• Abstract: Estimating the pose of an object from a monocular image is an inverse problem fundamental in computer vision. The ill-posed nature of this problem requires incorporating deformation priors to solve it. In practice, many materials do not perceptibly shrink or extend when manipulated, constituting a powerful and well-known prior. Mathematically, this translates to the preservation of the Riemannian metric. Neural networks offer the perfect playground to solve the surface reconstruction problem as they can approximate surfaces with arbitrary precision and allow the computation of differential geometry quantities. This paper presents an approach to inferring continuous deformable surfaces from a sequence of images, which is benchmarked against several techniques and obtains state-of-the-art performance without the need for offline training.

  We introduce Spurfies, a novel method for sparse-view surface reconstruction. It disentangles appearance and geometry information to utilize local geometry priors trained on synthetic data. We validate our method on the DTU dataset and demonstrate that it outperforms previous state of the art by 35% in surface quality.

  3D surface reconstruction from multi-view images is essential for scene understanding and interaction. Recent implicit surface representations, such as Neural Radiance Fields (NeRFs) and signed distance functions (SDFs) employ various geometric priors to resolve the lack of observed information. We propose regularizing the geometric modeling by explicitly encouraging the mutual information among surface normals of highly correlated scene points.

  The reconstruction of indoor scenes from multi-view RGB images is challenging due to the coexistence of flat and texture-less regions. Recent methods leverage neural radiance fields aided by predicted surface normal priors to recover the scene geometry. This work aims to reconstruct high-fidelity surfaces with fine-grained details by addressing the above limitations.
