• Abstract summary: Underwater perception and 3D surface reconstruction are challenging problems with broad applications in construction, security, marine archaeology, and environmental monitoring. Our work develops a physics-based multimodal acoustic-optical neural surface reconstruction framework. By fusing these complementary modalities, our framework can reconstruct accurate high-resolution 3D surfaces from measurements captured over heavily-restricted baselines.

• Abstract: Underwater perception and 3D surface reconstruction are challenging problems with broad applications in construction, security, marine archaeology, and environmental monitoring. Treacherous operating conditions, fragile surroundings, and limited navigation control often dictate that submersibles restrict their range of motion and, thus, the baseline over which they can capture measurements. In the context of 3D scene reconstruction, it is well-known that smaller baselines make reconstruction more challenging. Our work develops a physics-based multimodal acoustic-optical neural surface reconstruction framework (AONeuS) capable of effectively integrating high-resolution RGB measurements with low-resolution depth-resolved imaging sonar measurements. By fusing these complementary modalities, our framework can reconstruct accurate high-resolution 3D surfaces from measurements captured over heavily-restricted baselines. Through extensive simulations and in-lab experiments, we demonstrate that AONeuS dramatically outperforms recent RGB-only and sonar-only inverse-differentiable-rendering--based surface reconstruction methods.

• GSurf: 3D Reconstruction via Signed Distance Fields with Direct Gaussian Supervision [0.0]
  Surface reconstruction from multi-view images is a core challenge in 3D vision. Recent studies have explored signed distance fields (SDF) within Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF) to achieve high-fidelity surface reconstructions. We introduce GSurf, a novel end-to-end method for learning a signed distance field directly from Gaussian primitives. GSurf achieves faster training and rendering speeds while delivering 3D reconstruction quality comparable to neural implicit surface methods, such as VolSDF and NeuS.

  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.

  This letter proposes a real-time feature volume-based dense reconstruction method that predicts TSDF values from a novel sparsified deep feature volume. An uncertainty-aware multi-view stereo network is leveraged to infer initial voxel locations of the physical surface in a sparse feature volume.

  State-of-the-art neural implicit methods allow for high-quality reconstructions of simple scenes from many input views.

Motivated by recent advances in the area of monocular geometry prediction, we explore the utility these cues provide for improving neural implicit surface reconstruction.
