms, which enable us to enforce reparametrization independence when computing geodesics between unparametrized surfaces, while also yielding versatile algorithms that allow us to compare surfaces with varying sampling or mesh structures. Importantly, we demonstrate how our relaxed variational framework can be extended to tackle partially observed data. The different benefits of our numerical pipeline are illustrated over various examples, synthetic and real.

  We propose a novel method for reconstructing explicit parameterized surfaces from Signed Distance Fields (SDFs) Our approach iteratively contracts a parameterized initial sphere to conform to the target SDF shape, preserving differentiability and surface parameterization throughout. This enables downstream applications such as texture mapping, geometry processing, animation, and finite element analysis.

  This paper introduces a new mathematical and numerical framework for surface analysis. The specificity of the approach we develop is to restrict the space of allowable transformations to predefined finite dimensional bases of deformation fields. We specifically validate our approach on human body shape and pose data as well as human face scans, and show how it generally outperforms state-of-the-art methods on problems such as shape registration, motion transfer or random pose generation.

  Mesh deformation plays a pivotal role in many 3D vision tasks including dynamic simulations, rendering, and reconstruction. A prevalent approach in current deep learning is the set-based approach which measures the discrepancy between two surfaces by comparing two randomly sampled point-clouds from the two meshes with Chamfer pseudo-distance. We propose a novel metric for learning mesh deformation, defined by sliced Wasserstein distance on meshes represented as probability measures that generalize the set-based approach.

  Deep generative models have demonstrated successful applications in learning non-linear data distributions through a number of latent variables. The nonlinearity of the generator implies that the latent space shows an unsatisfactory projection of the data space, which results in poor representation learning. We show that geodesics and accurate computation can substantially improve the performance of deep generative models.
