• Abstract summary: Shape priors have long been known to be effective when reconstructing 3D shapes from noisy or incomplete data. In this paper, we advocate a hybrid approach representing shapes in terms of 3D meshes with a separate latent vector at each vertex. For inference, the latent vectors are updated independently while imposing spatial regularization constraints. We show that this gives us both flexibility and generalization capabilities, which we demonstrate on several medical image processing tasks.

• Abstract: Shape priors have long been known to be effective when reconstructing 3D shapes from noisy or incomplete data. When using a deep-learning based shape representation, this often involves learning a latent representation, which can be either in the form of a single global vector or of multiple local ones. The latter allows more flexibility but is prone to overfitting. In this paper, we advocate a hybrid approach representing shapes in terms of 3D meshes with a separate latent vector at each vertex. During training the latent vectors are constrained to have the same value, which avoids overfitting. For inference, the latent vectors are updated independently while imposing spatial regularization constraints. We show that this gives us both flexibility and generalization capabilities, which we demonstrate on several medical image processing tasks.

  We introduce SNARF, which combines the advantages of linear blend skinning for polygonal meshes with neural implicit surfaces. We propose a forward skinning model that finds all canonical correspondences of any deformed point using iterative root finding. Compared to state-of-the-art neural implicit representations, our approach generalizes better to unseen poses while preserving accuracy.

• Deep Implicit Templates for 3D Shape Representation [70.9789507686618]
  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.

  We propose a novel regularization term called Gram regularization. By forcing the variance between weight kernels to be large, the regularizer can help to extract discriminative features. The proposed Gram regularization is data independent and can converge stably and quickly without bells and whistles.
