• Abstract: Despite the promising results of multi-view reconstruction, the recent neural rendering-based methods, such as implicit surface rendering (IDR) and volume rendering (NeuS), not only incur a heavy computational burden on training but also have the difficulties in disentangling the geometric and appearance. Although having achieved faster training speed than implicit representation and hash coding, the explicit voxel-based method obtains the inferior results on recovering surface. To address these challenges, we propose an effective mesh-based neural rendering approach, named FastMESH, which only samples at the intersection of ray and mesh. A coarse-to-fine scheme is introduced to efficiently extract the initial mesh by space carving. More importantly, we suggest a hexagonal mesh model to preserve surface regularity by constraining the second-order derivatives of vertices, where only low level of positional encoding is engaged for neural rendering. The experiments demonstrate that our approach achieves the state-of-the-art results on both reconstruction and novel view synthesis. Besides, we obtain 10-fold acceleration on training comparing to the implicit representation-based methods.

  We introduce Neural Poisson Surface Reconstruction (nPSR), an architecture for shape reconstruction that addresses the challenge of recovering 3D shapes from points. nPSR exhibits two main advantages: First, it enables efficient training on low-resolution data while achieving comparable performance at high-resolution evaluation. Overall, the neural Poisson surface reconstruction not only improves upon the limitations of classical deep neural networks in shape reconstruction but also achieves superior results in terms of reconstruction quality, running time, and resolution agnosticism.

  We present a novel neural surface reconstruction method, called NeuS, for reconstructing objects and scenes with high fidelity from 2D image inputs. Existing neural surface reconstruction approaches, such as DVR and IDR, require foreground mask as supervision. We observe that the conventional volume rendering method causes inherent geometric errors for surface reconstruction. We propose a new formulation that is free of bias in the first order of approximation, thus leading to more accurate surface reconstruction even without the mask supervision.
