• Abstract: We present a differentiable representation, DMesh, for general 3D triangular meshes. DMesh considers both the geometry and connectivity information of a mesh. In our design, we first get a set of convex tetrahedra that compactly tessellates the domain based on Weighted Delaunay Triangulation (WDT), and select triangular faces on the tetrahedra to define the final mesh. We formulate probability of faces to exist on the actual surface in a differentiable manner based on the WDT. This enables DMesh to represent meshes of various topology in a differentiable way, and allows us to reconstruct the mesh under various observations, such as point cloud and multi-view images using gradient-based optimization.

Our approach can handle complex cloth meshes with up to $100$K triangles and scenes with various objects corresponding to SMPL humans, Non-SMPL humans, or rigid bodies.

  We introduce a differentiable way to produce explicit surface mesh representations from Deep Implicit Fields. Our key insight is that by reasoning on how implicit field perturbations impact local surface geometry, one can ultimately differentiate the 3D location of surface samples. We exploit this to define DeepMesh -- end-to-end differentiable mesh representation that can vary its topology.

Our experiments demonstrate that building additionally convolutional models that explicitly leverage the neighborhood size regularity of dual meshes enables learning shape representations that perform on par or better than previous approaches.
